Hi all,

A few weeks back I discovered that some.of my old dvds are starting to degrade, I want to archive them on hard drives preserving the original data and menu structure. These DVDs are copy protected. I used mkv but just now realized the menu says isn't saved just the playable files. How does one make full backup.copies of copy protected DVDs including menu structure completely preserving the original quality without using a paid service?

Thanks in advance.

And before anyone asks why I don't just stream these videos or use the mkv version, mostly it's because I want to view them as they were intended... especially as some of these are no longer made or presented in the DVD formats I have (buffy the vampire slayer for example ..they only have the digitally remastered versions for streaming which are trash)
