I recently have started backing up my DVD collection and I was wondering if there was any software that could compress it down so i could keep it on my hard drive and open it later or do I need to buy a bigger drive ????????????? PLEASE HELP

Hi Zany,

You don't want to compress it any more than you would for the actual burning, about 4.36 GB, so you can just use DVD Shrink.
It doesn't take long to fill even a large hard drive with a bunch of movies. I bought an external so I can store a few movies and other stuff. I think I have about 4 or 5 movies on it, They won't be there long though.

The best way to store them though is to just get them onto a disc.

Cheers,
Frank
