Back up DVD

[rustyrail]

Anyone know how to back up a Disney movie? I have several and afraid my grandson (2yrs old) is going to distroy them as he has others. Any help will be appreciated.

if movie is on a dvd,,first must have a dvd burner,,,,then burnable dvd media,,,then a burning program like nero,,then a program like dvdshrink..
http://www.dvdshrink.info/index.php...get it here and read the guides....tear out hair,,post,,search,,read forums and replies and learn..
first go to the guides from the shrink link and read them all for the easiest way to start..good luck..am sure others will reply with thier opinions also worth listening to,,prob more than mine..
good luck..

Disney movies are the hardest but do able. On this fourm is a section for DVDShrink, it's a free program that has many people willing to help, as well as links to free rippers, burning engines, and most important "user guides". Like ronco stated we asume your trying to back up org. dvd's on a computer so you will need a dvd burner in your computer. Before you go out and buy whatever your local store is pushing today go to the DVD Shrink fourm and spend sometime reading and ask a few questions yourself. I have yet to find a dvd that could not be copied and I too have grandbabies that go through dvds like candy.

To rustyrail:

I would strongly suggest that you "Rip" the movie(s) to your HD first with a program such as "DVD Decrypter" or "SmartRipper". Then use DVD Shrink to open the files from the hard drive in order to compress-if needed-to fit onto one DVD (r, rw) disk.

something you may wish to do to start with is look up your player in www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers for what brands of media will work in your player. You can use the site also for looking up compatibility with any prospective burner you're considering.

DVD Back up

I have: CloneDVD Version 2.3, DVD Decryptor V 3.2.0, Any DVD V 3.3.2.1, DVD X Copy Platinum for copy/rippers. Computer P4, 512mb, Win Home, 80 mb HD. I can copy anything if I can rip it. Tried DVD Shrink but wouldn't rip either. I need a program or tested method that works.

when you say they wont "rip"do you meen you cant get them to the hard drive or cant make a copy that will play in your set top player.?..can you play the "rip" in puter in like "power dvd ".?

have you tried more than one disney movie.?

if you are new at this the shrink program and guides are the best
for beginners...
if you have "ripped" and backed up many movies with no problems ,and only having probs with disney,,or with just one disney,,,clean the dvd..look at it and see if it is scratch free,,,

have you tried DVD Decrypter with 'all files' set in options/startup?
Do you have a DVD-ROM and burner? Ifso, have you tried ripping in each?
