Here is the process that I go through to copy a DVD.
I'm not interested in copying DVDs, but I *am* interested in putting them on my home server so I can watch them over Wi-Fi on my PowerBook without having to go to the DVD shelf (and also save the lifespan of my DVD-ROM drive.. plus I can copy them to my hard drive for viewing at work without carting DVDs around). I currently use my PC to compress my DVDs to ~650Mb DivX files. Is there an application that will allow me to do that in OS X? I've got as far as ripping and de-CSSing the files using DVDBackup (you have to do the audio and video streams separately, right?) but I can't find anything that will import the VOBs and compress them to 3ivx/DivX/other MPEG-4 format. Any ideas?
Also:
Play DVD for a few seconds to unlock.
Is this necessary?
