I am sure this ? has been asked a thousand times but i havent found it yet. What software do i need and is the best and easiest for backing up dvds. From my understanding i need a ripper, compression, and burning software. Is that the jest of it. Also you dell users, i just bought a dell. It should be here in about a week, its says it has dvd decoding software(cyberlin). Is that something i need to use. What is it for? Thanks.
