DVDShrink

Thanks to built-in decryption algorithms, this software can bust through just about any DVD and make a backup copy for your hard drive. It even allows users to set the compression level. Older versions of DVDShrink won’t allow you to burn copies, but AfterDawn says that’s since been added. A huge bonus is that the website also has a very active community, if you have questions, problems, or just want to vent.

Price: Free
The Buzz: “This compact file format is about 40 percent smaller than a traditional Blu-ray data disc, but playback demands a media player that is capable of handling MKV files..” — Check out AfterDawn’s DVDShrink Tutorial
