DVD ripping is still a complex art and, in my view, will cost you more than it takes to buy the legal copy. When the ClonCD equivalent for DVDs comes, then we'll all breathe a sigh of relief in being able to make backups of our DVD games assuming there's no protection for which there is no patch.

In the meantime, if you are serious about doing a DVD RIP, go to www.megagames.com for the in depth tutorial on the subject and searchg this forum under "DVD Rip" so that you can see what's on the road ahead, who has succeeded and what the problems might be.

Good luck
