Sure it can be done and is not very tough. But do you have the permission
from the MPAA to rip the DVD? The MPAA does not like that idea.

Or are your DVD players region locked? Can you get the permission from the
MPAA to decript your DVD movies?
Perhaps the MPAA allows church services to do such kind of acts. If so, I
will tell you the procedures.

I dont think there is anything wrong with ripping a dvd to a different
format if its for personal use.

that posted a dvd ripper on a site.

I believe a church function would NOT be considered "personal use"!

Actually, threats of legal action caused an outcry in the free software
movement and pushed many people (like me) to start hosting the 'offending'
software on their sites.
