backup a dvd without a dvd-writer

[killer099]

okey, I will get a dvd-writer a week from now,
and my plan is to rent dvd:s, make a copy of them and return them.
I got my first dvd today, and used smartripper to copy all files from the dvd to the harddrive. Is it just to burn these files then and I will get a working dvd movie?

Or do I need another program to make an image of the movie which I burn?

I´m kind of new to this...

that sounds awfully like piracy mate, and you won't get help around here, unfortunately. that, and you clearly ain't read any of the guides, so seeing as you're not gonna get spoon-fed, you better get reading. :p
