Can you list the necessary tools?

[compiler]

Having heard about the DVD Decrypter, Shrink, PowerDVD, and VOB blanker etc, do you think how many minimum software/tools on earth are necessary to successfully copy a DVD movie including handling with the potential problems such as the error message, copy dual layer DVD into one single disc, removing copy protection, regional free and so on?

All I can say is this. It's clear you have no experience in backing up a DVD or else you would not post such a general question. "Having Heard". One tool is necessary "DVD Shrink". In rare cases "DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink". So what's your real question? (1400 Burns and No errors)

DVDShrink will do everything but burn, DVDdecrypter can do that though. Don't think you need anything else unless you want to do more than just backing up.

As I have learned recently...to copy a DVD you only need Decrypter and Shrink. I use others but you stated "minimum software"
It was a treat to me to learn that if necessary I could do it with freeware.
Rip (file mode) with Decrypter...Open file with Shrink...reauthor, make selections...Once you select Backup, in preferences drop down tab select ISO and burn with Decrypter...encode.
Once Shrink is through Decrypter is auto opened with the file ready to burn.
I found this guide that explains it all.

Thanks to Videohelp for supplying this helpful tutorial. If any of my other programs crash or whatever this was good for me (still newbie) to learn.
Hope it helps a little.

PS: error correction is always appreciated.

edit: ZippyP, your post hit while I was typing. Thanks for the conformation!

The real problem is both of DVD Decrypter and Shrink may be insufficient because of the potential problems; otherwise, other people may be unnecessary to mention such as PowerDVD, and VOB blanker and so on. So, what other software/tools may be necessary to get? Your millions of experience may help you to provide the answer, right?

compiler,

try what jdizzy40, ZippyP and NiteLite suggested and if later you have a problem you can't fix post back.

[Sifaga]

as well as the above mentioned software i would probably include a PC of some sought and half a brain

DVDDecrypter and DVDShrink have been able to handle everything I've thrown at them so far, but I still keep smartripper, VOBBlanker and IFOEdit handy for those custom jobs that need doing. Much like codecs, just download what you need, when you need it

[compiler]

Repeat. For the best DVD backup and minimizing the potential problems, you need the basic tools DVDDecrypter and DVDShrink plus the smartripper, VOBBlanker and IFOEdit in handy. If you all agree, that’s it; otherwise, please add more necessary tools.

However, learn understanding may be your next course from the evening school unless all people do not agree.

It sounds like he might be using some language translation software. I hope he didn't pay for it because it isn't doing that good of a job. That being said, he does get his point across though

ROA!

[MackemX]

seeing as this looks like a freeware route what about PGCEdit?

if price isn't an object then I would also have ANYDVD & DVDRemake

@jimmalenko, you say download it when you need it which is a good suggestion but, :P how many times have you downloaded something for the fun of it and found it's got a useful feature you never even knew existed

@compiler, chill dude, just because jimmalenko never added any tools, it doesn't mean he can't have a say (which had nothing wrong with it) 8)

p.s. the end!

I can already foresee this one getting ugly.
