Make sure you dont have tasks or other programs running in the background. they can disrupt the process and corrupt a disc.
2. Open DVDShrink and select open disc and choose your dvd drive with the dvd you want to copy in it.

3. It will begin to analyze the disc, it should be fairly quick, but may hang if the disc is dirty or scratched. Try to clean it off and try again. Make sure to turn off preview image because it wastes time.

4. When done you will get the main interface. here you can remove shitty stuff that you dont need, such as french language etc. Leave the compression at auto, trust me they dvd's look fine

5. Click the Back up button located up top and choose the target device as ISO IMAGE and Target image file as where on your HD you would like to save the image. Also check Launch DVD decrypter to burn dvd.

6. You will see it begin to Encode and then rip the Iso image to your harddrive. it will take a while so dont do anything on your computer as it may disrupt the encoding or ripping. Also make sure to click off enable preview image to save time.

7. Once that is finished DVD decrypter should pop up automatically. Remove the original disc and insert a blank DVD. It should look like this with the Source as your Iso image. Check what speed you want it to burn at and then make sure your DVD drive is the Destination. Click the Green Arrow and off you go to burn the image to your disc.

Once completed, test your dvd in your player to make sure it runs. Then go to where you saved that image and delete it off your HD. that sucker is 4.7 Gigs so its gonna take up space FAST. It will be too big to send to recycle bin, so it will delete automatically.
That method should burn 95% of the dvd's out there, However if you are running into cycle redundancy errors and its not because of a dirty disc
then use this dvdfab decrypter

This will create an entire full sized Iso of the dvd image, you then have to use the methods described above to shrink and burn that image, but you would chose open image and point to that iso rather than the disc.
if that doesnt do it there is one other method and its REALLY complex that I use and dont have the will to write it out here.
There you have it. Any questions feel free to ask me.
