Backing up a DVD

[Northy]

I'm in need of backing up a few DVD's that I legally own obviously, but am not sure how to do it these days.

What software is available that:

A) doesn't require 4 pieces of other software to get to the finished article
B) works
C) doesn't take a age

Ta,

I need one that will put it to Ipod Touch format, will DVD shrink do that?

Ive done it before, but it was freeware on a time trial, and required secondary software, took an age, overly complicated.

dont think so chris it just shrinks and dvd to 4.5gb and ether saves to hd or back up to disk. i know the latest version of nero can do that,

Nero.... anyone got a copy I can borrow?
Oh its free to download!

Edit, oh I need the bought version for what I want to do..... anyone got a disc I can borrow?

Chris,

Have a look at Handbrake for Windows/Mac...its ace.

Puts it into iPod format for you straight from the DVD. Doesnt do menu's or ought, but means you can import straight into iTunes.

There's a free converter called Super that will.

i thought DVD shrink wouldn't crack the decryption on disks, mearly compressed them?
I always used it in conjunction with DVDdecrypter

[bigred5765]

not all disks are encoded, but if they are yeah dvd decryptor will do that,
