Hey guys. I'm looking for some help. I have five DVD+RW discs of a cross-country road trip that I took that I recorded on my Sony Handycam DCR-DVD108. They play in my DVD player, they play in my computer... but I hate putting them in one at a time and I want to consolidate them into one disc. I have a Mac, but I also have a PC available (the problem with the PC is it only has 890ish MB avail so not enough to backup even one disc to HD). I seem to be completely lost... I have had no problems with DVD Shrink backing up DVDs (ie: motion pictures), but I can't get my home movies to backup, and not being able to use DVD Shrink on a Mac also doesn't help. I tried downloading Mac the Ripper and OSEx and I have had no luck. How would I go about this? Directions on both Mac and PC welcome.
For a PC is easy, just rip the DVDs to your hard disk with DVD Dcrypter for example, and then reauthor/combine the DVDs to one with DVD Shrink. For MAC, not so many freebies available. Instead of DVD Shrink you need to use Roxio toast or DVD2OneX http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/125996
dvd shrink wont have menus so 5 films will play one after the other. cam recorders i think are dvd(VR) format, dvd shrink wont do these. i think nero vision will handle copying 1:1 and probably editing too? camcorder = no protection, so do easy windows copy and paste folders across to HD for nero. use dvd flick v1.3 its free and has menus, just add cut up files to it.
Anything for a Mac? That's for PC, but the PC has no HDD space:~)! Could buy another HDD, even a used 30GB one, probably would be cheaper than buying the applications for Mac, since you can do everything with free stuff on a PC.
