Definition of an ISO: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-iso-image.htm

It's basically your entire 8.5GB dvd as one file.

For example, if you ripped your DVD as an ISO, you'll have a "DBZ_20.iso" file that is 7-8GB large which is the entire DVD.

VOBs (Video Object) are the video files in your dvd inside the VIDEO_TS folder. Just put in one of your Dbox discs in your computer, access it and go into the VIDEO_TS folder and you'll see the VOB files. You can play them with vlc media player.

DVD decrypter can either rip your DVD as a plain iso file or all of the VOB files from the disc into a directory.

If you just want to archive the discs, then rip them as iso files and you can easily burn the iso files to blank dual layer discs and have perfect copies.

If you want to keep the video files on your computer to watch whenever you want or use them for video editing projects, then you can rip the VOB files to a directory. I would highly recommend calling the directory "DBZ Dbox Disc 20" or whatever you want. Most dvd burning programs like Roxio and Nero can easily detect all of the VOB files in the directory and burn them as a perfect copy of the disc. I actually recommend this method more so you can not only watch your files, but also edit them in any editing program. Getting the VOBs to be editable is a completely different task in itself, but there are guides that you can find for that.

This is really only the basic explanation and I haven't even touched the surface. There's literally a million things I've left out, but once you get the hang of DVD ripping, archiving, burning, editing, etc, you'll realize how incredibly valuable it is in preserving and even making fun stuff with your dvds.

All of this is probably extremely overwhelming, but take it one step at a time and I'll try to look for more detailed guides when I'm not tired after work and stuff. Good luck!

DVD Decrypter keeps giving me this message when I exit. Is something wrong? Failed to set data for "DVDDecrypterPlayDVDMovieOnArrival"

Yeah, that happens with me too. Just ctrl+alt+delete and close it with your task manager.

I don't use it anymore personally, but it's the only "free" option.

I've already told you how to watch the ISOs in a PM I sent you. The easiest way to do it is to play it directly with VLC Media Player, although VLC isn't the best player around and some playback issues may arise (the only thing where it's really good at is deinterlacing video, but the vast majority of the Dragon Boxes' content is already encoded as progressive), so I'd recommend downloading a program called Virtual CloneDrive, which is free, and allows you to mount the ISO (in other words, it creates a virtual DVD drive from a DVD image you have in your hard drive) so that you can use any media player of your choice (my personal favourite is Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, which comes included in the Combined Community Codec Pack; also you might want to go to Options > Playback > Output and in "Resizer" select the last option; this is to optimize the upscaling quality when you watch stuff in fullscreen mode).

Also, I promise you can rest assured the only thing DVD Decrypter does to the data stored in the DVD is to copy it, bit by bit, to the hard drive. Don't worry about loss of quality, because it shall not happen, since you are not re-encoding, just copying, the DVD.
