This guide will show you how to use DVD-Ranger to copy only your main movie from your DVDs onto a blank (single layer, 4.36GB) DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc. Copying from a DVD-9 disc to a blank single layer disc can require a lot of compression and results in quality loss. By leaving out the menu’s and extras your movie will only require minimum compression, and with the DVD-Ranger Physxtech Enhancements, you should be left with a nice high quality backup.
