NE1 successfully backed up Band of Brothers? If so how?
Thanks
just finished the 5 dvd box, jused DVDDecrypter to copy them to my hard-disk on file mode, and downsampled the full dvd with DVD2one.
Jused full disk mode, because the orginal dvd is apro 5,3 gigs.
no problems, grtz
I have done all episodes with Instantcopy. I did not like the quality of DVD2One on them. Some of the disks are up to 7gigs. Not ideal for DVD2One.
Here are my notes. I can’t be certain about all the numbers anymore. I remove ALL the subtitles and leave DTS and DD5.1 soundtrack. Only those two sounds tracks.
Disk 1:
Menu=40.01%
Title=67.23%
Final Size=4.34gig
Disk2:
Menu=40%
Title=68%
Disk3:
Menu=40%
Title=65%
Disk4:
Menu=40%
Title=64.30%
Disk5:
Menu=40%
Title=68.5%
Disk6 takes more work.
Menu=40%
Title1=63%
Title10=60%
Title17=60%
These number give you an output between 4.33gigs and 4.36gigs.
I hope that helps. It at least gives you a starting point 
Thanks for the replies! I will give it a shot tonight, got the set for my birthday and wanted to make a backup of them and poreserve the originals.
Used dvd shrink ver.103 which is a free prog. was impressed with speed & quality.

I did a back up of all DVDs using DVDshrink. What I did was the following.
DVD Shrink as DVD Decripter will get rid of the nonsense (Warnings etc.)
I decropt all the crap that you don’t need, for instance you can take the HBO logo and take the credits at the end. You can save a lot of space this way.
Then in the sound area, you just choose ACH 6 English and leave out the rest.
At this point you choose the custom compression that you want. I chose level 2. (I notice that if you choose level 3 and above, then the quality decreases considerably!)
Finally you get a great quality DVDs.
