As I understand you just want to save it to hard drive. The wizard will choose the source (DVD) and to copy to a temp file. At this point create a folder that has name of movie example C:\DVD\name, then Fab will make it C:\DVD\name\DVD and this is where you want to save. Make sure the delete when through is not on. Under the last \DVD\ there will be two more folder created by Gold but you do not have to worry about them. Choose your burner in the third chioce which is target. When it asks for a DVD close gold. When you go to play or do something to the movie you will find it at C:\DVD\name\DVD and do not worry about the 2 sub folders unless you want to edit. It has been awhilw since I did this so let me know if you need to know more. There is a good tutorial at the product page for Gold which is still working. dvdidle.com and select products the goal, more info. I am at work for about 7 more hrs but if needed when I get home I will get better instructions.
