How to get best results on copying my Planet Earth DVD set.

[uncleB]

I want to copy my Planet Earth DVD’s and get the best results. I don’t care about the peripherals, I just want to be able to bring up a menu with the 3 titles on each disk & be able to choose which one I want to view. Also what is the best software to use on this and other purchased DVD’s to insure the best results. Do I use different software to put it on the Hard Drive and then Shrink it? I’ve noticed a lot of you recommend DVD Shrink & DVD Decrypter, are these pretty reliable and if so is there instructions for Dummies (not that I’m a Dummy, but for the sake of argument let’s say I am) that will tell me all I need to know to get great results.
Thanks

If you want the best results then you want to copy the entire disc to your HDD, then write it back to Singapore manufactured Verbatim +R DL blanks. This way there is no quality loss at all. Anything else is a compromise.

If you do have to write them to DVD5s, then I would

Rip with DVDFab HD Decrypter
Re-author with VOBBlanker to strip out the unneeded material
Re-encode with DVD Rebuilder and the HCEnc encoder
Burn with ImgBurn
