Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Here's what ya do...

First, thanks to Hollywood buying/bribing the US Congress, doing this is illegal. And that's regardless of the fact that you bought and own the disc. You can now get rid of the FBI/Interpol warnings, enable the non-user defeatable actions, delete the forced ads, make the burned disc Region code-free, disable the Macrovision signal bit, etc. Imagine putting a disc in your DVD player and it automatically begins playing the movie with the soundtrack that you want and without any pre-movie crap that you don't. I'm 100% against piracy and stealing someone else's work, but I'm also 100% against the Hollywood bullshit/non-defeatable crap that's put on the disc.

Get DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink and a Plextor 716 DVD burner (don't know if others can do this, but this model allows for faster reading of the disc).

DVD Decrypter will allow you to ge all of the files on the DVD to a hard drive. DVD Shrink will allow you to disassemble the files on the DVD. You can actually use it "shrink" the info so that it fits on a single-layer disc or leave it "as is" to burn on a dual-layer disc (although many movies -- not all of the extras -- can fit on a single-layer disc). It also allows you to choose what you want to burn on a disc (both video and audio).

For instance, if all you want is the movie and the DTS soundtrack, that's what DVD Shrink allows you to do. The extras are usually Dolby Digital only, so if you include them in your compilation DVD Shrink will use that audio option for the extras. Short on space? You can choose to burn the movie at 100% quality and the extras that you want (remember, you choose what you want to burn) at 50%, 60%, 75%, etc quality.

Plextor's new 716 DVD burner comes with Plextools software. With a press of the button, you can tell it to read a movie DVD faster than normal speed.
