Sorry in advance I know this is way offtopic but, if I wanted to backup my DVD movies could I do it with wxripper, by dumping the image to .iso and burning to a blank disc with clone cd?

A simple yes or no will do.

I suppose that would work, but dvd shrink is a really great free program that compresses the dvds and burns them for you. I don't know of a link, but just google it and I'm sure you'd be able to find it real quick.

It is pretty offtopic, lol. I'll move this to the general forums.

I really don't know if WxRipper could do it or not. I'm guessing no.

Like ASoberIrishman32 stated, use DVD Shrink It has automatic re-encoding to shrink the DVD down so that it fits on single layer DVD. For the best quality, remove any audio tracks you will not use (spanish, director's commentaries). If you just want the movie alone, you can't remove the extras without re-authoring the DVD. Instead, what I do is go to the Extras section, select manual percentage and move the slider all the way to the left. This will mean my "Extras" are lower quality, but if you notice, it will bump up your Main Movie quality. Just a few little tweaks to get better quality of the movie.


Also, DVDShrink is no longer in production, so it's decryption of DVD protection is outdated and may not work with some newer releases. Look into AnyDVD. It is a protection decryptor that will remove any CSS/Region/ARccOS/Puppetlock limitations on the disc. It basically reads the movie, removes all the protections, and "emulates" a region-free unprotected disc. This all runs in the background. So, if you pair AnyDVD with DVDShrink, you have the perfect solution. AnyDVD is not free, but there is a 21-day trial and it is updated constantly.
