Ok first off wanted to say that I did read bbmayos Newbies read first thing.It did come in handy. But my problem is that There are so many programs out there and I dunno which is the best and which works with the other, On my old computer I was using Dvdshrink and dvd43 But as I read on thru the forums people said that dvd42 wasn't any good. As I have noticed in the past it doesn't get all movies. I like dvdshrink because I can take all the previews off. I have also tried anydvd and dvd decryptor but didn't know how to work it. Gosh I feel like a dumb ass. But please help.Thanks so much.
This is the best Free way to back up your DVD's. Many users here prefer AnyDVD/CloneDVD (http://www.slysoft.com/en/), as there are fewer steps involved in making a copy. There is an upfront cost involved, but there is lifetime support and the software is updated regularly. Personally, I don't mind the extra effort and would rather use the free tools.
There is also a relatively new free option called Shrinkto5 (http://www.shrinkto5.com/software1.asp). I have looked at it, and while it may be a better solution, I prefer my way. If you choose to go this route, you will also have to install machinist2.dll (http://www.sendmefile.com/00377470)

You will still need to rip the dvd to your hdd and for the best freeware ripper I recommend dvdfab decrypter. I prefer AnyDVD rip to hdd feature but it is not freeware. For editing and removing garbage, I recommend vobblanker. I prefer dvdremake but again it is not freeware. You of course will need a burning utility. Almost every computer or dvdrw drive comes with Nero oem or similiar.
OK, waynekusa is right. AnyDVD/CloneDVD work good together but like he said, if you don't mind paying for AnyDVD software I think is your best bet. Besides AnyDVD the ONLY other tools you need is DVDShrink and you already have that, so here it is
