Good programme to decrypt DVDs to save on HD

What is a good programme to save DVDs to a hard drive? I have an external hard drive of 1 TB Decrypting is not an isue- I use DVD Fab 6, but should I save the DVD as a VideoTS file or convert to ISO? I have a number of programmes- Clone DVD; DVD fab 6, DVD Shrink, DVD decrypter, etc. So two questions 1. In what format should I back up 2. With what programme?

Actually, to answer my own question, looks like Mike Chen has now produced a program called MakeMKV () that would appear to do the job. I did say that I asked the question a very long time ago - and as I haven't needed to do this also for a very long time, I havn't been around here for a while.

Sorry, scrub that. Still looks like menus aren't fully supported.

Why one need menus in MKV?

This is my last observation for this offtopic subject-matter: Standards are there to be fixed in time. Changing standards brings chaos. It's like programming interfaces, you cannot change a function (number of parameters) and expect that every call of it would be ok. Think of the already existing standalones that read MKV, how would they interpret the menus? What if the support ceased meanwhile (out-of-cycle product), so no more FW updates? How can a project manager would design a firmware if the specs are changing in time? What if the gas stations would pump diesel instead of gasoline? MKV was designed to circumvent the limitations of AVI. If one needs extra maybe it's the time for a new format. So, I have a movie and some extras. I simply mux each thing into an MKV or whatever, put all of them in the same folder, and use the built-in menu of the device.

I though MKV was supposed to be an extensible standard, meaning that it could be expanded upon with ease. This would mean that new features would simply be ignored by older systems, in a similar fashion to how other extensible formats work.

Guys, all this discussion of MKV is off topic for this thread. Please stay on topic.

Regarding saving to ISO versus Video_TS I think its moot. The playback issue is a non-issue as long as you have a virtual Drive to mount the ISO's on. Alcohol 120% has this option, as well as many others I'm sure. Mount the ISO, play it from the virtual drive in POwerDVD / Windows Media Player / whatever. But ISO should be fine. Also, DVD Decrypter is pretty old. But also should not be overlooked. Sometimes it can do discs other stuff can't.

DVDFabDecrypter Save VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders inside another folder named after the movie. DONE
