You must use DVD Decrypter to copy it on your hard disk.\n\nThen you use DVD Shrink to burn it on a new DVD.\nMost movies are over 4.7Gb, which is why you need DVD Shrink to shrink it to 4.7Gb\n\nIn most cases, you can make a backup copy with DVD Shrink. But you won't get the menu from the original DVD.\n\nWith DVD Decrypter you get the complete copy, minus the top range quality if you have to shrink it. Unless you are prepared to buy some dual layer DVDs so that you don't have to shrink it. But unless you have some hi-tech television, I doubt that you would notice the difference in quality between the original and the shrink one.\n\nBefore shrinking the movie, you get some options to delete things. I usually delete the subtitles and the other languages, just keeping the english one. In doing this, you reduce the size of the movie... Which mean you don't need to shrink as much. The less shrinkage, the better the quality will be.

get RipIt4Me\nhere\nhttp://www.ripit4me.org/\n\nRipIt4Me is a freeware utility that helps you backup your copy protected DVDs.\n\nRecently released DVDs are now very often equipped with stronger copy protections - such as ARccOS™ and RipGuard DVD. Programs like DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter cannot handle these types of discs.\n\nWith the help of RipIt4Me, ripping these DVDs will be a very easy task. The program is fully automated and the wizard will guide you through all the necessary steps involved. If you prefer, there is also a true "1-Click" mode that will perform all the involved steps automatically for you.\n\nunlike AnyDVD, it's free.

You should use Nero to burn the DVD video files that DVD shrink created.\n\nYou can download Nero at the link below.  (version 6.3 or higher recommended, which you can download from oldversion.com)\nhttp://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=nero \n\nserial number for Nero 6.3\nhttp://computer-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/05/nero-63.html \n\nAfter you've downloaded and installed Nero, insert a blank DVD disc, open Nero, and make sure the DVD tab is selected, put your mouse over the video icon, and click on "Burn DVD Video Files"\n\nOn the right hand area, locate the folder where DVD shrink created the files.\n\nSelect all the of the video files and drag them into the Video TS folder on the left hand side.\n\nDon't put anything into the Audio TS folder.\n\nBefore burning the disc, change the burn speed under burn settings to be 1 or 2 speeds lower than the highest listed.\n\nBurn the disc!\n\nGood Luck.

DVD Decrypter is a great program to start with:\n\nDVD Decrypter Software:\nhttp://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_decrypter.cfm\n\nDetailed Instructions:\nhttp://home1.gte.net/eric.groves/pg49.html\n\nSome limitations..  If you have a dual layer dvd and you want to make it fit on a single layer disc (the cheapest media available for this) you might need to use DVD Shrink to compress or remove certain parts of the DVD to fit onto a 4.7gb disc.\n\nDVD Shrink Software:\nhttp://www.dvdr-digest.com/software/dvdshrink.html\n\nHow to use DVD Shrink:\nhttp://www.digital-digest.com/articles/dvdshrink_4_dummies_page1.html\n\nOnce you have ripped the files to your hard drive you simply need to burn them to a blank DVD.  Nero is a great program for burning.  \n\nNero Software:\nhttp://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/index.html\n\nHow to use Nero to burn DVDs:\nhttp://www.videohelp.com/nerodvd.htm\n\nAs always - you should only burn copies of DVDs you own for legal backups.

DVD Shrink is hard to find, but it's free.\n\nYou can rip almost any DVD.\n\nThen use Nero Burning ROM to burn them. Not free.

dvdshrink has worked perfectly for me for years.  You jsut need to have the software that came with your dvd burner to actually put it onto a disk - dvd shrink will convert the files and save them on to your hard drive (unless you have nero, then it will burn it automagically)

Try the guide on http://www.ePodSupport.com .   IF the files are already on your computer, skip Step 2 and downloading DVD Shrink.  If your videos are on DVD, follow all steps.  IF your files are on VHS, you need to go to Radio Shack and buy a digitizer first.

You need to convert them - try http://www.ePodSupport.com .  Skip Step 2 and do not download DVD Shrink if you already have the files.
