Best DVD Backup software

I just got a DVD burner, so now the I need to decide what software to use. Is there any that will back up a DVD in "one click"? Meaning it will rip, compress, and burn the dvd? If not, what would you guys suggest using?

Thanks.

are you talking about movies or something you made with your camcorder, or data.
nero works good for most stuff.

It would be used for both backing up movies and burning video clips taken with a digital camera / camcorder. But mostly backing up movies and burning very short video clips, because I dont have a camcorder yet.

You think Nero would be good for this?

Thanks.

RecordNow and Nero are very good burning programs. As hobey19 said, DVDShrink is the best you can get for backing up movies you own, simply because it can make dual layer discs fit on a single DVD (albeit at a loss of quality).

DVD shrink is the best.... CLONE DVD is great as well but not free.
