Bottom line:
Retail versions (non-freeware) of the software
you describe were available for a short time. The
producers were quickly hauled into court and were
forced to withdraw it. Any DVD copy solution you
will find will, by its very nature, be a volunteer effort
by an individual or group with nothing to lose should
they wind up in the crosshairs. It will likely NEVER come
in a box at a store, from some manufacturer you recognize,
because, at this particular instant in the evolution of
fair-use rules, what you are proposing to do has been
labeled as an infringement of copyright law, at least in the US.
We all hope that that will change, but it will take time.
So, either get over your fears or go buy the DVD.
Educate yourself here:
