If you don't mind buying some software, then I would suggest AnyDVD to run in the background. You can then use the rippers and burners of your choice.
ml52303 -- bilbo65 is right--AnyDVD is one of the best programs that I know of--always current and it runs in the background, so any of the DVD copying and/or shrinking programs work with it. They also have a 21 day free trial which I used before I was convinced that it was worth the $$0--I suggest downloading the free trial--Have fun-- Whitfield
