I recall backing up Shaun of The Dead once with AnyDVD running, then making a copy of that first copy without AnyDVD running, and DVDShrink said there was no copy protection. BTW, DVDFabDecrypter has worked everytime for the few copies of copies I've done recently.
@brobear I agree with you on the AnyDVD issue. The copy protection is removed when the back up is burned. That's why DVD copy programs are able to copy the now unprotected disc. Just open the backup disc with decrypter and it will tell you there is no copy protection prersent.
You'll want some good advice about making backups of originals and backup copies get anydvd and clonedvd you won't be disappointed.. I don't even use 321 anymore.. slysoft.com is where too go... pay less than what you would for 321 and have all capabilities..
I don't understand going through using a transcoder to record files that have already been transcoded. It's a waste of time when any recording software will record a copy without protection. DVDCopy4, Shrink, CloneDVD 2 and other transcoders will do the task of transcoding once the user has a "clean" source. For quality though, an encoder can't be beat. That's why I use Rebuilder with Cinema Craft Encoder (RB/CCE). There's a free version with the HC encoder. http://www.dvd-rb.com You can find all you need at that link if interested and there's a section devoted to the software here on AD.
