How to back up Your DVDs and rip your DVD collection to your Hard Drive!

1) Remove Region Protection...
Install this program first... it will remove the copy protection and macrovision while you decrypt... (and will also allow you to watch region protected discs in the future)...
http://www.dvd43.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD43

2) To make a backup of a DVD to another DVD...
DVD Decrypter can rip the DVD to your hard drive or make an ISO image...
http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/
(Note: DVD Decrypter removes the CSS encryption on the DVD)
If DVDDecrypter has problems with a newer DVD install DVD43 (above).
If you have ripped the DVD files to your hard drive, you can then use DVD shrink to make the image smaller and turn it into an ISO file that I can fit onto one DVD... Note: you have to select ISO image as the target file from the drop down menu.

Once you have the ISO image you can use this program to burn it back to a DVD...

3) To Rip a DVD to an AVI or DivX (XviD) file...
The free version of this program Fair Use Wizard can rip any DVD to a 700 Mb AVI (XVid) File... with just one click...
http://www.fairusewizard.com/
but.... I find I get a much better quality rip, when I follow these steps...
i) Use DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD to your Hard Drive.
ii) Use DVD Shrink to make an ISO image of the DVD, but turn the compression off completely, in other words, the ISO image will be an exact image of the DVD. Also enable the two extra read options in DVD Shrink to get a better quality image, it is slower, but it pays off. Put that image on a different drive to the one you are going to rip to.
iii) Now use Fair Use Wizard to rip from that unencrypted image in your hard disk. You will get a very high quality rip with no artifacts and no "streaking".
Compare that to a rip straight from the DVD and you will see what I mean. Of course the quality of your DVD drive and speed of your processor is also a factor. 3.0 Ghz strongly recommended!
Here is a guide for Fair Use Wizard... if you need one...

There's no way to reduce size from 8GB to 700MB without sacrificing quality.
 
Actually with DVD to .avi you get pretty good quality.

As for BD Rips, you will get loss of quality. Use a 1GB+ file size and maybe you wont notice the difference. 2GB+ are most common files sizes for BD Rips.
 
Why would you want to get an HD file and compress it to 700MB - why don't you rather just get the 700MB file? If space is a problem, 1TB HDD's are really cheap these days...:p
 
or use dvd shrink (for new copy protection use ripit4me as well) keep the movie in DVD format but you can reduce an 8gig movie to fit into a 4 gig dvd , it keeps the qulity pretty decent, but dont compress it too much it will Fit up, you also have the option to remove the extra features and the extra languages so you can save space there.
its very easy to use as well
 
i would still like to keep SOME quality. i know ur not going to get a 700mb HD movie... honestly guys...
