hypothetically speaking, of course. say there was this dog training DVD that i'd checked out from the library, and my time, including renewal, is up tomorrow but i haven't had the time to finish viewing the dang thing. say i wanted to copy the DVD to my mac so i can finish viewing it as my schedule permits and i would, of course, delete the file once i finish.
hypothetically speaking, how does a user with a Mac Mini accomplish such a task?

Mac the ripper is also a useful tool for this.

Gray,
Another solution is to renew the DVD. I used to work for a library and people could renew non-fiction DVDs as long as nobody else had a hold on it. Your library may offer the same service. 'course, MacTheRipper would allow you to rip it, at least hypotehtically.

It shouldn't. I used v2.6 on standard DVDs and it took perhaps 15-20 minutes to extract it. It was recompression with Toast that took a Blue and White about "Real Time" to recompress (G3/400) vs 12-15 minutes with MacBook 2.2GHz.
The extract time using v2.6 isn't much different on my MacBook than it is on my Pismo/Blue & White.
I've got 3.0vr14x somewhere, I just don't know where. That's supposed to be much faster and capable.
