Answer 2

you need two programs.

1. DVD Decrypter
2. DVD Shrink

both are freeware and are virus free.

Insert the the dvd into your cdrom drive, run dvd decrypter, this will mak a copy of the dvd on your hard drive "C", in the format of audio and video ts. Dont worry about the ts part. Then remove the DVD

Open up DVD Shrink, and open up the folder containing the videots files.

insert a blank dvd into your dvd-rw drive.

click "backup!" in dvd shrink

note, in order to burn the disk, you need nero. I recomend buying it, but you can use a free demo download from nero.com and find a serial number on the internet.

hope this helps!

Answer 3

You need 3 programmes.
1. DVD Decryptor (free off thenet) to rip DVDs
2. DVD Shrink (also free off the net) to make it 4.7gb which is the max u can fit onto a blank DVD at the moment
3. Some burning software like Nero or Roxio....not free.

Perfect copies for me every time. It's a slow process though. Couple of hours for one disc.
