I was wandering around the internet when i came upon the nifty difty DVD decrypter. i love the idea of transferring my dvd collection to my computer but frankly i don't have enough memory for a ton of 7-10 gigabyte ISO files. i also tried an online storage thing but it wouldn't upload the iso file. if anybody can give me a way to store these monsters (preferably for free) or a way to make the file sizes MUCH smaller i'd be very happy!
P.S. i've tried DVD Shrink but it just doesn't make them small enough

You could try converting them to DivX. It makes your movies the size of a regular CD with is 700Mb's.

Yes, DIVX works great if you don't mind ending up with a video that is not as sharp. When you shrink a video's file size, you have to give up some quality.

You will need either a DVD ripper that rips to DIVX. Or a ripper that rips to some other format and then use a converter to convert it to DIVX.
You will probably have to pay for at least one of them.
