DVD copying software

[Diabolus]

My dog recently got a hold of one of my DVDs and its ruined. I want to start making copies of legitimately purchased DVDs, but some of them are encrypted.

I don't mind purchasing software, I just want something easy to use that provides a high-quality output and can copy all of my DVDs including protected encrypted DVDs.

Anything available?

I use anydvd for my home theatre computer. It removes all the encryption and also has a program in it to make a backup of your dvd's as well.

You do have to pay for it, but it will let you download a free trial of it so you can try it out if you want.

+1 to AnyDVD, also DVDDecrypter + DVDShrink.

Another option is DVDFab HD Decrypter. I have used it a lot and like it. Its free too!!

I recommend DVDFab. You can rip out the excess video and audio streams if you wish, or convert to other media formats such as apple iPhone/iPad.

unless DVDShrink has been updated lately, it has issues w/ newer forms of DRM. i've run into several DVDs that could not be backed up w/ Shrink, but AnyDVD had no problem with them. Shrink can still be used on the rip to compress if needed, after the DRM is gone.

I use a combo of anydvd, clonedvd and DVD shrink... Anydvd is nice as it gets updated constantly to defeat the newer drm stuff out there. Well worth the $$

AnyDVD + CloneDVD

End of story.

I use Auto Rip n Compress for win7 media center with DVDFab HD Decrypter so I can rip my blu-rays also

HandBrake is what you want to use, it is 100% free and is pretty much the standard.

I like Slysoft AnyDVD HD for hardcopy and ISO backups and MakeMKV for storage on my media server.
