Help: How to rip DVD on Mac? Is there a DVD ripper for mac that is compatible with the new system?

This method 4 is actually quite interesting. Simply put, it is: use Automator + shell script to make a small tool yourself, which can be used as a DVD ripper for Mac. You don’t need to install any third-party software, and you can rely on the built-in functions of Mac to get it done.

This is how I did it:

1. Open Automator, select "New Document" → "Application" as the type;
2. Enter "Run Shell Script" in the search box and drag it in;
3. Write these lines in the script:

bash
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
dd if=/dev/disk2 of=~/Desktop/DVD备份.iso bs=2048

Note: /dev/disk2 is the number of your DVD drive. Remember to check it with diskutil list and replace it with your own.

Save this Automator application, for example, call it "My DVD Backuper.app";

Every time you insert a DVD in the future, double-click it to automatically start backing up the entire DVD to an ISO file.

I have used this method to make several animation discs myself. It is stable and clean, especially suitable for people who don't want to install anything but need a lightweight DVD ripper for Mac. Although you can't directly select chapters or convert formats like HandBrake, you can do whatever you want with the ISO.

Anyway, it is simple and crude, a must-have for lazy people, a DIY version of DVD ripper for Mac.
