I have ripping software to get the dvd on the hard drive.  But, how do I get it back on a disc with a free app or an inexpensive alternative?  If this is not possible, what do you recommend as a major industry product?

dvd shrink\n\nWhat is DVD Shrink?\n\nDVD Shrink is software to backup DVD discs. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc.\n\nDVD Shrink will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero. You can download a demo version of Nero here. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVD Shrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, or as an ISO disc image on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice.\n\nDVD Shrink is free software. You should never pay for DVD Shrink. Please refer to the License Agreement. \n\nWhy use DVD Shrink?\n\nMost DVDs are designed to prevent you from making copies. \n\nThe first preventative measure is encryption. Commercial DVD titles are often encrypted, which prevents you from either copying them to your hard drive, or if you manage to do so, being able to play the resulting files. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem with built-in decryption algorithms, which means you can use DVD Shrink to backup a DVD directly, without requiring any other software.\n\nThe next problem is not so easy. Most DVD video titles are simply too large to fit, without modification, onto a single recordable DVD-R disk. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem by compressing or "shrinking" the data from your original DVD. The latest DVD Shrink 3.2 contains state-of-the-art compression algorithms, rivalling those found in the best commercial softwares.\n\nDVD Shrink also allows you to re-author your DVD. You can make your own compilation from one or more source DVDs, or select only the parts of a DVD which you intend to view, thus preserving more space on your backup for the highest quality viewing.\n\nLast but not least, why use DVD Shrink? Because DVD Shrink is free!

Try DVDFab Decrypter.  It is a simple program that enables you to copy it to your hard drive without too many complicated settings.  Just make sure your WMP codec pack is up to date or you'll have trouble reading the DVD once it's on your hard drive.  Beware...DVD's take a lot of space, so watch your hard drive space usage.

try this RipIt4Me\nget here\nhttp://www.ripit4me.org/\n\nRipIt4Me is a freeware utility that helps you backup your copy protected DVDs.\n\nRecently released DVDs are now very often equipped with stronger copy protections - such as ARccOS™ and RipGuard DVD. Programs like DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter cannot handle these types of discs.\n\nWith the help of RipIt4Me, ripping these DVDs will be a very easy task. The program is fully automated and the wizard will guide you through all the necessary steps involved. If you prefer, there is also a true "1-Click" mode that will perform all the involved steps automatically for you.

In general, it's tough to rip DVDs using freeware (due to legality issues) and when it is done the files are quite large.  What you might want to do is capture what is going on on your screen and play the scene that you want.  You could then edit using Windows Media Player (probably the easiest software).  I was looking and found http://www.virtualdub.org/ - that might be just what you are looking for, I haven't tried it though.  Also check out the other software ideas on the source site.

I'm sorry darlin but unless you have a DVD burner your chit outta luck.  Also, copying DVD's is a little more complicated than ya might think.  Exspecially store bought.  They have a built in code in them and are a very large file download and that's if you was to be able to download them.  Sorry, good luck till ya get a DVD burner.  Come back then and I'll tell ya how ta decode and copy them.  Good luck.  Mikie.

First, I should say (so as not to get into any trouble), that i recommend you to actuall buy the movie, if you like it.  Or it you downloaded it because you already own it then thats ok\n\nAnyways, use a program like easy cd creater, or Nero (recommended) to brun it.  The thing you need to look for, is when the program boots up a wizrd might show up.  You need to tell it that you want to "burn a dvd movie" and when it asks you for the source files, if you have everything installed prperly, it should encode the movie automatically.  Good luck
