First and foremost welcome to AD. I feel you are going to have to get a basic understanding of this on your own through a little trial and error I think. Keep reading those Guides until they make some sense to you, they aren't too difficult to grasp. There are 3 basic things that are involved in backing up a DVD movie and they are: 1. Ripping 2. Compression/Re-Encoding 3. Burning Of course there may be more than that from time to time but that's just a basic rundown. There is a wealth of info on all three of these topics, not only in the guides but also on the forums as well. Try doing a search on "ripping" or "Shrinking" and see what you get, may surprise you. Also a free tip: Stay away from Memorex if you can. Not very good for burning. Go with something like Verbatim, or Ritek/Ridata if you can find them. (Radioshack carries Ridata) Here are a few sites that can also be very informative. http://www.mrbass.org http://www.doom9.org http://dvddecrypter.com Again welcome to AD!
