I've mentioned the free dvd shrink program many times and it worked super for the kids and a recent road trip which we didn't want to take our store bought expensive originals.

Thanks to people like bob for mentioning and making us aware of programs such as the amazing DVDShrink and its counterpart DVDDecrypter. Programs like these help us people who can't afford to buy a new copy of a DVD that we already own just because it got scratched. I agree with BOB as these programs work "super" for making inexpensive backups. Finally a program worth it's salt. To hell with the RIAA and their c*ck and bull pseudo-regulations

I went on a road trip and refused to take 20+ dollar DVDs that might get scratched or such.

I also have dupes of what AudioCDs I want in the car. In the past you never left the CDs in the car. Now I can.

They overstep their boundaries. Suing a minor by way of attaining their info through scare tactics used on ISPs, that's wrong. What the hell happened to privacy of information? Sure, I don't get pissed off when some kid or adult happens to attain my information because they wanted to prove they could...hey, more power to them and I hope they keep on gaining knowledge of how things work but I do mind a 'Legitimate organization' blackmailing a company with threats of legal action because they *want* certain information. In addition to that, perhaps if their definitions of 'backups' and 'personal copies' were more concrete in their wording and not so hypocritical and confusing to the average person then maybe then they could wine about people 'illegally pirating' music. If you want an example then here's one: You can 'legally copy' seven (7) times for 'personal use' or to share with your wife or trade with 7 friends... one (1) audio disc on a standalone copier but when a computer has anything to do with it then the entire copying process becomes 'illegal' no matter who it's for. What the hell is that?

No good

I tried 1 Click DVD, and after 30 hours of back and forth with customer support (That?s a misnomer if I ever heard one) and days of working with self styled "geniuses" on the forum, I found 1 Click to be one of the most useless pieces of junk I have ever owned

Try DVD clone II, over 120 movies and only 2 "coasters"
