I love that website.

I use DVD shrink for ripping, and it works very well. You can find it here....

For ripping, I use DVD Decrypter, but I thought last I had heard, the developer was abandoning it because of threats from corporate balloon knots. It didn't happen very often, but there were certain copy protections that Shrink couldn't manage and it would error out. DVD Decrypter has never failed me.

Another tool you might be interested in (not free, but not expensive, either) is DVD Remake. Once you have a DVD ripped (IFO, BUP and VOB files), you can use Remake to specify what bits you want to keep while still keeping all the menus and what-not. It keeps all the files, but replaces the videos/menus you don't want with blank ones.

For my totally legal backing up of the DVDs I own, I find DVD Shrink to be the best program to use.

I use DVD Decrypter with DVD Shrink. If a DVD is encrypted, I use Decrypter, then burn the decrypted files with Shrink.

Fair warning, DVD shrink is rather poor quality wise whenever you need to compress a DVD file. The other programs and methods are likely detailed on the site.

Yeah, if I can't get a DVD to 80% or better after Remake, I don't bother.

It's not that bad. Just reauthor.

What? I'm talking about DVD shrinks method of compression being overly pixelated and blocky. The way to avoid that is to use a program that compresses with CCE or just go Dual Layer.

Except dual layer is prohibitively expensive. Unless that's changed since I checked last. Is the media still rediculously overpriced?

[billdo75]

Well, in some places, it's dropped to ~$15 for a 3-pack ($22/3 last year when I bought some). So...yeah.

There are consistent Dual-Layer blank media sales that equate to $2/disc nowadays. I mainly stick with the Verbatim Dual Layer blank media. Most bulk deals are 10 for $20 nowadays.
