Is there such a thing?

All I want to do is backup my DVD collection.

Any suggestions?

It's the last of the ones we can talk about. That is, we can't talk about ripping that defeats DRM or copy protection.

If you need to know why, read Forum Policies

If all you want to do is backup your DVDs for safe keeping. Make a disk image of each DVD. ImgBurn can do that for you.

It does not change the forum policies.

Think about what company is our host. Does that help you understand?
