Thanks David. Valuable advice as always. I was talking about CD compilation, 
not DVD. FYI, here’s an excellent DVD ripper for Mac that let’s you rip short 
clips: http://www.winxdvd.com/dvd-ripper-for-mac/ 
<http://www.winxdvd.com/dvd-ripper-for-mac/>  And here’s a Blu-ray ripper that 
does the same:

Those are rippers. For copying only, this one copies any DVD:

Blu-ray:
