    i have no clue what i am doing.....im a newbie. i need software that will allow me to burn copies of dvd movies such as billy madison, Super Troopers, Pamala Andersons greatest hits (ahha yea i wish)
    But seriously i have been messing around with stuff and having no luck. I was told to get dvd x copy but then i heard there was a lawsuit and i couldnt get a copy. So if anyone know of a good software program that i dont have to do a million steps to use and where to get it i would so love u beyond fat kids loving cake (which i am one of those).... anyways i would love to say thanks in advance but not sure if i will get help.

    Interesting Sig.

    2 free programs ... DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter. To use this combo you need a pc using NTFS file system. Are you running either XP, Windows 2000 or NT? If so, great here's your steps.

    1) Get Shrink and Decrypter:
    http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm
    http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_decrypter.cfm

    2) Open Shrink, open disc
    3) Click "backup!"
    4) Change your target destination to "ISO Image File", then check the box to Launch DVD Decrypter

    Under the "backup options" tab, you can check [bold]perform deep analysis[/bold], this will improve picture quality in longer movies(if ya got the time, use it).

    5) Click ok.
    [bold]Run no other programs except Shrink(decrypter will run automatically).[/bold]


    Don't get XCopy ... Ask yourself $$$$ or Free?

    What do you mean, no? I haven't looked lately, but the cheapest dl burner is running around $90. Which one is $60?

    Dude ... [bold]It's up to you[/bold]. Run a search for dual layer burners, see what others think.

    chiknfukr,

    Ok ... there is a difference between dual layer and dual format burners.


    I've got TDK840G(think I paid around $150), and a NEC 2100A(came with pc), and NEC 2510($90)

    TDK 840G ... dual format burner
    NEC 2510 ... dual layer burner
    NEC 2100 ... +R only burner

    If ya do a search, you'll see people suggesting Plextor, LiteOn, Pioneer, and some Sony & NEC.

    chiknfukr,

    I would look to spend around $100. Get at least a dual format burner so you can burn both +R(RW) and -R(RW). You can try the dual layer burner which will burn both +/-R(RW) along with dual layer media.

    In case you didn't know. Most commercial dvd's are called dvd-9's which hold up to 7.95GB's. Blank media holds up to 4.72GB's(more like 4.35). So to go from dvd-9 to a blank you need to compress the movie(one example of a program that will compress ... DVD Shrink).

    One last suggestion, get good media to start(I recommend branded Verbatim's or branded Ritek's).
