a few programs for DVDs

[CoMa]

DVD43Free
http://www.dvd43.com/

DVD43 removes most types of copy protection found on found
on movie DVDs. DVD43 only works on Win2K and WinXP.

If you have Win98 or WinME, I suggest you use DVD Decrypter
(use 'Mode' 'File') which allows you to rip all the files of a DVD
to your hard drive and then copy with your favorite copy software.

MenuShrink

MenuShrink is a small app that lets you compress DVD motion
menus by turning them into still menus with or without audio.

Many DVDs use motion menus (i.e., animated menus where
buttons appear in front of a segment of video that usually loops).
If you're having problems shrinking your DVD with DVD Shrink
because it's too big to begin with, this tool might help you. It will
turn your motion menus into still menus (where the buttons are
overlaid over a still image), with or without audio. In many cases,
the space savings is tremendous. For the Star Wars movies, the
main menus take about 600MB, and can easily be shrunk to
about 40MB (keeping the audio).

VobBlanker

VobBlanker is a tool able to blank, replace, cut and strip titles,
more specifically, program chains or individual cells.
From release 1.5 VobBlanker is also able to work
(blank, preview, delete..) in the menu domain.

PgcEdit

PgcEdit is a DVD IFO editor designed to allow the modification
of the navigation commands and parameters of an already
authored DVD structure. PgcEdit is also an excellent tool to
learn how a DVD works..
