hmm,
just use "DVD Decrypter" or "DVD Fab Decrypter" to remove the protection (both freeware)

then "DVD Shrink" to compress it to a burnable DVD (again freeware)

then something like "Nero" to burn.

tools can be downloaded from here

AnyDVD for removal of copy protection and ripping.
DVD Decrypter can also be used for ripping.
DVD Shrink to remove unwanted parts and for compressing to fit onto DVD±R.
DVD Decrypter or ImgBurn for burning.

why do you guys use additional programs? I just use dvdshrink to create an ISO and burn with nero. What is the benefit of using DVD Decrypter first?

It's better to copy the DVD to your HD first. Most people use DVD Decrypter to do this.

I use DVDRemakePro to remove the extra's and edit the menu, then I use DVD Rebuilder + CCE to encode DVD9 to DVD5. This gives you much better quality then all the other rip programs like DVD Shrink, DVD2ONE etc..

Don't forget to remove non-english audio streams, most 5.1 streams are +400MB.

oh I see. I do rip them to my HD first using dvdshrink. I never noticed any loss of quality, but maybe I'll look into these other programs to test them out.
