DVDShrink will be your best bet- it'll decrypt and resize the file in one step. Search the guides. A few questions: have you checked media compatibility for your Apex player? What's your burning app? You plan on doing the first few tries on a rewritable, don't you?

I would second DVD Shrink. You can use the Re-Author mode to backup just the movie with no extras. It's free for download, all you need is a DVD burning program like nero.

Here's the link and a guide to help you get started. http://www.polarhome.com:793/~afonic/shrink.htm

Have fun.

DVDShrink is about as simple as it gets. For 90% of your movies it's perfect. The other 10% could benefit from an advanced guide or just use DVDDecryptor in main-movie mode.

So far only 1 movie it couldn't back up (I have 1 legitamate DVD18, believe it or not!) because the main movie was over 12 GB. Running it through twice produced unacceptable results, so I split it to 2 disks via Shrink and it's all good.
