Any Mac video experts here? I'm sure there's a Mac equivalent to MakeMKV and DVDDecrypter. You may have to research this yourself (please post the names of what tools you find). The usual forums to search: videohelp, doom9, and digitalfaq.

DVDs use MPEG2 video compression which is lossy. The goal is to have that be the only lossy compression done, thus why you need a tool that can rip and remux (not re-compress).
