DVD -> HD/File?

[TemporalVariance]

Hi.

i jus bought a DVD Player for my PC so i could "copy" DVD to VCD, but failing that, i then bough a DVD-R/W (Pioneer DVR-A04).
the only thing i didnt realise was the size of DVD's (lol)

so, what i am tryinf todo now is, copy the DVD to my hard-drive so that i can maybe fiddle with it & then remove some of the "junk" that DVD's have then burn the image to DVD-R media !?

is there a way i can do this?.. and it dosent have to be quick, jus stable!

i have got: VCDEasy, InstantCD/DVD, SmartRipper, FlaskMPEG, XMPEG4.5.

if you could help? i would be greatful..
