Hey all. I am in need of some new software and am having problems finding something decent.

I am trying to make a digital backup of some workout dvd's I purchased (insanity). I work away from home and want to minimize the amount of stuff I have to haul back and forth. I tried DVD Shrink (freeware) and 123 DVD Copy (free trial) and neither were able to copy. A fatal error occurred right after starting. I don't have a problem paying for the software I just don't want to download a bunch and pay for a bunch of them just to find one that works.

Anyway, what do you all use?

Thanks,
Ben

 

I have a friend that's a videophile and he backs up all of his DVDs/BRs with DVDFab Platinum. They have a free trial program. I've used it on his PC and it's about as straight forward as a program can get. This is one of those "a caveman can do it" kinda things. Seems like the license costs him about 50 bucks the first year and less than 20 afterwards. I think the trial version is for 30 days. You also need to update it after installing it as I remember. It copies everything he throws at it. Take a look:

Clone DVD and Any DVD (both required for copy-protected DVD's).

 

You need a program like DVD 43 to break the security on DVD's to stop coping. I used it for years.

 

you can use dvdfab, you can use dvdfab passkey to break the code then use dvd shrink . depending on which encryption dvd has depends which program i run

 

Thanks all, I used DVDFab and it worked perfectly.

 

That's what I've used for years and just did a full back up/copy of all my purchased movie collection recently. They get scratched up over the years. To be exact, I use only 3 programs when working with DVD's, usually. Depends upon what I'm doing.
DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink (3Two) and Image Burn when need be. Those can be had FREE. However, there has been times when you need to tweak decrypter lol.

Other than that, Acronis True Image (11.0) (Paid for version). Worth Every penny!

 

Those are the best kind!

Beats the hell out of this -
