Take some time to read these help pages.
They are very explicit and you should have no problems after reading them.

Id use smartripper instaed of dvd decrypter if I was you

Or you could Encode to SVCD and then burn to DVD-R, probably get a couple of films per disc

I certainly don't have any complaints on the quality

Just keep in mind that Fat 32 has a file size limitation of 3.999 G hence your PC will not see a blank DvD You should convert to NTFS
After a fare share of frustration I puschased Dup-Dvd which copies DVD to VCD or SVCD in a seamless step
It gives the options to select language, size, etc.....VCD copied with Quality set to high renders as good a quality as the original
you could browse the site www.dup-dvd.com

BACKUP DVD TO DVD,

If the movie part of the DVD is less than 5GB
And hopefully after stripping out audio/subs we do
not want, it will get down to 4.3GB
