| I need some advice on dvd burning software. My sister has a version of Roxio CD software that is supposed to be able to copy DVD's, but don't most commercial burning products get bogged down by CD/DVD copy protection? I placed a DVD in the drive and ran the software, and it recognized the movie as a "protected disk". Does this mean that it won't burn it effectively? What are some good programs that bypass these protective features? I know that back in the day CloneCD and Nero Burning Rom were good choices for protected software and music CD's. Any recommendations? |
| I use DVDFab, it eliminates the CSS built into most DVDs. It can operates in 2 modes, one in which you can copy it at 1:1 quality on 2 disk or 1:1 on a single double layer in its standard mode and in its express mode, it can copy at a lower resolution a complete disc on a standard single layer disk with resolution still higher than VCR tape. All my working copies of movies I buy are copied by this method and I really cannot tell the difference between the working copy and the orginal on a big screen, maybe on a HD TV, but I haven't tried that yet. |
-Yeeeaaaa, but,,,,,, -I don't care. If you want to watch DVD's on your computer, many have a program "viewer plugin" that they want you to install, and then you can only watch the movie with Windows Media Player. Independent security sites online say that the plugin-program uses Windows Media Player to track what DVD's you watch. Quite simply, screw that. If they want to know what movies I watch on my computer, they can pay me for the honor. Ripping a DVD only takes a few minutes with DVDdecrypter, and then you don't gotta install any "viewer plugins", and you can still watch it with any media player software you want. As to making illegal copies, yes that is then possible also--but I have yet to come across a Hollywood product I would consider worth wasting the price of a blank DVD disk on. For that matter, I don't think I can remember any Hollywood movies since 1998 that I would care to waste a blank DVD on.... ~ |
