How about I already own it, and want to make a back-up of the video I spent money on?
Always putting your 2 cents in skipper, which is worthless to me. |

To decrypt the movie, I use MactheRipper thats the only program I have found that works so far.
This just extracts the DVD to your HD as the VIDEO_TS files and removes all encrpytions.
I then use Popcorn or Toast to burn the VIDEO_TS files to a DVD.
If you want more help PM me.
and as for PCs, I use some de-encrpyting program called CSS+ or something like that to allow the program to burn.
Then I use AnyDVD software. Works sooooo good. You can delete extras, audio files, previews and screens, or just shrink the video to fit.
I have been using AnyDVD now for a while and never had a problem.

That's the best reason to use it. I currently live at University in my dorm room, and I don't want to lug all 300+ of my DVDs back and forth all the time. I also do lots of travelling. I don't want to bring the original copy w/ me incase I lose it, so its easier just to make a backup copy.
I can make a backup copy in less than 20 minutes, and have the same picture quality. And not to mention the fact that it costs less than $0.20 for each DVD. |

Never used DVD Shrink..but AnyDVD does it all in one program too.
If you "purchase" AnyDVD it comes w/ a de-protection program...
I just use CSS so i can play any region videos and some other stuff. |

dvd shrink is great if video quality isnt your main concern. dvd shrink is quick and does the job sufficiently.
dvd decrypter is perfect when the original source is a dvd5 and video requires no compression. |

+1 on the DVD Decrypt...
I should have bought some DL DVD when Futureshop had them on sale..they were like $0.75 each or something like that. |

Why do you want 2 copies of the same thing? |

I can answer that one for him
- If you want portability issues. I personally reside at two different locations, and its a bitch bringing DVDs back and forth from both houses.
- Another reason, is for backup purposes ;) I'm not going to lie, I have dozens of DVDs that don't work anymore cause of scratches and skips, and this can be fixed by creating a backup to watch or stuff like that. |

Well scratches is really your own fault - you scratch up one, you can scratch up another. Or do you keep burning more backups each time the movie is scratched up?
And the portability thing is a really rare case too - I'm sure not all people who claim to need a DVD burner to back up their DVDs have two houses in which they live. |
