I want to buy an easy to use dvd movie copier program

[pandabear5236]

My oldest son has quite an extensive dvd collection and my youngest borrows them and they always end up scratched or broke. I have been making back up copies of both of their dvds. I like one step easy things. I have used ideal dvd copy and Magic DVD copier. They both worked well. I believe they took out the security, then shrunk and copied them. Now I am using dvd cloner iv and it works about the same, but I've had some get errors on them. My husband gave me a note at Christmas that I could buy the one I wanted, which at the time was ideal dvdcopy. Once I researched it, it looks like a fairly new program and hasn't had many updates. I could use some advice. I have searched the net and I've searched your forums. It looks like most do it in several steps. Is there a one click solution that is reliable over the long run? I do know that I couldn't do Taladaga nights, or however you spell it. Thanks in advance for any help.

There are many tools which will do the job:

DVDFab may be one of better choices.
Or AnyDVD (removes copy protection) combined with those DVD copy tools which you have already.

Thank you Jeremiah58. Will DVDFab do it all? Shrink and everything? Do they update often? I see it is on sale today.

ripit4me may also be necessary. It is an alternative to dvdfab if you can't get fab to read the disc.

FYI there is a free version of dvdfab and I belive ripit4me is free as well.

You can download a trial version and try it out. See if it suits you.
It is often updated and it will do almost any kind of DVD copy. It would remove copy protection, shrink and many other things which you could read in its help file.
You could download AnyDVD trial, as well, and see how it works. It is used for removing copy protection and it is updated regularly.

You could try ripit4me, as well, as yoda313 suggests. Here is a guide:

It seems to be excellent but I've never tried it.

Thank you both for this info. I did download it and burn a dvd and it worked wonderfully. I had read the FAQ and seen that it removed protection, but could not see that it shrunk it. It did. Thank you so much. I had really liked the magic dvd and ideal dvdcopy, but it looked like they weren't updated often and the updates were only good for a year. I see DVD Fab is good for life and has been around several years. I went and purchased it as the $30 off ends tonight. I imagine I will hear that they run that special all the time, but I hated to take the chance.
Thanks again.
