If you don't already have it I suggest you buy Nero 7.
Download the Nero 7 trial (fully functional).

DVD-Shrink is great but some copy-protected discs won`t crack even with it. After the initial read-through it usually takes a normal DVD anything from 5 minutes to 45 minutes to be decoded - burning again depends on disc speed and drive speed choices.You can choose to include subtitles ,extras ,other languages or not at the cracking open stage just by leaving the boxes ticked or unticking them as offered. And as for playback on DVD players - depending on type of disc and player you shouldn`t really have any problems ,I don`t. But remember DVD piracy is a crime LOL.

I can highly recommend you True Image backup software by Acronis. Using this program you can backup not only operating system and important data but also your applications' settings, Outlook files and media library. Besides burning DVDs I'd also recommend you to create a hidden partition on you hard drive and backup your data there too.

I can recommend you Acronis True Image. It can backup your entire PC with only one click. True Image will allow you to store your backups where you want: any HDs, CDs, DVDs, and other devices. Here you can get a free True Image Home 7.0:

Sounds like you might want something like Norton (Sorry, Symantec) Ghost.
This allows you to clone your PC/Laptop into one (or more) file(s) which can then be burnt to DVD/CD.
