Many of our members agree that the combination of DVD Decryptor, DVD Shrink and a regular DVD burning program such as Nero Burning ROM or Roxio EasyCD/DVD is hard to beat. There are two tutorials available to help you get started. One covers transferring larger DVDs to a single DVD and the other shows how to transfer all the files from the original to an archive copy without losing anything when the source is small. While these examples use Nero, you can substitute any DVD burning program you prefer at that point.
Large/Long movies to a single DVD transfer
Single Layer DVD to a single DVD copy
20-Nov-2004: Those pages use older versions of the software mentioned. There is a .pdf document (2.4MB download) that I've prepared that uses more recent versions of these software packages and may be more helpful:

09-June-2005: With DVD Decrypter having received and adhered to a Cease and Desist order instigated by SOme compaNY, the availability of DVD Decrypter is now in question. In the event that you cannot locate an archived copy for download somewhere, it is possible to perform the RIP operation with DVD Shrink also - however some DVDs protected by SOme compaNY's newer encryption methods may not be RIP-able with it.
