Anyone know of any good methods for copying DVD 9's (dual layers) on to a 4.7?

You have to find a program called DVD shrink. It is the shiznit. Unfortunately, it is not updated anymore as far as I know so some DVD's may give you problems with copyright bullshit. If you have this problem there is another program called DVD for Free or DVD 43 that you can run at the same time that is updated to beat new copyrights, you just have to have it running when you put the dvd in. Works like a charm, there is even settings to turn down the quality of special features/menus or take extra audio (foriegn language) tracks out to keep the video quality high. I don't remember where I downloaded them but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Dvd Shrink and a copy of this from somewhere........

AnyDvd (http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html)

Just run Anydvd in the background and it sorts out region encoding and security stuff as well.

I like to use RipIt4Me it basically uses DVD Shrink and DVDDecrypter in a very easy no hassle program. Also if it needs to decrypt a DVD and you dont know what exact settings to use just click the 1-click mode and it will change all the settings accordingly. I have never had one dvd fail on me.
