I thought when I purchased my new ibook with the superdrive that
I'd be able to download/import movies from a dvd and save them to

of copyrights or anything as selling something has never been part
of the plan. I simply thought I'd be a cool way to create a video
library. Whether I stored the movies on a larger external hard
drive or copied them to disc. So I guess my question is two-
fold: 1. Is it possible to save/copy a movie from a dvd that I
have either rented or borrowed? 2. Is doing this illegal?
I've briefly browsed some sites that claim to have software to
support this. But I thought better to get some direction and
guidance from people I've learned to respect.
There are programs that let you rip DVDs. You can do this for your
own personal use under Fair Use only for dvds you own. I do this
for my movies that I own and put the originals away so they don't
get damaged. Rented and borrowed movies don't fall under this
though as you don't own the actual DVD. I myself use Mac The
Ripper to rip the dvd and I use Popcorn to reburn them. Popcorn
is from the same people who make Toast.
