Either one, ripper will only rip to your hard drive, copier will rip to your hard drive or copy to a temp folder so you can burn a dvd right after you rip it.
Here's how to do it with copier,
How to copy a DVD movie to hard drive and playback it?
Hi there
a REALLY Easy way -- download Alcohol 52 (FREE) and then copy DVD as an ISO to HDD. You can mount the ISO image and use your favourite movie / dvd software to play it just like a normal DVD.

Large external small pocket size USB drives are CHEAP now - 500GB ones cost around 65 USD.
You don't have to COMPRESS the DVD's either - so you keep original quality --important on a large screen.
Now Compressing Audio is one matter --although I'm not a big fan of highly compressed mp3 audio sound -- compressing VIDEO is totally a different ballgame -- you'll see degradation VERY quickly - especially on larger screens.
DIVX for example looks utterly appalling on a 42 inch (or larger) tv set. It *might* be passable on a smapp 8 inch netbook.
Incidentally having the ISO's on a disl means you can re-burn the DVD's and you've got a copy. - Note for some DVD's you'll have to use Multi-Layered DVD's to re-burn back to DVD - although you can use DVDSQUEEZE to extract out different subtitles, languages and the extra features that nobody ever bothers with - and then re-burn.

Ok Magic Ripper worked, kind of.
It at least prompted me to skip the bad sectors & continue to burn.
Now I just have to see if I got enough of the dvd & if it will even play.
Do I need to do anything else to this rip or is it all set now?
You need to choose convert or backup, convert will convert ( obviously) and you can choose the profile, backup will copy them to your hard drive, either the whole dvd or just the main movie.
Ok so it looks like the part I ripped was only 1 of 3 sections.
Now these other 3 sections will play on Media player when I pop the dvd in initially... so why wouldnt it burn?
Since it does play, can I rip it in Media Player?
Hi there
Try my Idea -- Use Alcohol 52 to copy the DVD as an ISO to HDD
Mount it on virtual drive (Alcohol 52 will do this too).
Now play with VLC.
(Don't worry about DVD-7 or other DVD formats - the software will take care of that automatically when creating your ISO - you get a complete PLAYABLE CLONE of the original).
(Size these days of BIG CHEAP external USB HDD's you don't need to "Squeeze" etc etc).
You've also got a decent copy of the original -- the Alcohol 52 software will remove "protection" - select amongst the loads of options.
Job done
Cheers

one program that is good for decrypting is any dvd by slysoft
SlySoft Products | Copy Movie DVDs with AnyDVD and CloneDVD
it is a pay program but they do offer a 21 day free trial
it does keep up with current copy protection and can also make a iso of a dvd or
do them in a folder like dvd shrink only thing is any dvd does not do the compression that dvd shrink does
