combo drives only READ dvd's and burn CD's. you can still rip them to your hdd with dvd decrypter.

if you want any software at all go to imesh.com and download the program on that page and it will let you download anyhthing.You can even download the newest microsoft stuff i.e.microsoft office xp and the best thing is that its all free.IF YOU HAVE BROADBAND GET THIS AND YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED.THE BEST THING IS THAT IT IS FREE AND HAS AN INBUILT VIRUS SCAN ON THE FILES YOU ARE DOWNLOADING SO YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET A VIRUS.Even still the first thing i downloaded off there was norton anti virus and firewall etc.

[quote name=\'ScissorHands\' date=\'Jan 7 2004, 05:03 PM\']You are all doing it the hard way.  There is a freeware program available now for backing up your DVD's.  It's called shrinkdvd.  

A normal dvd that you buy at blockbuster has 2 layers of data on it (9.4 Gig).  A blank dvd+r or dvd-r has only one layer (4.7 Gig).  So you either need to pull some of the data out of the burn (menu's, extra audio channels, subtitles, deleted scenes....) or you need to split it over 2 discs, or... you can recompress it to make everything fit on one disc instead of 2.  

Some movies will fit on 1 disc if you burn the movie only.  Others will fit menu's, movie, features, everything on just one disc (not many, but I have seen a good many in my collection).  But most of the time if you want to make a copy of the whole thing with features, menu's and everthing you will want to recompress.  

This program does a very good job of recompressing the move and can do it in as little as 20 minutes.  A single pass will take about 20 minutes.  A 2 pass analysis will take about an hour or so but with considerably better quality.  

Just for the record... I have a 9 foot screen with an LCD projector and yes I can see a small difference when I recompress, but that is on a 9 FOOT SCREEN!!! (Of course I know what to look for.  The average user will notice that the copy will be no different from the original unless you are using a HDTV of considerable size...... On my 36 inch TV it looks the same as original.  

Even if you watch on a 9 foot screen,  the recompress is great quality... very close to the original disc.

You can also choose to rip just the movie and not the features with this program.  This way you may not need to recompress.  If the movie alone is too big to fit the application will recompress it just a little so that it will fit.  (It really is a cool program.)

I have DVDXCOPY Platinum and Express, and Smartripper and DVD-Decrypter and DVD-Fab.  I spent more that my share on these items and I still choose ShrinkDVD for all of my latest backups.

Anyway,  you can download shrinkdvd from doom9 or just search google for it.


Hey It's free!!!  And works great.  


Oh yeah, you still need a program to burn the files that it produces (nero, easy-cd, whatever will let you burn dvd-video discs.....your burner probably came with what you will need.[/quote]
 Yup . I found it through nycsoftware.com after i got pissed at DVDXcopy the program is FREE and it works great

    A have to have program for ripping

Cheers!!!!

how do you burn dvds that are copy protected

[Guest]

Listen up everyone that wants to make back-ups of their dvds, or for anyone who wants to rent dvds and then burn them (let's cut the [censored])
USE DVD SHRINK!!
It's a freeware program that makes any dvd (including dual layer discs) fit on 1 (one) 4.7 Gig DVD-+R
Trust me, I was looking around for a while to find out how to do this, and I have found that this is the absolute easiest way.
Do a search for "dvd shrink", download it, read the instructions, and you will be more then pleased with how easy it is to do.

Once again in case anyone missed it, DVD SHRINK

I dont know how I came up on this topic but let me answer your prayers people. First of all your never going to get the quality of a dvd using SVCD, VCD or anything, and no you just cant burn dvds like you do with regular cds. If you dont have a dvd drive on your computer then theres no way you can burn dvds. You can however download .avi(divx,xvid) files on the internet(BitTorrent)and burn them on CD-R Disc(most .avi files are less then 700 mb)using Nero and burning it as a Data disc. Go to Wal-Mart and buy a dvd player which supports DivX files and it will play them easily and with great quality.

Now for people who want to make back up copies of dvds I'll tell you an easy way and the file will come out to be only 700 mb to be able to put it on a CD-R Disc. First you need to rip the DVD(decrypt it)and you can do this with a program called DVD Decrypter(its free). After that just get a free program called "AutoGK" and it will tell you step by step(which all you have to do is 3 easy steps that a child can do)with pictures how to encode this movie into a 700 mb Divx or XviD file. Then just use Nero or any other program to burn this as a Data Disc and you can play it on a standalone dvd player which supports DivX(they only cost 69.99).

You can also download mainly anything for free using BitTorrent, other p2p programs like Kazza, Imesh,Limewere suck and have spyware and many many viruses.

Heres the link for AutoGK  http://www.autogk.net/
and dvd decrypter here  http://www.dvddecrypter.com/
