| Copying a DVD is much easier than using screen-capture tools. There are plenty of free ones, too (and the decent screen capture tools all cost money, anyway). With screen capture tools, you cannot reproduce the frame rate perfectly, and it requires a lot of CPU power, so unless you have a fast system you probably couldn't do it without having the video skip frames. Also, you can't rip the stream directly, you have to convert it (causing quality loss). With DVDs, all it takes is a few clicks to get a perfect copy. You can convert it if you want, but you don't need to.
Apple didn't miss anything here. This is much better for the studios than DVDs. |
