You might be able to get more information at a MAC-specific forum as to how to accomplish this directly (going from DVD directly to .MOV format). However, if you look at the many excellent tutorials and obtain the readily available required software of your choice from:

you'll be able to convert the DVD into either MPEG or .AVI format. You can then use QuickTime Profesional (PC version) to convert to .MOV.
