DVD-5 backup guide
This guide explains how to copy a DVD-5, AKA single layer DVD or a DVD whose size is below 4.7 billion bytes (4.37 GB).
You will need the following software for this guide:
DVD Decrypter
Step 1: Rip the DVD
Most movies are encrypted using the CSS scrambling system. DVD-Rs have a ring containing some pre-recorded content which makes 1:1 copies physically impossible (CSS information would have to be stored at the place of the pre-recorded ring - this is an anti copy measure). DVD+Rs cannot contain CSS encrypted movies either. Thus, we have to first rip the DVD to our harddisk.
Step 2: Burn the DVD
Now that we have everything on our harddisk we can burn it to a DVD±R disc.

DVD5 - This is the most common replicated DVD produced. A DVD5 will hold approx 4.7 GB data or 120 minutes of high quality audio and video. All DVDs contain two substrates that are bonded together. On a DVD5, one substrate contains the data on one layer and the other is a pitless layer without any information. A DVD-R or DLT (digital linear tape) is suitable as a master for replication.
DVD9-Quote:
DVD9 - This DVD format can hold up to 4 hours of audio and video or 8.54 GB of data. It is a dual layer disc. Many films are now produced on DVD-9 because there is more capacity for extra features such as trailers and cast interviews. A DLT is the only acceptable master for this type of DVD.
dvd-dl IS DVD9, there is no quality difference, just DVD9 (DL-DVD)
IS structured differently, has more layers and so can contain more data
i'd use just a normal dvd-r/+r DVD5, dual layer disc's cost more and you wont get many films that take that much time (get a few dl-dvd's so if you get a movie that has over 120 minutes you can burn it to one disc)
as for the conversion DVDSANTA is the best and only way to go;)

oh no man dvdsanta is great, i mean apparently it is a bit behind and the resolution maybe a little less fine, but it's nothing i can see plus
dvdsanta has never given me a headache, i mean how many forums do you see open with people complaining about nero, probably a hundred, dvdsanta probably ZERO!
dvdsanta is slower then convertxtodvd, but let explain

Program's encoding engine is pretty fast and produces good-quality results (of course it can't be compared to multipass encoding with CCE, but the easiness and the speed of the software makes it up)
the quality will never be as good as santa's!
