Thumbs up How to Make a Copy of DVD Movies on Mac

I have at hand a great number of DVD movie collections, and some of them are very old. I have to take good care of these old DVD discs. However, exactly last Sunday, when I wanted to watch a movie, one of my favorite DVD movies became eternally unusable as it was over-scratched.

While accepting the fact, it is necessary for me to find an active and effective way to solve the problem. If I had had an extra copy of the disc, I could still enjoy the movie. So I guess whether there exist such programs that backup DVD movies to blank DVD discs so that I can still take the copy out even if the original disc is broken or out of use. I made a Google search for them and my final target was Wondershare DVD Copy for Mac. I only wanted to backup those old DVD movies. What frustrated me was that the majority of them are copyright protected and the other applications I found were not able to copy the DVD movies. However, this program helped me out. It can remove the protection mechanisms for me and I can make another copy of my movies.

Besides, I also have several VIDEO_TS folders that were ripped from several DVD's before. I thought this was able to keep the DVD movies, however, I found this help me nothing but take up much hard drive space. In the end, I burnt these ripped files to DVD's again.

So you see, this Mac application really lent me a helping hand. Now, I don't need to worry about how to save the DVD discs' life even if they are terminally unusable. And I don't need to rip the DVD's to my computer in order to back up them. And for you, I am sure you can find it more useful and helpful. Well worth a shot, in one word.

After I recommended to my friend the program, he told me to use Mac The Ripper to get the VIDEO_TS files, make an image and then burn the image.
Sounds a good idea!
But what are the detailed steps and which tools do I need?

Have you ever played Minesweeper on Windows? It is not just for Windows anymore!
I poked around the Internet for a decent Minesweeper version for Mac OS X and really found one that was to my liking.

And you are sure to find the game called Magic Pen below rather creative(make clever use of your physics):

If you have interest in them, you can go to http://www.mac-dvd-ripper.com/article/free-mac-game.html to download them for free.
