Not sure what you're asking Tommy, but if you're looking to transfer DVD files to your hard drive, try dvd decryptor or DVD shrink. If you're looking to encode the DVD files to a portable ~1 gig file, try DivX or XviD.

I use MacTheRipper and it's free. The evil Macrovison people keep on shutting down their site but I see the download page is now going to a board where you can download it from.

Also if you want a commercial solution that will also shrink down a DVD movie to something that will fit on a DVD that you can burn Popcorn does this as well.
