DVD Utilities

[williammuk]

Hi all. I need your advise/recommendation. Hope you can help.

I need a good and simple to use software to:

1. Make identical backups of my DVDs to protect my investment.

2. Convert my DVDs to VCDs so that my kids can watch them in the car.

I'd search the net (eg. download.com) and found some freeware/shareware.

Some doesn't backup protected DVDs. Some doesn't work.

Tried one seems quite good but cost US$39.95 -- DVD Wizard Pro.

Well, at least the trial version (which has a limitation of 10mins) worked.

But not sure if it can do identical backups of DVDs.

Before I forked out the cash to order it, I was just wondering if anyone has

a better recommendation -- preferably a freeware?

Thanks for your advise.
