Ok, ive just mastered making backups of my backups, now i need to start dabbling in backing up my original DVDs. What is the best software to use for decrypting, shrinking and removing certain parts of DVDs? Also whats the best for doing epesodic discs, as i heard some are better than others? i want to backup my original DUNE THE MINI SERIES DVD's. Thanks
Well if you want freebies then use DVDFab Decrypter, VoBlanker and DVD Shrink to finalize the movie. But if you want the best programs out there for doing movies then go to the sites below and use AnyDVD, DVD CloneII. You get a 21 day trial period to try them out and they are the best. If you hav any problems just post back here with us and someone will help you. Good luck............ http://www.slysoft.com/en/ http://www.dvdidle.com/ http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm
On the programs suggested by Dogman5 there is no adware. Just as with anything make sure you scan them before you open them like anything else you would downloadfrom the web.
http://filehippo.com is a good central point for finding downloads of all types, I have found almost all of the programs mentioned here in AD. It also has an archive to find previous bug free versions of some programs, (E.G. Nero) This is not a warez site nor a pirate site but a good place to find freeware, shareware, and trial programs. So try some out, kick the tires and purchase the ones that you like.
You can also try this site for guides, sw and FAQ's. It gives much info http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/index.html
If you don't mind paying, the Slysoft combo of AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 is about as simple and as effective as you can get. Give 'em a try for the 21 day free trial and see what you think.
