I can't afford to keep replacing them and no matter how I try to keep my kids out of my movies, it does not work. My hard drive is only 7GB so I don't want to save them to it unless I have to

It's not a terribly difficult task but you really can't do much with a 7gig drive. The data needs to be ripped off the disc and stored in a temp folder while it's burning. Most dvds are about 7GB themselves now. Usually, I rip out all the extras and the main movie fits on a 4.7G disc but even then you still need a lot more space on your drive.
You'll need a larger drive for sure and a dvd burner. Beyond that, there's all kinds of software out there designed to get around the encryption on the discs and burn a new copy

I understand your frustration. Even when it's for a good cause, it's still not legal unfortunately due to the DMCA legislation that passed in 98.
With that said, I'd look for DVD Decrypter (to get it on the hard drive) and Nero Ultra Edition (to resize/burn it to DVD)! :)
Also at less than $.50 per gigabyte, you should upgrade your hard drive while you're at it. You will want at least 30GB of free space for breathing room when working with DVDs that can take up as much as 8 gigs of space.

i anticipate which you have offered the dvd and not in basic terms copying them, as that should be classed as piracy and a crime! i anticipate which you own the DVD and it rather is for official copies in basic terms, if it rather is so, first you will choose a utiliy to bypass the secure practices. A utlity which you will attempt is DVDshrink or DVDcopy. Sorry, purely examine the "domicile movie" section, i believe that it is the two the DVD author itself (defective hardware), concern with your RAM (no longer sufficient/defective, and so on) or no longer sufficient perplexing disk area. it is all that pops into my head.

It is legal to create backups of dvd's you own. You can download dvdshrink, I use this old version still works fine, BUT, you need nero or roxio for the burning part. Also, you do need a bigger HD, each disc is 4.7 gb or so...
Good Luck!
