Now we begin to extract the DVD image by first inserting the desired DVD you wish to backup in your DVD drive and then opening DVD Decrypter. DVD Decrypter should automatically choose the drive that has the DVD movie in it as long as only one disc is in your computer. If you have multiple discs in your computer you may have to choose the disc drive where your DVD is by selecting the drive from the menu labeled "Source" by clicking on the drive with the DVD in it from the drop down menu.
After selecting the right DVD to backup, we then move below the source part of the window and will now select a "Destination" for the DVD image before it becomes compressed to fit on one disc. You can choose a destination by clicking the little folder icon with the magnifying glass on it to browse to the location to save the disc image. Make sure to choose a location you can find easily and that has at least 8-9 gigabytes (8192-9216 kb) of free disk space available. We will use location of this image later in the tutorial.
Now we are ready to extract the DVD and make the uncompressed backup image of the disc. To start this process simply clicking the button that shows a DVD disc with a green arrow pointing to a hard drive. This process will take some time as it is copy everything on the disc, bit by bit. After DVD Decrypter finishes, simply close DVD Decrypter and proceed to the next step.
