dvd backup

[rsauvinet]

Wat is the best software to use in order to make an exact duplicate backup of a dvd movie? Thanks

For most commercial DVDs (the major exception being those SONY titles with "ARccOS" copy protection), you can use DVD Decrypter v.3.5.4...

Of course, you'll never make an 'exact backup', unless you burn a double layer DVD (see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=825363#post825363) .
You'll need to DVD9 -> DVD5 (compression and, therefore, quality loss - less loss if you throw away the extras with DVD Shrink in Re-Author mode) or DVD9 -> 2*DVD5 (very difficult, if you want to keep DVD's extras, toghether the main movie).
If you want to burn one, create a MDS with DVD Decrypter (+ AnyDVD if it is needed), so you can tell the DL burner where the layer break is.

Also, see forum rule 12, don't ask "what's best?".

Isn't there also a rule that says something about meaningless subjects?
