Rip w/ Decrypter -> run it through Shrink (create an ISO) -> burn w/ Decrypter (Decrypter will only burn ISOs)
This is what I use.
Always rip w/ DVD Decrypter -> run it through Recode 2 (comes in Nero and is my current DVD Backup program of choice), or CloneDVD2, or DVD Shrink, or DVD Rebuilder -> create a Video_TS folder -> burn w/ CopyToDVD (has a really good burning engine) or Nero.
