Set up a folder in your pc for the dvd files you�ll be copying. For ease of memory, put it in the �my videos� section of �my documents�. You should have installed Nero, then DVD shrink
Put the dvd to copy into the drive, and stop it from playing if autoplay kicks in. Then open DVD Shrink � there�s an icon on your screen.
A screen will open
Now click �Open Disk� � it�s the top left button.
Note: the two arrows icon will allow you to choose start and finish points if you want - great for compilations, just use loads of folders and when saved, instead of Open Disc click Open files, clicking on them in order you want to burn them

The disk will now open really quickly, and when it�s finished you will need to decide what you want to keep, and what you aren�t interested in copying. If you want the whole disk, including extras etc, just click on the �Backup� icon.

You�ll be asked for the folder you want to save the files into � it�s the folder you set up earlier. At this stage, you can leave your pc to get on with breaking the encryption. If your pc has a second drive as a burner, just put the blank into it and the program will burn automatically when the decryption is finished. If not, you�ll be prompted to swap discs when it�s ready. Either way, the files are saved to your pc, and burned from there.

If you want to drop the extras etc, instead of clicking �backup�, click �reauthor�
You�ll see the right-hand pane will be full of what�s on the disk. Just double click on the main title, and it�ll jump to the left hand side. Then click back-up to copy as above.

You have them saved in a folder on your harddrive somewhere. Instead of open disc, click open files and point the prog at the film you want, then continue as normal
