I want to back up all my DVDs to my hard drive. I want menus and all the other stuff (not just the movie only). But instead of having the DVD broken up into multiple VOB files like some decrypters do, I want to have the DVD (and all the features) in just one file. Like one AVI, MOV or some other kind of file. Not multiple VOB files

here's the thing. I have way too many DVDs lying around and they are taking up way too much space in my house. I want to keep these DVDs on my hard drive (computer) ONLY. I am not intending on burning them back on to any DVDs in the future.

I dont want to loose quality or anything else like that. I basically want to watch a movie on my computer from my hard drive the same way I do from disk (menus and all).

Can DVD Shrink do this? If not, what program do I need. The DVDs are not copyright protected. They are my DVDs. I just have way too many lying around.

Thanks guys.

Hi,

and yes dvd shrink can do it all for you as long as your hard drive is formatted to NTFS.

I think you would need to have DVD Shrink save the movie as an image file (.iso) - then a decent media player like VLC can play it back complete with menus.
