I'm not 100% sure, but if you have windows 98 and newer I think its possible. When you load in the DVD a window pops up thats gives you options to either select the program you want to run it with, ignore, copy, save, and others (not word for word). Atlest it does that with mine..... although I only know how to copy/save/burn CDs. So, select the option to play said DVD through the Windows Media Player. Once again I'm not sure, but I think once something is played on Windows Media Player it either automatically saves it to the 'Media Library'...or there is the option to save it. About 3 months before the Simpsons DVD came out one of my buddies burned me a copy. I wasn't a bootleg, it had a menu screen and chapters selections like normal DVDs. I loaded it, chose to play it through WMP, and now its saved on my computer. So I think its possible.
