Thanks much for the tip, friend. I downloaded a copy of InstantCopy last night. At first I was kind of bummed that it isn't truly a "1 Clicker". That is, it won't decrypt/decode a CSS-Encoded DVD. But if you think about it, that's kind of a smart move on their part considering that 321 Studios just lost their initial court battle with Hollywood as of yesterday

At any rate, DVD Decrypter is a nice program. Ripped a particularly troublesome DVD of mine to my hard drive and then I pointed "InstantCopy" at that directory and 1-clicked. It takes considerably longer than other copy programs Ive used. But hey, it worked like a charm on the DVD I was attempting to backup. If it continues to do a great job, it's 'teh win' for me. I'd rather it take a long time and work the first time, personally. Rather than risk making coasters or waste time with the buggy DVD XCopy. (PS: I really wanted to like their software because they reside in my town, St. Louis, and a friend works for them... but hey, it's too much of a pain in ass.)

I have read on another dvd forum a lot of people complaing about DVDXCopy, supposedly one of the better ways is AnyDVD with CloneDVD or ANYDVD with DVD Shrink

I just cut a 1 hour 55 minute movie down to 115 minute using ANYDVD and DVDShrink keeping all the English menu's & Chapters and all the sound

Thanks for the tip. I will be sure to check these out as well.
