hey guys i have the Greys Anatomy seasons 6-8 and i am wanting to make a backup copy DVD of them. When i go to rip them with DVD Fab ripper the output file size it like 19gb. How is that possible to have such a large file size for a DVD? Also could anybody give me a way to make a copy of these DVDs?

Sounds like they are written to dual layer DVDs (DVD-DL), but the ripper could be calculating the size based on the preferences you have setup in the tool for picture/video quality. Try reducing your video settings for the output.

Thanks! I will mess with the settings a bit. I will check back here if i have no luck. I also thought it was because maybe they are dual layer but thats a pretty large file.
