i've never thought about doing it until i obtained a drive capable of doing it! oh well.. do consumers not have the right to back up their dvds?

Technically no because you do have to get around the macrovision/copy protection...

Even if its for making back ups... i mean its not like he can steal from himself? j.w

ya, me too i find that strange, but can't break forum rules! I read once here that when you buy a DVD, you only buy the permission to play it...so sorry, 'legaly' we can't help you

Yes, even for making backups of discs you own. The_Other_One is right. Getting around the copy protection scheme is simply illegal... even for your own discs.
