Good Program for copying movies?

My Science teacher has a mac and wants to know of any good programs that can copy movies to a dvd or to his hard drive.

If you mean FROM a DVD movie to /wherever, then:

If you want to take videos from cameras or websites and put them on a DVD playable on any DVD player plugged into a TV, then iMovie and iDVD should be on the Mac, they work great.

So he can put the dvd in and copy it to the desktop or something and then put a blank dvd in and burn an exact copy?

Oh, hold on you want DVD shrink for Mac OS X. Give me ten minutes. I can't remember what it's called.

Handbrake is for ripping+encoding DVD movies to like AVI files.

Okay, there's also Mac the Ripper:

I can't seem to find something like DVD Shrink or k9copy for Mac OS X. So just rip in full quality or something, and author it with iMovie. You won't keep the menus or anything.

I've posted in another forum, I will probably have a reply in no time.
