Backing Up DVD's
Anybody know which product (Free or otherwise) is good for backing up my DVD's?
Im looking for something that can compress as well, but thats only if i start running out of disk space.
Thanks..

Re: Backing Up DVD's
Is it good? Have you used it? Are there any better?

Re: Backing Up DVD's
DVDshrink is brilliant....
SOME dvd's are more heavily protected however.
On occasion I've also used dvddecrypter http://www.dvddecrypter.com/
And put the output of THAT into dvd shrink.

The best things to use (and I've tried pretty much everything) are:
DVD Decrypter for ripping the DVD - http://www.dvddecrypter.com/
DVD2ONE for compressing the DVD to fit on a normal DVDR - http://www.dvd2one.com/
Nero for burning
Takes me approximately 20 mins from start to finish to rip/compress and burn a DVD including ALL content.

Re: Backing Up DVD's
On the subject of this is there a good simple program to compress dvd's (or divz,xvid...) to PDA size ie 1-200 meg. Havge tried a few with poor results.

DVD2ONE will let you specify the target filesize.

I've not noticed any picture degradation whatsoever on any DVD, even with all the menu's, features and soundtracks (AC3 etc)

Yeah, use what I recommended, first DVD Decrypter to rip the movie (and the protection out), then DVD2ONE to compress it.

Re: Backing Up DVD's
While im here, i have a home movie in Div-X format - (Please no jokes the wife gets edgy  ), if i wanted to convert that to DVD - any suggestions?
And if i got a DVD-RW or +RW disc, would that allow me to burn on that DVD, then watch it on my player, then wipe it and remaster a new one on the same disk?
Cos eh - that would be sweet.
