Im new to the DVD copying procedures, but have tried a few times to no avail.
The disks in question are my personal disks which I want to copy so that I can use them in my RV without risking damaging the originals.

I have downloaded the suggested software (anydvd and clonedvd) but have yet to try them. I have used other software in the past and found that I have problems using them with episodic dvds.

My DVDs are a total of 8 disks which are larger than the standard 4.7GB disks. Each disk contains a menu, 4 episodes plus extras.
Is there anything special I need to do in order to retain the FULL content EXACTLY as it appears on the original?

Hi,

DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter will do what you want. They will back up the full disc, everything on it. The quality will be reduced though because you're most likely going to be squeezing quite a bit of info on to your blank.

There are plenty of guides and threads around here regarding both apps.

Got my problems solved thanks to everyone on this site.
Using DVDDecrypter to rip it and DVDClone to burn.
Minimal quality lost when copying big disks to 1 disk, and its painless. Takes about 2 hours per disk, but its well worth it considering I only have to do it once and I dont have to keep double checking my work.
Now........I get to experiment with DIVX to DVD conversions...... Im sure Ill be posting again soon.
