DVD copy - help needed

I posted in another thread, but thought I should likely start my own.
I have been trying for days now to come up with a way to copy my original dvds to another disk so I can store the original. I want to eliminate the need to re-purchase damaged disks.
I have tried dvdfab which I can get to work but the quality is quite bad when it does happen to work. I used this to rip and burn which gives a double dvdfab logo in the top corner, how very annoying.
I have tried copying through my other computer only using nero with anydvd running in the background, and while the operation of this application works well, it is not a dvd ripper as such, it just makes a disc image to the hard drive which you later burn to disc. This has given me the best quality in itself but it pauses momentarily throughout the movie.
I more recently downloaded dvdcloner but this will only seem to work if I have two dvd drives and he trial version only gives you one shot to try it.
Any suggestions are welcome. I don't mind if I have to pay a little money, just so long as I can try it first and it works with what I want to do.

Hi Roderunner,
Thanks for your reply. I clicked on the link you have for DVDfab HD Decrypter. That come up in the list when I open up DVDfab but it says I haven't used it... I don't know what is the best way to rip.
I'll check out Freemake Video Converter!

Thanks Kevin!

Roderunner,
For some reason your post prompted me to look a little differently at this, and I found that while I was looking for all the different settings, I missed the one that made all the difference. I have managed to achieve my full quality copy by using DVDcopy [DVDfab] and making sure that the button next to the output source is selecting ".iso" I knew it would have to be something simple like that...
Also, I just used DVD disc creator [double click the file to open up disc creator] through win7 to burn it to disc, never been so easy and with such excellent quality, no loss at all!
