I just got nero 7 the other day. I got it because it looked simple to use. All I really want to do is back up my DVD's onto my hard drive and make copies of them when needed. I also want to put those DVD's onto my iPod and PSP when needed. On nero's box it says it does both. So far I can't do either. I would think for a $80 program you and put a DVD in and do whatever you want with it. As far as coping DVD's it says they are copy protected. And the DVD to MPEG4 I have no clue. Thanks in advance.
You will find that MOST, if not ALL commercial DVDs are copy protected. If you want to back them up then you will need a program such as AnyDVD (to break copy protection) and then use Nero Recode....as for AVI files or MPEG files you can use NeroVision, as per my basic guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/356114/2104525 Check out the GUIDES tab at the top of the page re your ipod queerie. AnyDVD is available for a 21 day trial from here http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html?aid=50022
