You do understand that the content of a DVD is already compressed, don't you. That means that any compression done by you will necessarily lower the resolution of your film.
The software is on the PC side, but this affects Mac users too.
The maker, 321 Studios, says that they'll fight it.
Violations often occur when the use is motivated primarily by a desire for commercial gain. The fact that a work is published primarily for private commercial gain weighs against a finding of fair use.
Federal "Fair use" permits consumers' "limited personal, non-commercial use of lawfully obtained copyrighted material without prior consent of the copyright owner."
It's kinda the same thing as recording a TV show to watch again.
