aerosigns Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I want to burn copies of some of my DVD's. What is the best program. I know that some will be protected and unable to copy them, that's fine. But what am I going to find at Best Buy, etc. that works the best for making my own copies for the garage. I hate taking my good versions to a dusty and dirty environment. Any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have used several different programs and right now Nero is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerosigns Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Will either of the programs you guys have mentioned let me use a single DVD burner? or am I going to have to have two? I didn't look at the pocket link. It tried to start loading and .exe program when I clicked on the link, so I wacked that. Do you guys have any problems with either set up? I used to use Nero to burn CD's and it was slow. But that could have been more a product of my system at the time. My current CPU is only a few months old. 2Gb/500Gb. Heck my first computer only had 3k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Will either of the programs you guys have mentioned let me use a single DVD burner? Nero will. Most others will too. Do you guys have any problems with either set up? Burning DVDs can be a pain in the butt. I have made a few coasters. You will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipscbob Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Unfortunately the majority of new releases contain some form of copy protection beyond the DES......Google RIPIT4ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlcrouch Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) I use MagicISO for copying home made DVDs and software install CDs- don't know about copy protection. I make an ISO file directly to disk and then burn the ISO to a blank DVD. Edited February 23, 2007 by dlcrouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 DVD Shrink is good, but not enough if any of your disks uses the newer forms of copy protection. Get RipIt4Me. ( http://www.ripit4me.org/) It uses DVD Shrink and a couple of other tools to do its magic (it will install them for you.) Save the ripped DVD to an .ISO image and use imgburn to burn the DVD.

George Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 on a mac, mactheripper to deal with the decryption, then toast titanium to burn. Ayup, this will remove any form of protection out there AND it makes the new copy region free. You end up with an un-encrypted, region-free DVD after you are done. Scan the label of the original and use the image to make a label with the satin film labels CD Stomper makes and you can hardly tell the difference from the original except for one little detail, it's UN-ENCRYPTED and REGION-FREE!!!! It will also crack out just the main feature ifn'ya wanna' make pod vid later on ;-) I keep a copy of it stowed here (page 2): http://applescore.com/download/Software/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Any DVD + Clone DVD I've been using it for a year and a half and it's great. The kids are hard on DVDs on a long road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKJ Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 if you have to re-encode to fit in dvd5 use DvdRebuilder with HC/ CCE and then burn it with DvdDecrypter or imgburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullzeye Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I have used DVD shrink with DVD decrypter with moderate success. Tried using DVD shrink with my version of Nero and had problems. May use the ANY DVD and clone DVD program next. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I had mixed success with DVD Shrink. After I compressed the video, I would often get audio issues (depending on how the video was encoded). DVD Shrink was created to compress Dual Layer movies so they would fit on a (cheaper) Single Layer DVD. The trick is that not all compression software is equal. I have seen a noticeable difference in movie quality depending on the 'shrinking' software. Of course, if you are watching the movie on a 480 line monitor/TV you won't tell as much of a difference. After you remove the encyrption / copy protection, DVD Copy by Intervideo has worked extremely well for me. However, it is not freeware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) DVD X Copy Platinum has been very good for me. It works fine with the newer copyright schemes. Edited April 4, 2007 by ima45dv8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
