I think backup would be ok, but compression is not something I'd want to run inside of Freevo. It just takes far too long.
The way I want to do it, is to run 'vobcopy' (http://lpn.rnbhq.org/projects/c/c.shtml) to dump the DVD into a VOB file on the hard drive. After that, if someone wants to compress it, it would have to happen in the background... The actual legal problem is more complicated than with CDs. The DMCA prohibits circumventing copy protection, regardless of whether it's your copy of the DVD. It's completely foolish, but your fair use rights are overridden by the prohibition against circumventing copy protection. Audio CDs have no copy protection, so you're not circumventing anything, hence fair use takes over. The main thing is that I don't think Freevo should ever include the vobcopy binary with dvdcss support, but just point you to where you can get it if you're in the (increasingly few) countries where it's allowed.
