Flip4Mac's Drive-In
Drive-in is an innovative application that allows you to store your personal DVD movie library on your Mac. It is now available as a public beta.
Using Drive-in you can create an image of a DVD disc on your laptop or home entertainment system. The image preserves the quality, navigation and special features of the original DVD and can be played using Apple’s DVD Player or Front Row.
Drive-in preserves the DVD’s original content protection. Drive-in allows you to play your images on any computer that you own but does not allow you to share your images with others.
To simplify the way you search and access your videos, we've added some helpful information like the DVD cover art, names of actors, movie description, etc. Once you've stored movies to your hard drive - just browse, select and play!
While you can create DVD images for free using this public beta, you must purchase the final release if you wish to use those images, or create new ones, after the beta testing period has ended. This beta software will expire on May 1, 2007.

I find my own whine shrill but anytime an app asks for my system password I instinctively want to cancel the install. Worse, it Drive-in's case, there is no easily observable uninstaller in the folder. Really a no-no. I assume you are putting crap into my system when you ask for my password and I would like to know I can get rid of all the extras should I need to return my system to an OS-original state.
Next, Flip4Mac's software lacks "report a bug" functionality in their beta software. A bug report usually offers the programer a more defined set of information to help in diagnostics. Tech support webpage, like is implemented in Drive-In, is a black comment box that usually doesn't give the dev enough quality information to see what went wrong.
