i uhhhh.... wanted to backup my collection.

Uh huh.

I've always used Nero, and DVD Shrink gets around all the protective stuff on copyrighted DVDs then automatically uses Nero to burn the disc after it bypasses them. It compresses thigns so you can fit more on a DVD too, so you can fit that "collection" onto less DVDs.
