hi smotown Yes,thats how most of us do it.You need to look at some guides.I also suggest downloading dvd shrink and dvd decrypter(both free) http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/index.html http://www.dvdshrink.info/guides.php good luck jD
Why do you use a hard drive?? Can you use just a dvd rom and burner..? If the hd is the answer. How much space do i need?? thk f yr help..
You should have at least 10 or 15 gbs of free space. If you have AnyDvd or another app like that,you can copy on the fly, although its not recommended. If you dont already know,a dvd is encrypted, to prevent copying,thats why you need a ripper,to rip the vobs off the dvd so it can be encoded, and burned. One of the best free rippers available, is dvd decrypter.Check out bbmayo's site,it tells you, and shows you all you need to know.
