Best DVD Backup Software

I'm aiming to backup my DVD collection as I have a load of blank DVD-R and want to secure my library. Which is the best user-friendly software out there? I don't mind paying but free alternatives would be nice too.

I find DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter work well.

DVD Shrink is probably better if the DVD you're backing up is a larger size than the DVD-R you're using.

Good idea, as I've had 3 titles suffer from DVD rot :mad:

backing up dvd's is illegal

Thx for suggestions Guv and sorry to hear that squiffy - that's odd to deteriorate already isn't it?

miller - I thought it was OK to backup any media you owned, providing it remains in the same format. :confused:

iirc its legal to backup dvd's, however its illegal to get round the encryption in the uk. So it is infact illegal for us to backup a dvd.

OK. But backing up unencrypted Region 0 discs would be fine then?

yes it will be

This is legal now! Is DVD Decrypter still the best thing to use?
