Ripping/Burning non-copyrighted DVDs

[SkullWalker]

Hi all!

I have this 80 (give or take) old neighbour who is trying to be a really tech savvy old man. The only bad thing is that I have to show and explain him everything two or three times...before he forgets it again

Ok back to the problem. He is "an active" cameraman and he goes filming this local balls and parties for old people. Then he archives them from his old VHS camera through a VHS/DVD burner on DVDs.

Now he bought a new laptop with gazillion GBs of space and he wants to archive everything on it and also be able to burn it again on DVD if some of his friends/relatives/whoever want a copy.

My question is - can you please give me a tip for a simple yet effective and fast DVD ripping soft and also for a DVD-movie burning soft that will be user friendly with a senior person?

As I mentioned before - these DVDs are not copyrighted because they are his genuine material.

Thanks a lot!

dvd shrink, and nero

You can try DVDFab.

DVDshrink and ImgBurn

DVDshrink will create video folder files or .iso for burning

Actually, DVDShrink won't be needed, since the source discs are already 4.7 GB (regular size).

Therefore, I recommend the much more capable DVD Decrypter.

Pair that with IMGBurn (same interface!) and you get a winning combination.

Isn't ImgBurn capable of what he wants, without the need of DVDShrink or DVD Decryptor?

It's kind of slow compared to commercial stuff, though. (Nero, DVDFab, etc.)
