MacTheRipper
MacTheRipper 2.6.6 is the real free DVD ripping software that works on Mac and copy DVDs easily. If you're still running Snow Leopard, you should definitely get it. No need to try any other DVD ripper for Mac. However, it doesn't works on Mac OS X newer than Snow Leopard. MacTheRipper 4 is the current version, but it has changed to "payware". I don't call it shareware because you can't it, you pay it and get a regsitration code.
Pavtube BDMagic for Mac
Pavtube BDMagic for Mac 4.8.6.6 is a remarkable DVD Ripper program specially developed for commercial DVD disc collectors.

With the program, you can either make a digital format conversion from DVD disc, Video_TS folder and IFO/ISO image file but also a full disc copy or main movie copy of DVD movies. The beneficial video customization and editing function do you a great favor to get your desired file formats.
