There’s free software to do this. This depends on the source of the DVDs. If they are not commercial DVDs, they’ll likely not be copy protected and Handbrake <https://handbrake.fr/> will work to copy them to MP4 format on your hard drive. If they’re commercial copy protected DVDs, Handbrake alone won’t do the job because of the CSS copy protection. You’ll have to install a helper for Handbrake called libDVDCSS <https://www.macxdvd.com/mac-dvd-video-converter-how-to/libdvdcss-mac-download.htm> to get that copy of Spider-Man onto your hard drive. There’s not-free software to do it too. The easiest solution is to throw a little money at the problem. Mac DVD Ripper Pro <https://www.macdvdripperpro.com/> is a easy-to-use GUI front end for Handbrake+libDVDCSS, with some nice custom enhancements. It’s on sale right now for about $25. This is what I use to put movies on my MacBook Pro for long plane flights. L^2 ---- Lee Larson [email protected] It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things. — Terry Pratchett Jingo
