Good morning, I am new here although I have read many posts before for help on backing up my previously purchased DVDs.
I have always used AnyDVD > DVDShrink > Nero to back up my disks and up until recently, I hadn't had many problems.
However, I want to know if there is a way to make back ups using Windows Vista. My XP computer is very old and slow, and it takes me at least 4 hours to make a copy, sometimes I get errors and have to start over again.
I have read a lot of good things about DVDFab, FixVTS, RipIt4Me, etc., but I don't know exactly which apps are still good and what exactly they do.
What is the best method to back up my own movies using freeware on Windows Vista? Are there any guides in the forum?
Many thanks in advance, EffinNoob

Two additional questions.
Do you think I have enough free space on my HDD (11GB) to backup a movie using these new apps?
As far as I understand, AnyDVD just removes the code and then DVDShrink rips the movie to the HDD and then Nero burns that to the blank disk.
Most likely, I am wrong, but doesn't ripping with AnyDVD, and then running DVDShrink to transcode use twice as much space on my HDD?
And lastly, if DVDShrink transcoded a full movie to my HDD, but the burning failed; can I just burn again those same files? Or do I have to start the whole process again.
Thanks, EffinNoob

yes tis is correct

no it doesn't use twice the space. using the anydvd ripper rips the file to your HDD then you use dvd shrink which is going to transcode the same file anydvd ripped. all dvd shrink is doing is compression the file to 4.7 gig

yes you can start just the burning process only again.burn failures are caused but a few things. using poor blank media use Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim. burn speed, burn at 6x to 8x max. and make sure you have to most up to date firmware for your drive/burner also
