RealNetworks released its controversial RealDVD movie ripping application last week but within days removed the program from its Web site due to a legal feud with the Motion Picture Association of America. RealNetworks provided TechNewsWorld with a final prelease version of the RealDVD software last week in consideration of a new product review. The app lets you save a copy of a DVD to your PC’s hard drive. It only works with a DVD, not content saved to a DVR or other digital media devices.

The Motion Picture Association of America has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of Los Angeles seeking a restraining order against RealNetworks. RealDVD, which became available on Tuesday, violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the MPAA maintains. It is hardly surprising that the MPAA would take this stance. Using RealDVD, people can copy DVDs of movies and other content onto their PCs. This type of software is not new — but RealNetworks is the first large company to attempt to legitimize it.
