Is there a way to save DVDs to the computer?

Wooo!
I got it to work...its not as pretty as it is on a PC...but it defiantly works!
I can do a few things now.. I can rip it with Handbrake or MactheRipper, or pull it straight off the DVD onto my desktop and convert it with iSquint... I love this computer! So easy to use! I just need more ram. I can also adjust the file size, which was only a dream with my PC. I can also play it straight off the DVD with VLC.

I can pull images off by going to the DVD icon > DICM and I can pull movies off by going to VIDEO_TS (not VIDEO_DS) Movies will show up as VLC icons.
I even discovered a cool little thing, if you have several thousand pictures on the same mini disc in the camera, you can Finalize the DVD and everything gets stuck as a single file. Not very useful, to have a movie plus every image on the DVD right? Well, if you use iSquint, you can make cartoons and still movies..which is very cool on an iPod.

is there a way to take a movie file and break it down into individual pictures? I know iMovie can take stills one by one but I would like a program that just breaks the entire thing into Jpegs. I would put them on my Ipod nano to play "video"

Hi, I've finally managed to transfer video from my Sony Handycam DCR-PC105E to my Macbook pro. I bought a DV/firewire lead from the Sony shop for £20. You have to put the video camera into VCR mode then go into the menus and turn the DV in/out to ON. The video hopefully, should appear in the imovie window and import from there.
I've spent ages trawling through forums for drivers for the camera when they are not needed. Hopefully this will work for other Sony camera users with Mac? Good luck.
