I burn my files with an EXTRAS_TS folder, which contain an info file, an md5 file & sometimes the artwork.
So when I need to copy something I'm just using copy & paste. Then I check the integrity with the md5 file.
They'll never stop
They'll never quit
Cause they are ?

I think the best prog for ripping fullDVD (1:1) is DVD Decrypter

I essentially do the same, I just drag and drop the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD to my hard drive, then I burn it with Nero. The advantage of doing that way is that you can tell if one of your files is possibly corrupt and its easier to get a replacement file from someone then an entire dvd.
Agreed. I always use the copy&paste method. I'll only use programs like DvdFab or DvdDecrypter if I come across any errors or if i'm copying actual movie dvds
can I ask what you mean when you say you'll use dvd decrypter when you come across errors?

Some dvd's might have a tiny scratch, copy protection or dummy sectors etc and Decrypter will (most of the time) recognise and mark those sections as suspect and will insert or at least try to insert it's own dummy sectors making that particulay section readable.

so, if a disc is damaged, decrypter just puts some dummy sectors and bypasses the damage?
That doesn't sound good. I mean, it's fine if I want to watch a movie or something, but if I'm trading with someone I don't want to get a bad copy that has these dummy sectors.

DVDFAB does the same thing too I believe?. That's why I only use those programs on movies lol

Does anyone know a bit more about this?
I've been using dvd decrypter for along time and it usually pops an error message when it can't read a DVD.
I see there is an "Ignore Read Errors" option in the settings, but I always have it unchecked.
