DVDs on Mac Hard Drive

[Anand Keathley]

Hi All,

	So, my experience has been that hard drives last longer than the 
lasers in DVD players.  That being the case I thought that it would 
make my DVD player in my Mac last longer to copy my DVDs onto the hard 
drive. But it does not want to do this.  Is it because of copy 
protection?  I'm not trying to make copies, just reduce wear.  Seems to 
me it would be the same as putting your CDs into iTunes. Any 
suggestions?

TIA,
         Anand
