Copying DVD and buring a new one

[Ryoko]

I got a DVD here I bought second hand online for £2, it has a small crack in the centre. as it was £2 I don't see the point in returning it so I want to copy it.

Can anyone recommend a good ripper that keeps it in the DVD format so I can just burn a straight copy of it to keep as a spare for when/if the original cracks all the way thru. All the free ones I've found doing online searches, rip it for PC storage in PC file formats.

I got a good burner on my Vista laptop so I want something that works on Vista.

thanks.

DVD Fab is great for backing up dvds: www.dvdfab.com but watch out for bundled adware/toolbars when you install it. If you're watchful of tick-boxes and options you'll only get the DVD Fab program itself and it works really well. That'll burn a perfect copy straight to dvd for the first 30 days, but after the trial period has expired you are left with just the "hd decrypter" option, which basically saves the whole dvd on your hard drive and then all you need to do is burn the file structure to dvd with another free utility like Imageburn.

Thank you!
