What I used to do:
-Drop in my DVD-9 to be backed up...
-Use DVD Decrypter 2.4 (w/o Burning opt.)...
-----I'd only select the feature presentation to be backed-up, no other stuff.
-Use DVD2AVI to re-encode the decrypted VOBs.
-Use TMPGEnc to re-encode the compressed AVI to MPG2.
-Use ULead DVD Workshop to re-encode the MPG-2 file to VOBs with Video_TS.IFO and Video_TS.BUP.

What I hope to do:
Decrypt a DVD with DVD Decrypter 3.1.4.0,
Create the necessary Video_TS.IFO/BUP files,
Burn the disk to a DVD+R (DVD-5).

I did find IFOEdit, but can't figure it out. Can anyone help??? Thanks.

Your 3-step process sounds good. Except after step 1, you need either REMPEG2 or TMPGenc to create the shrunk .M2V file from the decrypted .VOB set.

IFOEdit094 then has an authoring function. Click on this tab, give it the name of the shrunk .M2V file, the Audio track you decrypted and the result is a complete DVD data set (Your second step)

My 3-step process DOES work!! However it seems to be limited to specific movies.

I was able to do backups of Ice Age, Resident Evil, and MIB-II without needing to re-encode the decrypted VOBs.

Blade-II (7.0GB), and Count of Monte Cristo (6.4GB) are giving me problems because the length/detail of the movies is causing VOBs to exceed 4.4GB. I will need to re-encode these to fit on a DVD.

How I did it:
I went into DVD Decrypter...
Selected ISO mode (not ISO->Read mode)...
The feature is already selected, just enable the streams processing, and select only the Video at 0xE0, and English (commonly 6ch) at 0x80 (or whatever language, re-mapped to 0x80). Be sure all other stuff is unselected (other languages, subs, etc.).
After this is done, you need to create your VIDEO_TS.IFO and VIDEO_TS.BUP to direct your stand-alone to play the selected files...
I used IFOEdit to do this. Doom9.org has a complete tutorial on menu removal using IFOEdit.

There is a MUCH better way than doing all that mess. Use DVD X Copy, hit one button and you're done. Trust me, it will simplify your life if you burn alot of DVD movies.

Not bad... However I do not like to span the DVDs if they exceed the size limitation.

I'm not sure if it has DeCSS capability, plus I'd also prefer to strip the excess audio streams and subtitles. It also requires Autorun to be enabled (yuck!) for it to work properly.

Plus you're supposed to pay for it...
