Removing encryption/region coding without source DVD

[blueserge]

I use a Mac (OSX 10.4.5) and something called Mac the Ripper to rip DVDs, remove CSS encryption, de-Macrovision, etc. (I also use DVD2oneX if needed and Toast). Mac the Ripper works beautifully but requires the source DVD to be in the drive in order to extract.

A while back I had a couple of DVDs whose contents were copied to my hard drive without removing any copy-protection. As a result I can't view them or burn them. I no longer have the actual DVDs so the software I have is useless.

Can anyone recommend something I can use to decrypt these files so I can burn them and get them off my drive? Again it needs to be Mac compatible. Thanks.

If you don't have the original DVD, all your should be considered with, is how to remove the copies from your HDD. (or anywhere else)
