Hi Guys,
I will be travelling to europe soon and have a portable DVD and a PSP.
I want to watch my Startrek DVD's I got for an early xmas present but obviously space is a premium and I dont want to bring the big bix with me and risk getting them pinched.
I have tried using Mac the ripper but get errors when ripping?
Is it illegal to try and backup my own dvds? Is there a way to get around these "paramound dvd"
securities?
Is it wrong for me to even ask any of this?

You need a nice amount of HD space to do this, but the makers of the Flip4Mac Windows Media to Quicktime converter have a public beta of a program that they're developing:
Flip4Mac Drive-in

take a look on the forums of RipDifferent.com to find out how to get the most recent beta.

depends on the area you're living...
over here in Europe, it is illegal to override copyprotection mechanisms; here in Germany it is even "verboten" to mention (or link to) tools doing so ...
I don't find any restrictions in the ToU of this board, which does not allow to ask for advice .. probably more a "bad kharma" thing .. 
If MTR doesn't work, give a tool called
"Handbrake"
http://handbrake.m0k.org/
a chance - it doesn't "backup"=copy your dvds, but converts them into mp4... (=smaller files) .. good for use on iPods, laptops etc ...
and "usage of MTR": don't forget to play a few secs of the DVD with Apple's dvd-player app BEFORE using MTR ...
