Making DVD Movie backups?

Question

Im tired of having to replace my dvds after a year because they get too scratched they won't play or will skip...Im going to buy a laptop with a dvd writer...to make a direct dvd backup,what would I need? i don't think its as easy as inserting a blank dvd r in one drive and inserting the dvd into the other...be as specific please...and I will pick a best answer.

Answer 1

get this

http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tool...

and this

http://www.dvd43.com/

run both. Insert the disk. Use dvdshrink to back it up. You need to run dvd43 in the background or it wont read copy encryption on newer disks.  

Answer 2

Well I had to buy this software from Bestbuy called "I copy dvd's 2".  I installed it and tried to backup my dvd's with that and it didn't work.  I looked around on the internet and found out that I would have to download something called "dvd43" in order to decode the discs.  So I did that and the two programs worked together great.  I did have a problem with some of my Disney discs though.  I think they use some hardcore encryption or something.
