Yep the obvious one is get a bigger hd.

If that is not an option, you can try dvdshrink - free download in the downloads section here.

With dvdshrink, you can rip,strip DIRECTLY form the dvd, so if you just want the movie you will only use a max of 4.5Gb of hd space.

I have only used dvdshrink once just to try this out and it worked fine.

I am too in england, read my earlier post a little more closer - there is no mention of smartripper, just dvdshrink.

DVD Shrink will do as baabaa says rip/STRIP direct from DVD which seems to be your only option if your not going to spend out on a new HDD (which is defintely needed if persisting in DVD Authoring really)

Another England person here , Smartripper has given me no real headaches !

If no success w/ previous ripper then try DVD-Decrypter and just choose movie-only options (there's not many DVD's after stripping that exceed 6Gb..although some do , obviously)

All in all , you've been given the right advice in this thread : )-

You're alright kinel , we all gots to learn innit !

DVD Decrypter - Movie-Only:
If it's 6Gb still after stripping your in trouble cos you'd need to compress. Which'd need original 6Gb and of course 4.36Gb extra HDD space.
If it's under 4.36Gb you'd be best off I'd imagine using DVD Shrink cos it'll do it all in one process.
Whereas I'd use DVD2One after ripping movie-only.

Either way bro , I'm thinking you could really use some more HDD space..

If I haven't answered to your liking let me know (hope I've helped some)
