I always reauthor them. I usually have them in the 70-80 range and it usually takes 1.5-2 hours. I'm fine with the time, it is just the size that is a problem. I don't have nero, but I will probably have it by the time I go to college.

All the programs I have attempted to find online have been trial versions. It is quite clear to me that DVD ripping takes a lot more work than CD ripping. I suppose that is because a lot more effort is put into stopping DVD pirating than music pirating.
