    Rip with DVDDecrypter and use DVD Shrink to encode and burn with favorite app. I have done several episodal disks this way. I have also used CloneDVD2 to burn because you can split up the episodes to two disks and preserve the menus on both disks, which you can't do with Shrink. There is a free trial of 21 days. Also guide for this

    If you backup the whole disk with DVD Shrink you can keep your menu, if you re-author you cannot. With CloneDVD2 you can split the episodes over two disks and still keep menus on both disks. I prefer doing this because of there is less compression.

    Thanks, i've downloaded DVD shrink, and it looks to be a very valuble tool... Thanks for this, its easier than any other copying method i've seen for a lot of things. :)

    Hope it works out for you. There are guides in my sig by bbmayo and Scuba Pete these will help you. You can get by with just using DVD Shrink to rip, however if you run into a problem with Shrink use DVD Decrypter to rip to your hardrive and then DVD Shrink to compress/encode to fit your 4.7 disk. Good Luck :~)
