So the problem I am having is the space. When I decrypte a DVD it takes up about 6-8 gigs of space on my harddrive. Why is it so big? When I used another DVD decrypter, the size the average DVD took up was somewhere around 4 gigs. Which was small enough to burn it to a blank DVD. Now I can't do that because of the gigantic size.
I ripped XXX-State of Union to my Harddrive with DVD Decryter and AnyDVD and it was 7.95 gigabytes! It was in the form of a compressed file (I use WinRar). To me, that way to large, is there something I'm doing wrong? Why is it so much bigger when using this software? I'll never be able to burn this stuff onto a 4.7 gig DVD.

DVD Decrypter alone as well as DVD Decrypter + AnyDVD rip the disc to your hard drive without compression. The files should be listed as follows, .bup, .ifo and .vob. Open in PowerDVD or VLC and select the directory folder and it'll play. If Decrypter rips in one single file then that means you ripped in ISO mode.
(Open Decrypter click on Mode and select File Mode) Which is a 1:1 image of the disc which can be burned with Decrypter or Imgburn. You can use DVD Shrink to compress the DVD files on your hard drive but I recommend you use VobBlanker to blank any extras thrown into the disc. This will save more space for video for better looking video. Less compression, better video.
