Is there any way? I cannot copy the DVD to my harddrive or make duplicate. Is there any other way around this on an iMac?

Get mac the ripper to rip it to your drive and then a copy of toast if you want to burn it to a dvd again. Otherwise just watch the ripped copy with vlc.
out of curiosity, how do you do this on a PC?

I've used DVD Shrink to rip it to your computer, then Vidomi to convert it to AVI for reduced storage - neither are the best solution, so any other suggestions would be useful.Quote:

dvdshrink works great for copying movies.
On a side note.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the pesky watermarks some people put on their fotos?

Hard Days Night is the holy grail for me right now. Apple has a huge wall around their products. Otherwise, Mac the Ripper works 95% of the time.
Fast DVD Copy
It's a one application process. No need for Toast or others.
That's not for a mac though, is it?Quote:

I just think it is interesting that such a hallaballo is raised over downloaded pics but no comments on this practice. I understand that you are probably not submitting the work as your own (or selling it) and only using it for your own viewing or listening pleasure (like a photo for a screensaver) but the intellectuall property rights issue is the same.
Anyhow cheers, its just an observation.
No they're not.Quote:

Just thought I'd throw a little thought into the topic since the threads on photography has had me rethink some of my views on such issues.
Fair use laws vs IP laws read up.Quote:

If you want to argue IP vs Fair Use then make a new thread YOU STUPID FUCKING JONG.Quote:

Forgot about this thread. The hypocracy in this place fucking amazes me sometimes. Yes, I bet everyone makes copies of movies "as back ups."
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Oh wait, nevermind, I forgot that video and music piracy are "sticking it to the man," so that's OK.
My bad guys, I was wrong.
As people have said before, it's not ripping it off if you own it. My yearbook dvd is scratched or something from too much use. The way things SHOULD work, I should be sent another dvd. Somehow I don't think matchstick will do this. When you buy a dvd you should have the right to do whatever the fuck you want with it other than sell it. Yearbook is one of my favorite movies, I should not have to pay for it again.Quote:

Yes, I would love to be able to do that. If I had I would still have Yearbook. I cannot speak for everyone else but my reasons are completely legitimate. Once you buy music/movies once, you should never have to buy them again.Quote:

I find this logic interesting. So if anything you buy; car, washing machine, book, CD, DVD, vinyl record, et cetera, wear out you should get a new one?Quote:

"Fair use laws vs IP laws read up."
Guess I have some reading to do.
You probably think GNU and Open Source are the same thing too right?
Uh...more reading I guess

Agreed. A hardware dongle malfunction cost my business thousands of dollars before we were able to figure out what was up.

I was given a gift of a sixty gigabyte hard disk with mostly rare classical and jazz music. I know a lot of it was downloaded peer to peer. I am enjoying some nice flaminco music from it right now.

The law dosen't care whether it was "given" to you or not.Quote:

Learn how to use the quote button, its pretty simple.
If you must know, the reason I was asking was so that I could burn copies of movies to keep in the vehicle so that we can use them in our DVD player on road trips. All I wanted to know was if it were possible or not. Sheesh. :rolleyes2

Not so sure about that. Being in possesion of stolen property is not in itself proof of theft. The burden of proof would still rest on the prosecutionQuote:

so... I buy some cds and download them to my ipod and it is my legal responsibility to keep the receipts? Sounds pretty weak to me.
Same thing with audits.Quote:

Better to trash it than get held responsible for it.
