Couple things here. First, if you're in the US, there is no such thing as a legal copy of an encrypted DVD. Software/tools which enable the mere act of breaking the encryption was classified as illegal act by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) which trumps fair use:

Google DMCA and DVD Copying for lots of supporting cases. Apparently playing a DVD on a TV and aiming a video camera at it to make a "backup" is ok because you didn't break the encryption, which is why HDMI has all that encryption stuff as well, so you can't just squirt decrypted video into some recorder device.

That said, if you don't care about any of that, RipIt will decrypt a commercial DVD and store it on your hard drive. That at least gets your first step. From there you can play the folder of data with DVD Player or the like and keep your original DVD on the shelf. Not sure how you turn that back into a burnable DVD image.

OK, I have a DVD which I purchased completely legally, don't worry, and would like to make my one legal backup copy of the movie. So, two things:

1. I don't want just the audio only. I'm wanting an exact duplication of the DVD.

2. I can't use Simplyburns or something of the like, as the dvd is incripted. I need something that will strip the copy protection, and d-scramble the incription. I know that DVD Remaster can do some of this, and yes, I do have a copy of it, but I never have been able to get my head around that thing. I don't know why, I just have never been able to figure it out. I'd prefer a sollution that would let me strip, and burn all within the same app, but if that isn't feezible then just tell me what I need to get, and talk me through, step by step what to do to make this happen.

I have a white 13 inch stocked mid 2010 pollicarbon macbook running 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

Thanks.

Chris.
