Just ordered a DVD writer & was wondering what software to get for making back-ups of my DVDs

Thanks :gabby:

I would go first try dvdshrink, since its free. If that doesnt satisfy you, go with dvd decrypter and instant copy 7.

Thanks m8 .... appreciated

I have started to use dvd x copy (for dvds that will fit on one disc) and dvd x copy xpress for dvds that need to be compressed to fit one disc. They are both very easy to use and provide good results

DVD X COPY does have a number of bugs. Seem to have fixed them with Xpress. The one big advantage you get with using DVD Shrink V2.3, IC7, DVD Decrypter ect. is that you have the option to keep the menu. DVD X COPY Xpress simply records the movie itself and DVD X COPY splits the movie between 2 discs (pretty worthless if you ask me). I only use Xpress for movies that are really huge as it provides excellent quality for those. The rest of the time I use DVD Decrypter (in ISO mode for DVDs that will already fit on a single disc) and DVD Shrink V2.3 and Recordnow Max for Movies that need to be reauthored, ripped, compressed, ect.

With xPress you can keep the menu... That is since v3 you can, well at least the menu and the xtras. Not sure if you can leave extras out or not.
