DVD Shrink can compile the files into a nice ISO for you. The ISO will be to
large for standard CD-R/RW's though. You may want to intstall a Virtual Drive
that you can load ISO files into (like a fake DVD drive). A good freeware one can
be found on the Elaborate Bytes website, its called "VirtualCloneDrive". It will
allow you to treat the ISO as a physical DVD or CD disk.

If u want to use Ms MediaPlayer to play dvd's you'll have to have version 9+
installed and a DVD codec to go with it.

There are'nt many freeware DVD codecs arround and there hard to find or usualy
substandard (wont play all DVD's) If you go to the Ms MediaPlayer plugins page
you'll find some good codecs there.

I use PowerDVD. It allows me to play *.ifo *.vob *.bup files without having to
convert them into an *.iso. I just have to select ALL the files associated with
the DVD from the "Select Source" menu.

nb. DVD Codecs usually come bundled with your DVD drive.

If you have trouble finding DVD Shrink. I may mail to u as zip. ~1.04Mb
