Perfect DVD Movie Copying

What you will need:

• DVDFab HD Decrypter available from http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm

• DVD Shrink available from http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm

• DVD Decrypter available from http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/

• All the above programs are free.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. RIP the entire DVD to your hard drive with DVDFab HD Decrypter. (Alternatively, you can use DVD Decrypter to RIP the DVD instead of DVDFab HD Decrypter, but I like to use DVDFab because it is updated frequently to handle new copy protections.)

   

2. Convert the entire DVD folder on your hard drive or just the main movie (depending on size) to an ISO file using DVD Shrink. If you copy only the main movie, the DVD will play automatically without any annoying copyright notices or previews! This is a nice benefit.

   

   (You can delete the folder created in step 1 now)

3. Burn the ISO file using Nero or DVD Decrypter. There is an option in DVD Shrink to convert to an ISO, then automatically burn using DVD Decrypter. I have used this and it works fine. However, I usually use Nero. Although my DVD burner will burn up to 8X, I never burn at more than 2X to insure perfect copies. I never run anything else when I am burning a DVD and I also turn on the Verify-After-Copy option. This is slow, but do you want perfect copies or plastic coasters? I have copied hundreds of DVDs this way.

4. Enjoy.
