Anyone know of a good DVD clone software utility?

I want to make a back up copy of my daughter's dance DVD and I tried to just directly copy it and there is some copy protection thing on it so I can't.

1. Try DVD Decrypter

I don't think it's a supported app anymore, but it works well.

3. You'll need two programs from this company:

AnyDVD - removes the encryption from the disks.
CloneDVD does the actual copying. Useful if you have a double-layer DVD master but only have single layer DVD blanks because it'll compress the content to fit on the disk.

Works very well. I have both of them.

Bear in mind that it is legal to copy it for personal use (back up) but not legal to circumvent copy protection. AnyDVD is available overseas for download and technically is an illegal program in the US. So technically I'm breaking the law by having the program, so shhh don't tell anyone!

4. DVD Shrink is a good'n.

Not sure if that still exists though, haha.

5. Everything still exists on the web, somewhere....

On the Mac I use Mac the Ripper for ripping and Toast to burn.

It's free, it's small, and it works great.
