DVDFab does a lot more than just copy it to your hard drive.

You get all the same options as DVD Shrink, but with DVDFab it actually works with new titles.

For me, I want the best quality possible so I choose “Main Movie”, rip out all the extras and menus etc, leave just the main movie with the English 5.1 sound. Doing that most require no compression for a DVD5 disk. Some still need compression, which DVDFab does automatically, but by ripping all the extras it’s usually only a few percent.

It’s quite idiot proof. A couple clicks and walk away. On my really old desktop (1ghz w/512) it takes about 20 minutes to copy a dvd. I know DVDFab Platinum offers a 30 day trial, then you just have to find the crack. I think I’m probably going to just end up buying it since updates come out so often. I’m tired of searching for a new crack all the time.
