handbrake software will rip the film to your mac (or PC for that matter). It won't remove any copy protection though.

Handbrake works - try playing the video in VLC, or try a different compression method.

I personally wouldn't touch a Mac but it's what the OP was asking about.

Rip the film using handbrake while you have a copy of VLC in your Applications folder. Handbrake will use VLC's decryption libraries to remove the encoding and save it as an mp4 file. This file is readable by QuickTime/VLC etc.
