Backup DVD to Video File on Computer

I believe that every film lover has a large number of DVD movies in their storage. To protect the DVD disc, most of the flim fans do not watch the movies with the DVD. They always backup their DVD movies to video format or make a copy to another DVD. When they want to watch the movie, they just juse the copy DVD or just watch the video file from their computer.

To backup DVD movies into video files on computer, you need a dvd ripping software. DVD ripper is the best choice to do that. This kind of software can help you to rip your DVD movies into one video file and you can choose the output format and other settings. To save the effect of the DVD movies, I think MKV is the best choice to convert. However, if you want to watch your movies on your iPad and other android tablet, you need to choose .mp4 format I think.

The software allows users to choose subtitles and audio track from the DVD movies and you can juse rip the main movie without the annoying ads. If you only want a part of the movie, the dvd riping software can help you to do that. It can cut any part of the movie to rip and it can help you to merge many video files into on output video file. It can also cut off the black edges of the movie. It allows users to set the aspect ratio. In order to make the conversion process easier, the developer provides users many default output profiles. So users do not need to adjust the output video's settings when they want to rip their movies to a certain video format. Of course, if you want to adjust the video's setting and effect, most of dvd ripper software allows users to do that. For Mac users, dvd ripper for mac is your choice to do that. It does the same as the windows version does.

If you choose to make a copy of the DVD movie and use the copy to watch. It's OK. Then you need a DVD copy software to help you to copy your DVD movies to a blank DVD disc. All the commercial DVD movies has protections to prevent people sell the movie to others without warrant. If you use it personally, it is ok. To copy DVD, you need a DVD burner and a blank DVD disc. The dvd copy software can help you to copy whatever on one DVD to another. You can also choose the only copy the main movie. I recommend the second way to do that, because we just want to watch the main movie and do not want to watch the ads and other things. If you are using Mac OS computer, you need a DVD copy for mac to help you to do that.

To backup your DVD movies is only a way to protect your DVD movies, you can choose either way I said above to do that. Of course you can also use the DVD movies you purchased from store. That's your choice. I just recommend my ways to protect your DVD disc.

Part 2, How to play DVD on Mac?
VLC is part of a remarkably sophisticated suite of VideoLan applications available for a wide range of operating systems, ranging from Linux to Windows and, of course, Mac OS X.
Download and install VLC and open it, then select File > Open Disc. Click on the Disc tab, click on DVD, select the device, and click OK
Or select File > Open File..., select your VIDEO_TS folder, and voila! You're watching your movie.



Part 3, How to Unlock DVD Regions on Mac?
Most commercial DVDs use encryption that keeps them locked to one or more “region codes,” meaning the discs you pick up in other continents usually won't play on an American DVD player. If you believe the movie studios, this encryption is a necessary tool in the ongoing war against piracy. Basically, it helps them release the same movie in different parts of the world—at different times and for different prices. However, because pirates rarely resell legitimate copies of movies (they are pirates, after all), this system's primary effect is to prevent movie collectors and frequent travelers from enjoying legally purchased films once they get home.
There are some multi-region DVD players out there. They are perfectly legal, but they tend to be pricey and rare. And if you are the jet-setting type who is likely to pick up foreign flicks in the first place, you probably want to watch them on the go using your laptop. That's why the most frustrating part of region codes is the way they affect laptop DVD players.
Although laptop DVD drives are technologically capable of playing any DVD, they typically force you to switch among region settings to play imported discs. Try switching this setting more than a fixed number of times (typically five over the entire life span of the computer), and the setting will be locked forever.
For example, if you switch from Region 1 (the United States and Canada) to Region 3 (parts of Asia) to watch a kung-fu flick you picked up on a trip to Hong Kong, you'll have to switch back to Region 1 before playing any movies you purchased at your local Best Buy. Watching that one Jet Li movie just burned up two of your five switches—and not even reinstalling your operating system will get you more. Fortunately, some clever programmers have created software solutions that circumvent disc regions entirely, turning your notebook into a portable multiregional DVD player.
There are plenty of programs for Macs that allow you to rip DVD movies on Mac. I recommend Aiseesoft DVD Ripper for Mac which allows you to rip DVD movies on Mac easily. This Mac DVD Ripper is fast in ripping DVD to all popular video and audio formats as it includes the features of DVD Ripper and DVD Audio Ripper. It can rip DVD video to video formats including MP4, AVI, MOV, M4V, 3GP, MPG, MPEG, FLV, etc. and it can convert DVD audio to MP3, M4A, AAC, AC3, etc. It's the best solution to rip a dvd to video or audio formats on Mac. This solution has its advantages (chief among them is that watching movies off your hard drive uses far less battery life than reading them from an optical disc.)
If you do not want to spend money, I recommend downloading VLC, an open-source media player that sometimes circumvents region encoding. The DVD drives on different computers (including various Macs) come from diverse manufacturers, a.nd VLC plays out-of-region discs on some, but not all of them. Unfortunately, there's no way to know if it will work on your system until you try. Fortunately, the program is free.

Part 4, how to copy protected DVD Movie on Mac OS X
Copy protected DVD action can turn into failure if you don't have appropriate software. Very often DVDs are protected against ripping and thus copying the contents of the disc to your hard disk doesn't work. Even if you do succeed in ripping the contents of the disc, to copy protected DVD also means to fit the files on your recordable DVD since the latter can only hold 4.4GB of data while the original DVD is more than 7GB in size.
Copy protected DVD software for those, who have no experience whatsoever with backing-up DVDs, is big deal. DVD Copy for Mac
