Fairmount: Decode and backup your DVDs on the fly
Fairmount is a Mac software developed by Metakine that allows users to decode and backup DVDs on the fly. It is a free program in the System Tuning & Utilities category.
The problem with DVD decoders is that they either can't handle the encryption of DVD disks or they fill up your hard drive with decrypted data. Fairmount solves these issues by decrypting DVDs directly from the DVD drive as other applications access it. This means that you can instantly access the decrypted DVD from third-party apps. Fairmount is integrated with VLCPlayer, making it a recommended option for decoding DVDs.
In addition to decoding, Fairmount also allows users to backup DVDs by dragging the VIDEO_TS file to a backup drive or onto their hard drive. However, to burn the backup, users will need the developer's DVDRemaster, which comes bundled with the download.
