Illegally duplicating/ripping copy protected material is much easier on a PC
than a Mac.
Whether it is worthwhile or not is another question.
Since you have a Mac you are stuck in the twentieth century with DVDs rather
than Blu-ray on your glorified notebook.

Agreed, but it makes some duplicating, burning, and format conversion simple.

To rip any of the various protected discs MTR, RipIt or MDRP are
needed. Even then MTR is not foolproof. RipIt and MDRP perform better.

Handbrake is just too slow and awkward.

actually it's pretty much the same on any platform.

Can I then just import to iDVD and burn a playable disk?
