I was thinking of apps like "DVdxCopy", "Nero recode", etc.
Can someone tell me the advantages of any of them?
I´m not supposed to ask "which one´s best", so i want your opinions from people who have used any "all-in-one" solution.
Thanx!
*EDIT*
I tried DVD2one yesterday (with DVD decrypter) and i liked the result.

i can use even nero recode.
i can use (and i am stick with) Big 3
i can use ifoedit for every need.

I use dvdshrink to rip and encode if necessary.
I use dvd decryptor to burn the iso, or rip if the file is small enough.
I use imgtool classic to make the iso.
Those are all great pieces of software, and work flawlessly for me.
If you want to press one button then go buy xcopy, but I dig the freeware stuff alot more, plus its so much better.

I have used DVD Shrink 3.0 beta 5 without any problems. You can shrink re-author, remove what you want, compress what you want, and remove RCE protecttion. It will also remove macrovision protection also. You can deep scan for better image quality. I have a friend who uses DVD X-Copy express, and in my opinion it's a good program if you want to watch crap all the time. You can't re-author or take anything away. It compresses the movie so much you get SERIOUS macro block problems which destroys movie quality.
DVD Decryptor is another good program besides DVD Shrink. I haven't used it as much. It does have one option that helps sometimes though. Unlike DVD Shrink it has detect mastering errors. Which helps if your original disk has scratches. DVD shrink sometimes has problems with scratched disks.
So in my opinion if you want an all-in-one program, I'd go with DVD shrink. The only thing it won't do is burn to disk.
Well there is my 2 cents.
Hope that helps some

Thanx for all your answears :)
I always use DVD Decrypter for the ripping part. And, as I wrote earlier, i used DVD2ONE with good result yesterday.
I´m gonna try DVD Shrink & InstantCopy as well.

With AutoShrinkISO it will burn an .iso with dvddecrypter. Besides in a couple of days DVDShrink will burn with Nero installed.

"It will burn DVDs?! Ummm, so why I have bought Nero??!!"
It will use Nero to burn.
And yes, it will be free.
