DVD movies are too big to burn straight to DVD-R anyway.

What programs are you using? Is this a replacement DVD drive? What brand is it? Can you take it back and swap it for another brand?

Download DVD shrink
www.dvdshrink.org/what.html This is the "ripper" program. Buy Nero 6.0 (download it for free and try it here) www.nero.com/us/index.html This is the "burner" program. DISABLE AUTOPLAY! DISABLE AUTOPLAY! DISABLE AUTOPLAY! Buy a couple of DVD rewritable disks and play around with it. |

It's a TDK internal drive, and it came bundled with Roxio DVD burner software. I'm gonna need that X-dvd thing, I think.
Edit - I'll try the above... |

The people that make DVD X-Copy were sued out business by the movie industry. But no worry DVD-shrink will do the same thing and it is free.

DVDdecrypter will rip your movies to your HD.
DVD shrink will reauthor it to fit a DVD 4.7 Nero will burn it to the DVD 4.7 Simple yet effective. |

What's with the dual layer disks or whatever? I bought a burner that was supposed to burn dual layer (or something like that) disks and now I can't find any disks.

I thought it was a violation of the law to even attempt to bypass the copy protection features of a DVD that was so encoded - even if it was for your own personal use.
The DVD X-COPY software was taken off the market after they lost a law suit to the entertainment industry. The parent compnay folded, too. Am I incorrect about this? |

I agree that it's "fair use" as described by law to have a personal copy that you haven't loaned out, etc. (search for "save betamax" in a search engine for even more info).
The multiple Disney DVD's we've purchased (which we already had on VHS) are well-used by the kidlets, so I finally made use of "fair use" and backed them all up and now they watch the copies. They're still hard on them, but I can dig out the original when needed. DVD XCopy works on most all of them. The makers of this software (321 Studios) was sued by the studios and lost on court. They went out of business a few months ago. I still use the Express version, very simple and works great for most titles...not all. A few others have popped up on store shelves. The one from Intervideo says it won't decrypt the CSS encryption on DVD's. ICopyDVDs2 is out, but it also does not do the decryption. A free version is DVDShrink...again you have to have your own decryption of CSS. I'd say the most well-known of these is DeCSS...it's free and you'll need about 10GB of free hard drive space. While most of these work well with a 700MHz PIII computer, it'll take an hour or three to process. With a fast burner and a 2-3GHz machine with lots of memory, figure a half-hour. |

You can get dual layer disc but don't bother looking for awhile, online dual layer disc start at about $12 each. Use Single layer for now and in 6-8 months dual layer disc will get affordable. |

"Format Shifting" is considered fair use.. reburning a DVD, or copying a purchased DVD to VHS for personal use is totally kosher.
I use DVD Shrink.. works like a champ |

Listen to me -
DVD Shrink WILL decrypt DVD's just fine. For that one percent of DVD's that DVD Shrink can'd decrypt then use Smart Ripper or DVD Decrypt.

It was true at one time DVD-Shrink would not decrypt DVDs. That is no longer true it will do it all now. |

one more tag-along question, what media is best to use? My burner says it does +R at 16x but -R at 8. Wouldn't it be better to use +R then?

You have a 16X speed burner?
Wow.... FWIW, use the media that your computer/stand alone DVD player will be able to read. All of my computers/stand alone DVD players can read + or - media. I go with what's cheaper.

Depends on what plays in your DVD player; I've has most luck with -R.
BTW, your DVD player plays at 1X, so speed really doesn't matter; alot of the time, depending on your setup, burning at high speed doesn't work and you have to slow it down. |

Both formats will work fine in most newer DVD players, but if your DVD player is older go to: www.videohelp.com/ Look in the DVD player section for your player to see what DVD recordable formats are compatible with it. |

On a totally unrelated note, this has nothing to do with the thread and I'm not implying anything...but...Block Buster has an Unlimited Movie Pass for $24.95 per month. You can get as many movies as you want during the month but can only have 2 rented at the same time. Assuming you can watch 2 movies in 4 hours and Blockbuster is open 14 hours a day, you can easily

DVd-R seems to be the most compatible with players out there.
You have a 16X burner? Great. Problem is discs rated for 16X are expensive and hard to find. I use Ritex 8X excuslively and havent had a coaster in months.. Your burning speed really doesn't make much difference, because ripping the DVD's takes the most time, usually 20-30 minutes, while burning is less than 20.. I use DVD Shrink and Clone DVD.. |

DVD shrink is great, it removes regions and doesn't add the 'this is a backup'. Edited to add: I tried copying a DVD Xcopy Platinum backup with DVD Xcopy Platinum and it wouldn't. Switched to DVD Shrink. ByteTheBullet (-: |

With Netflix you can get 3 movies at a time, have to wait for them to be mailed to you and wait for the new ones to be mailed back. It takes about 5 days to get the movies turned around. Even at their most expensive level of 8 movies out at a time you can only average 1 movie per day and that is only 6 days a week because of no mail on Sunday. Blockbuster is 3 minutes away from me. I can easily get 4 movies a day, 7 days a week. So max of 30 movies from Netflix or 180 from Blockbuster. It's a pretty easy choice to make. |
