Perfect 1:1 bit-to-bit copy

How do I make a perfect 1:1 bit-to-bit copy of DVDs?

Drag the VIDEO_TS folder to your desktop.

if you are referring to retail movies, it isn't possible at all. the css is written in an area only pressed dvds can write to.

Thanks for the reply guys.

I have another question that I don't want to create a new topic for.
In DVD Shrink, when I select "No Compression" will there be any loss in audio/video quality?

no

As far as video and audio quality goes, YES!!
But then you did not originally ask if there was any quality loss, just if you could make a "bit for bit" copy.

But minidv2dvd is correct about the copy protection, but then who would want to copy/transfer that over 8)
& they don't "write" to pressed dvd's :P

Just use anydvd ($$) or the free version of DVDFab to copy the movie to your hard disk. Then you will have your no loss of quality copy.
