Remember when you headed to the neighborhood video store to rent movies? Remember VHS tapes? Remember standing in line?

Thankfully, those days are gone, completely replaced by the DVD generation, which is quickly being replaced by streaming movies and TV shows from the internet. If you’re still into DVDs, here’s a way to rip them to your Mac and six ways you’ll love doing it.

Rip. Mix. Burn. Without The Burn

In the early days of the iMac, Apple promoted Rip. Mix. Burn. and launched iTunes so we could all take our music CDs and copy them to the Mac. You know, for backup and safekeeping.

Then along came the iPod and we digitized entire CD libraries and used the iPod to play music. The CD became the backup.

DVDs may disappear from the shelves one day in the future, but for now, DVDs remain a good source of home movie viewing. Who among us doesn’t have a collection of DVD movies and TV shows?

It’s time to rip those DVDs to your Mac. You know, for backup and safekeeping. That’s what DVDRipper Pro does. This handy little app can change how you view and use DVD movies.

Protect DVDs: By ripping your DVD movies and TV shows to your Mac, DVDRipper Pro acts as a backup creation tool. The DVD becomes the backup, and you can watch the DVD on your Mac and avoid loss or scratches to the DVD.

Time Shifting: Who doesn’t like time shifting. That’s what makes DVRs so popular. What not do the same with your DVD rentals. Instead of rushing to get them back to the store within a day or so, rip them to your Mac, view them when you want. Win. Win.

Save Battery Life: Most Mac users are MacBook owners, and that means battery life is a premium. Running a DVD in the Mac notebook uses much more battery power than the ripped movie, so your Mac’s battery lasts longer while you view movies.

Manage DVD Collection Digitally: Forget worrying about organizing a bookshelf wall of DVDs. Copy them to your Mac as a backup and manage the entire collection (or, whatever you want to watch), right from your Mac. Label, move, group the movies just like a bunch of Mac files.

Import To iTunes: Wait. We don’t want to lug the Mac everywhere just to watch a movie. Doesn’t the iPad and iPhone work for movies. Yep. Rip a DVD to your Mac, import it into iTunes, and make it ready to sync up with your iPad or iPhone or run on your big screen TV using Apple TV.

Mac DVDRipper Pro runs on Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion. The only real negative is that not all DVDs will rip (haven’t found a movie that doesn’t– yet), and each movie takes awhile to rip to your Mac (depends on the Mac), so find some chores to do while the ripping takes place.

Using DVDRipper Pro is as easy as selecting a ripping mode, then stuffing a DVD into your Mac, and then click Rip. The rest is just waiting.

How to Remove DRM from iTunes M4V Rental and Purchase

There are many times when copying a DVD cannot be avoided in order to prevent the DVD from being scratched or damaged by accident. And it's also necessary to have a backup for important DVDs in case the originals are lost, broken or stolen.

In order to make the most of your time, the following article will show you a few tips to make your DVD copy fast and easy.

Tip 1. Install DVD Copy Software on Your Computer

First, you should buy or download certain DVD copy software or DVD rippers which are compatible with most DVDs. If your DVDs are commercial DVDs which are protected by DVD copy protection, you need to purchase DVD copy software that is capable of CSS decryption. In this case, if you are running Mac OS, you may need Any DVD Cloner, Any DVD Cloner Platinum or Tune4mac DVD Converter Pro.

Tip 2. Purchase Recordable DVD Discs

Yes, before start ripping DVDs, you must purchase some recordable discs to burn the DVD on to. But you should note that some older computers are only compatible with DVD R+ or DVD R-. So it's important to check which types of DVD discs work with your system.

Tip 3. Shrink Large Files with DVD Converter

Now you can begin copying DVD with all of your equipment you get. However, you may deal with some large files which are too large to burn onto DVD. In this case, you have to shrink or compress the large DVD files to MPEG format so as to burn them to recordable discs. So you may try Tune4mac DVD Converter to rip large DVD files to MPEG or MP4, AVI and other formats.

Tip 4. Get Your DVD Movies onto Recordable DVD

After a DVD is ripped, most DVD copy software will ask you to insert a blank disc. Once you insert the recordable DVD, hit the Burn button and your DVD will start recording or burning to the blank disc. This may take a few minutes or hours, depending on the size of the files. Once your video has been burned, you may test it in your DVD or CD player to see whether it works. Any DVD Cloner Platinum for Mac is highly recommended to finish the job for you.
