Try DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter, both are free. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd9_to_dvdr_with_dvd_shrink.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/small_dvd_2_dvdr.cfm
Help?? I tried... Do you have PowerDVD or WinDVD? If so, try playing with those, run for a minute or so and close out. Sometimes this will unlock your drive. Also you stated that your bummed that you don't have knowledge to try anything else. Try DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter. When using Shrink and Decrypter: 1) Open Shrink, open disc 2) Click "backup!" 3) Change Target Destination to "ISO Image File" 4) Check box to Launch DVD Decrypter 5) Click ok, and let do it thing. Remember to close all other programs and windows. Run only Shrink, Decrypter will run automatically.
