See topic. What's the best way?
Has anybody experimented with this? I have a limited knowledge of how I might use like VirtualDub, one of the Video Studio suites, or maybe TMPGEnc to do it but I'd like to hear your thoughts...
Anybody who would create or point me toward a step by step means of doing it from original DVD to backup would be appreciated a great deal...

Thanks for your response. Since I read it - I did a lot of research at that site/others on all the various software/techniques to use. Tried practically everything and learned a great deal.
I've been able to come up with my own sort of newb, non-advanced way of doing what I want that has been able to satisfy me. Though I'd like to use AVIsynth, etc - either it's too complicated for me or my computer can't handle some part of the process or both.
Basically now I use AutoGK and TMPGEnc and that's it. Rip with the former, then use some of the advanced settings of the latter to improve the picture and have an instantly burnable MPEG/DVD-Video compatible output file.
It takes quite a while to do all the conversion but the picture improvement is fairly dramatic. Dramatic enough for me to be happy with my hard-earned R1 collection of DB and put the non-subtitled (but very tempting) Dragon Boxes out of my head once and for all.
For the longest time I was so desperate to buy the latter and angry at the quality of the former that I nearly had to be hospitalizied - I swear it was driving me insane. But this seems to be a very solid solution and one that will exist as a great "happy medium" for me until everything is perfectly reissued (god willing) on either Blu-Ray over the next few years or HVD after another decade.
Thanks again!!!
EDIT: Yes, I realize I used the terms "former & latter" within a short span of a few sentences to refer to different things. I'm nutty, I know. Please, just forgive me.
