DVD 'backups'
Just bought a DVD burner, and already had a DVD drive, what is the easiest software to use to make backups of my favorite films?

You can use the software that came with the drive to copy it back once the copyright is cracked.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I second dvdshrink 
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Is it a dual layer drive? if so what make?
I only ask as I have just succesfully 'flashed' a sony DVD single layer writer with the bios for a Liteon Dual layer... hey presto one
free upgrade to dual layer.
I know it sounds like crap but do a quick search - Liteon make the sony drives but load an inferior bios
Anyway the point is that you can retain the disk capacity of the original so you don't need to 'shrink' it

Dave the problem is you cant just copy a lot of DVD's (allegedy). They are all encrypted.
DVD shrink lets you decrypt it and shrink it by however much you like from 0% upto about 70%. It also makes he dvd region free...

Never tried dvd shrink have to give it a go.I use any dvd and clone dvd if you want a copy Mark u2u me your email address and I'll email em over
tonight.
No need for ripping or owt else bung your dvd in, bung in a blank press copy,job done.Any DVD deregions it and strips the encryption,clone does the
copying.
Cheers,
Bob

Have you looked at the cost of branded dual layer media?
forget buying a blank DL and backing up your original - just add a couple of quid and buy another original!
The price will (has) dropped but it aint come down enough yet to make it an option imho.

I agree I bought a lite on dual layer burner but the cost of the blanks is a joke.
