Agreed, but it makes some duplicating, burning, and format conversion simple.

To rip any of the various protected discs MTR, RipIt or MDRP are
needed. Even then MTR is not foolproof. RipIt and MDRP perform better.

Handbrake is just too slow and awkward.

After using MDRP can I then import to iDVD and burn a copy?

duno about idvd, but anything that can read a video_ts folder or the
..mov/.avi/.mpg if you also encode it will be able to burn it.

iDVD is a DVD production program for the production of your own
material, or sourced from iMovie which is video editing software.

Without software such as Toast which simplifies burning all types of
DVD.s CD's etc. the easiest way to burn a copy of the extracted
VIDEO_TS folder is the following;

1: locate the VIDEO_TS folder you have extracted (ripped). If it is
contained in a folder with the actual title of the ripped DVD/CD that
is the folder to work with.

2: In the Finder, highlight the target folder. If you do not have the
"burn" button on the Finder tool bar, go to menu - File - Burn "Title
of Folder" to disc.

3: You will be cued to insert a DVD of sufficient size to match the
size of the VIDEO_TS folder. Continue and burn your copy.

NOTE: if you do not have a double layer DVD-R for large (bigger than
4.7GB) VIDEO_TS folders, you will need a program such as Toast to allow
you to compress the folder to fit on a standard 4.7GB DVD-R. Otherwise
you will be able to burn copies with what you have in the OS.

Whether it is worthwhile or not is another question.
Since you have a Mac you are stuck in the twentieth century with DVDs rather
than Blu-ray on your glorified notebook.

If I needed to run something under Windows I could just boot my Mac
into Windows rather than MacOS.

....and therein lies the beauty of the Mac. If you need Windows (I have
yet to need Windows for anything at home)
Just boot into Windows with a Bootcamp partition. No need to even buy
an emulator or VMWare, unless you need to run two or three OS together.

When I bought my Intel MacBook Pro I bought an OEM version of Windows
XP Professional SP2, thinking I might use it for all that stuff I am
missing. It remains uninstalled as the need has never arisen.
Regardless of what some might think, there is software built to work
with OSX that just does the job elegantly.
