remember that if there was a commercial product that was designed to allow you to copy DVD's in good quality to your hard drive then they would be shut down almost isntantly if it allowed you to break the copy protection.The Sonys of this world would be very unhappy and litigious.DivX or xVid should give you what you want, you just need to find a program that does the encoding well and then give it enough time to do a good job. With most of these programs they need a fair bit of time for really impressive results. You cant have fast AND good quality. Remember too that speed is relative. When DVD copying first came out, it took around 12 hours to copy a disk so the figures you are seeing are great.
