RE: The above advice.
I always rip to HD before 'Shrinking' (if necessary) and that's just it - it won't rip to HD.
In AnyDVD it freezes after
22% & I have to re-start / cold boot my PC.
I tried that CloneDVD thing - maybe I mis-read you but it won't let me 'log' as it won't touch 'protected' DVD's.
The disc is 7.85 Gb.
