Can anyone point me to a guide for backing up discs that contain more than one episode. Im trying to back up my copy of the simpsons which has several episodes on one disc but Im unsure of the best way of doing it. My writer is DVD-R.

Just use DVD2One v.1.1.1 [or above] in FULL-DISK Mode.

DVDshrink will do it.
Select all episodes and DVDshrink will make all needed files, even compress them if you need to fit them to a single DVD

OK I tried DVD Shrink and I kept getting I/O errors on the final .vob. So what I did was follow the guide provided on doom9.org and selected each episodes vob files and recoded them seperately.

This is the problem bit. Because of this you loose the menus which makes it impossible to select which epsiode you want without going through them all.

Is there anyway of creating a menu that will let you choose which episode you want? I know that ULead DVD Movie Factory will do this but the files need to be in MPEG2 format and not VOB.

Or alternatively is there a quick way of converting a vob to an MPEG2?

Overall though I was quite impressed with DVD Shrink considering its free.

Hello
If all else fails, DVDxCopy will let you backup episode discs. Not the Express version, but version 1.5.2 works great. I have used it to backup Trigun without any problems.

With episode discs I take the lazy way out. Use dvdshrink and just copy only the episodes. Forgettabout the menus.

If you want to keep quality burn like 4 episodes to a disc and split it. Since they're episodic, getting up to change a disc after episode 4 on the disc ends isn't that hard and you'll burn a few calories doing so.

Using dvdshrink to fit 7 or 8 (twenny minute to half hour) episodes on 1 disc will have a definite and noticeable drop in quality.

You can use IC to copy entire dvd with menu on dvd-r (will shrink it to fit). Or if you don't want to shrink it (for better quality) and also want menus. You can use Tmpgenc DVD Author to make each episode an mpeg. Then you can create your own menu for the DVD.
