I want to copy a dvd i bought and let my daughter play it on her new dvd player Im no good at this sort of thing and really need help. The dvd is 6.60 gigs and my dvd record and rewrite are only 4.7. All i want to do is copy the film and have no titles in it or other crap! i just want the film to fit on a 4.7 gig dvd disk. Ive also heard the disks have copy protection ? anyway could you please help me out with this headache please ? Ive tried various software and its driveing me crazy. So please can you speak to me in a way i can understand thats easy ? Thanks Beatdis
1st off check your daughters model no. of stand alone DVD Player here to check that it will play either DVD-R or +R (RW) http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers I use these for back ups: DVD Decrypter DVD2One Nero [bold]DVD Decrypter[/bold] (Movie Only) Rip all the VOBs that are 1Gb & the title set IFO of the same VTS number. A typical VIDEO_TS folder of a DVD is similar to : VIDEO_TS BUP 16,384 VIDEO_TS IFO 16,384 VIDEO_TS VOB 43,008 VTS_01_0 BUP 77,824 VTS_01_0 IFO 77,824 VTS_01_0 VOB 1,695,744 VTS_01_1 VOB 1,073,565,696\ VTS_01_2 VOB 1,048,565,696 \ <-- This is the Main movie VTS_01_3 VOB 1,048,565,696 / VTS_01_4 VOB 589,365,248 / VTS_02_0 BUP 18,432 VTS_02_0 IFO 18,432 VTS_02_0 VOB 43,008 VTS_02_1 VOB 6,014,976 So the VOBs would be automatically chosen by Decrypter so you'd just need to also select VTS_01_0 IFO 77,824 Rip... (copy protection & region will be removed) [bold]DVD2One[/bold] Choose the source folder (where you ripped files to) Select the destination folder (empty) Movie-Only from drop down box , 4472mb as filesize output & [bold]constant[/bold] compression if the movie is only 2 hrs or so but if over 2 hrs 30mins you might wanna change to [bold]variable[/bold] instead. Next... Choose the title set , should only be one line if doing movie-only but it is always the longest time - eg: 1:58:06 (whereas sometimes there is 0:12:36 title which maybe extras) Next... AC3 6CH , whichever subs you want , Angle 1 Start. [bold]Nero 6 Ultra[/bold] DVD-Video Add files from destination to red VIDEO_TS folder & hit burn icon. JOB DONE
Thanks herbsman Ive done every thing youve said and it worked ok I tried one on my dads dvd player but it just opened the drawer and wouldant play. I noticed it has audio-ts and video-ts, why dont they have just one folder ? i looked in the audio-ts and there isant any files, so why dont they just have one video-ts ? I think my dads dvd player is just funny ? becouse he had a copied film before and it played ? maybe i did something wrong?. Anyway thanks for the reply Beatdis
Yes there are DVD Players that are a little fussy about how the disc is backed up. For instance my sister has an old LG model that will not play +R media & the back up has to have a menu (go figure) !!; )
