Burning

Ok, first off not sure if this is the right forum I should be in, so if not, just direct me elsewhere. Basically I just want to know what program I should use to burn DVDs. Whether it be an actual dvd or a dvdrip.

 

imgburn

dvdrip<--- ? you mean just a main movie from an original dvd?

imgburn

dvdrip can mean a couple of things like being an avi...

dvdrip to avi to dvd ----> convertXtoDVD

 

There are a few options for backup software

freeware

1. dvdfab decrypter to rip dvd shrink to transcode then nero, imgburn or dvd decrypter to burn.

2. ripit4me (not being used as much it got pulled by the man)

pay programs

1. clonedvd 2 +anydvd 21 day free trial updates for life very easy to use etc.

2. dvdfab platinum

to make a copy of a backup you can use a disc copier like nero or use dvd decrpter ISO read ISO write

Thanks guys, yeah I was referring to like avi to dvd. So thanks for the help. A friend of mine referred me to nero, but I can only find the trial version, and that won't even install (keeps asking me to reboot), so I'm just going to junk that. I'll try the convertxtodvd Rotary.


Ok, the convertxtodvd puts a watermark on the video since it's the trial version. Is there anything else out there that I don't have to buy, that doesn't put a watermark, or any advertisement on there?

 

i use TFM its a free app and very good on 99% of files...

 

WinAVI is an option. You can download a copy from Software here at AD. The Nero Vision from the Nero suite is what I use. The Nero trial is full fucntion, so the Nero Vision would be present. That trial doesn't mark the video output. Too bad you can't get it loaded.

 

There is also a program called Dvd Flick.

 

thanks to all the responses. I'm at work right now, will test these when I get home tonight, and post the results. Thanks.

 

Good luck. We've named a few programs, but you can look around the software sections of different forums and find all kinds of software. Avi2Dvd is an interesting title. LOL You can check that out in software here at AD. I'd advise using one of the easier programs unless you're handy with software.

 

avi2dvd is very hit and miss these days pacman...

 

LOL I mentioned that one for name effect mostly. That's similar to a program for putting a couple of DVDs on one, DVD2One. I figured since Avi2Dvd used CCE and some of the better free encoders for processing, it might do a decent job. I'd heard good things about it in the past. What happened to it?

 

slightly bugged the gui is awesome and if you can get it to go its good...

i use TFM The FilmMachine very very simarlar and free uses cce, love it

 

Ok, first off thanks for all the replies. 2nd, I went ahead and used DVD flick, and I got Nero working. As for the DVD Flick, once it finished the encoding of the movie, it said complete, but it didn't tell me where the file went. I tried looking in the DVD FLick folder in my programs, but I can't find the finished result anywhere.

 

look on you're HD or in My Documents

when you find it rename the file so its easy to find again

 

Thanks ZoSoIV, got it working. And thanks to everyone else who contributed.

 

great now rename it lol

 

You're welcome. I try, but you're lucky you had Rotary, ZoSoIV and soup1. Hope you've got everything up and running the way you want it.
