Finally, RealNetworks loses its RealDVD case. Yesterday, U.S. District Judge has issued a permanent injunction that bars RealNetworks from selling RealDVD, the DVD-copying software that Hollywood claimed in the Content Scramble System (CSS) license agreement violated and made illegal permanent copies of copy-protected DVDs. Well, I think that’s really bad news for consumers. What that means is that if you want to create a digital back-up of your movies, you have to pay for that a second time on iTunes. So is legal or illegal for personal-use DVD ripping/copying? Give your comments, we’re like to have your opinions.

As we know, a consumer video format used to store digital video on DVD discs called DVD-Video is currently the dominant consumer video format in some regions. DVD video offers high video/audio quality for users, but with a lot of restrictions. First, it requires a DVD drive and a MPEG2 decoder. Second, each DVD-Video disc contains one or more region codes, denoting the area(s) of the world in which distribution and playback are intended. The commercial DVD player specification dictates that a player must only play discs that contain its region code. Third, it is not as convenient as many videos could be directly stored in Mac computer.

AVI, which stands for Audio Video Interleave, is a container format used by Microsoft’s Video for Windows multimedia framework. It is supported in Windows and even some standalone DVD players, and still suitable for certain formats like DV.

That means, Mac users could backup DVDs into their computer and could watch them at anytime very conveniently. If there is a good Mac DVD to AVI converter, the video/audio quality will be almost the same as the original DVD.
