Also, if your "friend" put encryption on his DVD's then DVDShrink will probably handle it. If not, then use
DVDDecrypter
to decrypt/rip the files to your hard drive first. Then use DVDShrink
to compress those files to fit on a single layer 4.7GB disk, or you can
re-author the DVD to remove your "friend's" additional languages,
director's comments, etc.
After you decrypt your "friend's" movie and shrink it, you can then use
normal dvd copying software such as Nero to make multiple copies later
on if your "friend" approves of such. I've done this for several of my
clients with their home movies, etc.
Also, if you can find a copy of DVD xCopy around, it will do everything
in a few mouse clicks. You can't copy a copy made with DVD xCopy but
Shrink will do that.
Note: As a parent, I always make legal backup copies of the kids
movies. I've bought Shrek no less than 3 times and got tired of that. I
purchased my first DVD burner and now don't have to worry when
the kids break or scratch one since I have my legal archival copies
(screw the DCMA).
