    MustAvit have a DVD ripping service (which is illegal, so I'm not sure how they get away with it), but it costs a lot for what is a few minutes work. A DVD takes about 15 minutes to copy on my computer.

    Yep! It's a lot easier to do it yourself. Just pop a disk in when ever you're not using the computer and you'll be done in no time.

    I Agree! DIY is the best way to go! you don't need to sit in front of the PC 24/7. Just stick in a DVD start the Rip and go away and have a real life, Go out for dinner, see a movie or have a drink then in a few hours the DVD will be ripped! :D That's what I do!!

    It is if you use software such as DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink.

    Or even a program that is still updated. ;)

    Try HD Decrypter (free), this will "back up" any disc that shrink won't do. Once it has done its business, I run it through shrink anyway, then burn with Nero.
