everybody has their own prefferences to backing up dvds.

the reason im answering this post is to tell you dont worry about rempeg2 hanging at 99%.
it does a lot, just close it down and your file will be alright.

If you're happy with Clad dvd1.3, why not keep on using it.

You don't have to upgrade to 2.0 !

I personaly use different methods depending on what I want to do with my DVD.

If I want to just rip the movie off (no menus or extras), then I usually use the DVD2DVDR program. (simple to use.. just the basics)

If I want to keep the menus but I need to re-encode, then I use a guide found at doom9.org that tells you how to re-encode your movie and to keep the original menus.

Actually, I could go into plenty of different methods that I use for different things I want to accomplish. (I am still learning).

But to answer your question in a short way (too late), if you want a quick method of doing it, use DVD2DVDR

I have no doubt that this program will improve over time. Just look how far DVD2SVCD has come over the years (yes, I know.. different people wrote the programs).
