There are a lot of reasons why you want to copy DVD movies on Mac. First, you do not want the hassle of loading and unloading DVDs from the player. You may just like to simply watch it at your own comfort and solace—in your computer or laptop.

You may also like to upload the videos into your portable devices. Because you really cannot copy the entire DVD into your iPhone or iPod, you first need to copy or rip them and then move them to your hard drive.

Third, you want to share your home made DVDs with youe friends and family without really sending the original DVD to them. You can just upload the video file in a video-sharing site and invite them to watch the movie.

If you are looking to copy dvd movies on Mac hard disk, please follow these steps :

1. First of all, you need to download a DVD Ripper For Mac

2. Install the software into your computer. The entire installation process is very short, lasting less than 1 minute.

3. To begin, select if you want to load the DVD or the IFO. The latter is actually a file in your DVD that keeps other pertinent information such as subtitles, chapters, and audio tracks of the movie. Please select that you want to load a DVD.

4. After loading the DVD, please select the output format. As you are using Macintosh, I would advice you to select “Mp4″ format to rip the dvd.

5. Once you have chosen the desired output format, please select the output folder where you want to save ripped files.

6. Now you can click on “Start”. The software will ripping the video from the dvd and show you real time progress.
