backup movies for free

DVDShrink is software to backup DVD discs. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc.
dvdshrink will work with most dvd copy protection but for some of the newer dvd's you will need Passkey Lite

Passkey Lite, a free version of Passkey, is a simple combination of Passkey for DVD and Passkey for Blu-ray. It is not any more a versatile and powerful decryption tool with some DVD/Blu-ray protections out of its domain. However, you can still freely watch any DVD, and use other software to access unprotected DVD/Blu-ray content.
Remove part of DVD/Blu-ray protections
Work with other compatible software to access unprotected DVD/Blu-ray content
