Why discuss legality - you are allowed to discuss it here.  And it is 
legal to make personal copies in the US and Canada and many other 
countries.

I see software being sold at Future Shop and Staples for burning CDR 
copies of your DVDs and am seeking a solution for OSX.  In OS9 the 
program "Forty-Two" works and once you find it you will find other bits 
but it is kind of hodge-podge - using 2 or 3 programs to rip, change 
format and burn.  There must be a less cumbersome method in OSX by now.

And I do mean for my legally owned DVDs for my own personal use in a 
country where it is legal.  I have had to replace a DVD due to 
corruption - it was shaky when I played it the first time but OK, 6 
months later it was a picture full of swimming squares - anyone want to 
buy my messed up DVD.  Had to buy another.
