I have never worked in Leopard and am a total newb when it comes to it.

What file formats should they be burned in? Same on PC?
Use: backing up DVDs: so basically - Rip DVD to Mac using what and in what format?
Yes, using VMware and a Windows Virtual Machine install.EDIT: can she use DVD shrink, DVD decrypter, or AnyDVD on a Mac?
My friend is using Handbrake and the only option for her that I see is .MP4 but she want's to be able to burn it back to a DVD Doesn't it have to be in .VOB file format?
EDIT: can she use DVD shrink, DVD decrypter, or AnyDVD on a Mac?
VOB keeps things faster, otherwise the burning software needs to convert the video pre-burn.
I just heard about RipIt, it is also a pay app, only costs $20 though to Toast's $80. Not positive if it will get you a VOB though.
So, just to be clear, you have DVD Movies, retail purchased ones.
You want, at the very least, a backup disk of these movies.
1: Do you want a hard drive backup?
2: Do you want a smaller file size hard drive copy (eg AVI format)?
3: Do you want full quality DVD backups (No compression, DVD-DLs)?
Answer these if you please. (see that there, I rhymed)
Yes, retail purchased DVDs
The way I personally back-up my DVDs is I use DVD Shrink 3.2, DVD Decrypter, or AnyDVD which will save the file in .VOB format which when re-burned, comes out looking as good as the original DVD. And that is what she is looking for.
One other question. Can Handbrake be used on both a Mac & PC?
Fairmount is free. Works great for me. Simply have the app running and put a disc in the drive then you can copy the contents freely off of it to your HDD and I believe just create a Burn Folder (Right Click on Desktop choose New Burn Folder, place files in there and then click the Burn icon) and go.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong about the Burn Folder of DVD files.
Fairmount should at least get you what DVD Decrypter does for free in OS X.

VOB files, i need vob files
We got that. Have you tried Fairmount? It will let you pull the VOB files right off the DVD. Then, you can take those and burn them straight to disk.
I made a copy of ConAir this morning using FairMount and Burn. I couldn't get burn folders to work, but I may have flipped some setting somewhere to do that.
