I started with DVD Decrypter and then DVD2One to shrink it to fit on a 4.7GB disk, but with DVD Shrink, you can rip and then burn in one go, whilst also converting to region-free if you wish, and you only need to have the space available for the contents whilst this process is working, i.e. once finished, simply delete the contents of the folder you specified in the set-up. You can copy an entire disk (and shrink it to fit on a standard 4.7GB disk) but it does give you the option to ignore foreign sub-titles/audio and variuos other extra on the disk, allowing you less compression to the main movie.
It's a great program, and very easy to use, although the one thing it can't so (much to my despair) is convert a NTSC DVD to PAL. Not something that will affect most people who have a region free DVD player, but my TV can't play NTSC and my DVD player, although region free, does not have RGB out, which means NTSC discs play in black & white!
Anyway, if you have problems getting a copy, let me know and I'll send it to you as last time I tried, none of the listed sites made it easy to find.
