I just got a DVD-RW for christmas and I want to know what program you all recomend for DVD burning. I am not even sure if what I want to is possible: I want to make an exact copy of the movies I rent, menus and all. Is there any program that will ignore the fact that the DVD's are protected?

There are plenty of others, but these are what I use.

I just tried to burn something for the first time when I encountered a problem: when I place the DVD-R in the drive, windows fails to recognize it as a blank DVD. Sometimes it thinks that the DVD-RW drive is a CD drive (it actually changes the description in "My Computer") that cannot be written to, and other times it says that is an incomapatible storage device. The drive can dectect DVD-R's that have been written to already just fine.
Does this sound like the burner is the source of the problem or Windows is?

(To answer your question, to back up movies, the movie will need to be decrypted using DVD Decrypter or, my favorite, AnyDVD.)
I fucking hate DVDShrink. I've downloaded DVDs where people used it, and I always delete it. It always looks fuzzy and badly encoded.
I would recommend AnyDVD for decryption (does it on the fly, no need to rip to hard drive), and then use DVD2one for compression. You can either compress the whole disk, or extract and compress just the movie title. The compression will take from 10 to 20 minutes, so not long.

I know of atleast two people including me who had similar problems. Solution is to simply go to the manufacturers site and upgrade the firmware and you will be good to go. Try it Out....
