What do you guys use to back up DVD's?
 

Before this turns into a "piss off FMB thread" let me make perfectly clear that I'm looking to back up DVD movies to my HD. Period.

I'm only making copies if I lose my original disk.

With that said, what software do you guys use?

I tried DVD Shrink, but kept getting copy protection errors. I thought the whole concept of that software was to disable the copy protection so you could back up to your HD.

Any suggestions?

DVD Decrypter and DVD 2-1 work as a good combo for single layer discs.

I'm using DVD Fab to copy American Gangster as we speak, see how it turns out.

I'm missing something.....

It copied into 2 files. Audio TS and Video TS.

None of them are valid file extensions.

WTF?

Those are the folders that are actually on a dvd. You need to burn the contents of the VIDEO_TS folder with a program like Nero. You may be able to do it with the program you ripped it with.

I use DVD Rebuilder along with Cinema Craft Encoder to shrink my dvd's, then burn with Nero. CCE is a video re-encoder instead of a transcoder like dvd shrink, dvd fab, dvd 2-1, clonedvd, etc. thus giving a lot better picture quality. It takes a lot longer but if you care about picture quality its well worth it.
