Answer 1

The easiest dvd backup program that

I have found that works 100 percent of the

time is Clone DVD2 and Any DVD.  You need

both programs because Any DVD is a

decrypter, and Clone DVD 2 is a shrinker

(makes a larger dvd fit on a regular disc).

The nice thing about these programs is that

they both come with a 21 day free trial, with

no watermarks, time limits, etc. Click the

link below for the free trial.  Hope this

helps.

Hey brother....

Have you see the prices the the Home recorders?

The use DVD-R also (I like +R because I use "bitsetting"

to record my DVD movies. (Bit setting fools players into thinking it's reading a DVD-Rom like you buy in the store.

This only happens to me I'm sure.... I bought one of those HOME burners because I thought it would be faster also and I stuck it in and waited.. and waited. took some of THOSE to my friends place and they would even PLAY in his dvd player.. couldn't figure it out. Went back home hooked up my old dvd/vhs combo same result (wth!?? right)

It would ONLY play in the one I burned it in...

I took it back to the store. I some reading and guessing

and found DVD+R to be a better choice for ME because to the compatability of the disk in other players. DVD-R will not work in ALL players, it has to do with the compression rates.

Then after trying to but a damned home PLAYER only (still before I figured it all out) I went to Wal-Mart 3 times and bought players that I though was going to work and after you OPEN the box and start reading the booklet NONE of them "suggested" the use of -R disk (which I wanted to use because they were alsways Cheaper than +R where I live.

Look.. at tigerdirect.com or newegg.com you can get burners for you computer rom $19.99 on sale and 29.99 (I paid $29 for my samsung sh-s182m) and I haven't been happier, I can play the disk in any player so far... and Since the guys at digital-digest.com explained to me about compression, encoding, regions it will and won't like USA and canada make and sell region 1 disk and players not going to work on players anywhere else (I have family in Indonesia and friends in Brazil and I borrow from them when they come here and I rip and burn.. The program strips all encodings, and regions blocks and I burn a region-free, encoding free disk that can be played anywhere in the world. (I got smart and paid for a region free player for my home also that takes ANY format of DVD you put in it for like $89 (not bad!!)

The "wear" on your computer system is NOTHING! It's not like your burning up the system because your recorning a disk, dude! It's not like a car that "wears out". You can over heat a CPU from HIGH END gaming for hours and your system will shut down (it should if it over heats, protection for the CPU) No ones EVER burnt a system out making a few disk.I'm well into 300 disk burns and still get 92-95% burn quality disk, the first 100 or so were 95-98% But they are still to the human eye just as good... I see no flaws on the tv i watch them on. And yeah.. it CAN be slow but that is the way I burn them, for the BEST quality!

I think your trying to surf and other things while you burn...not recommended ever... BUT if you get home, stick a disk in let it burn, take a shower,  get dressed, cook,eat by the time you get to the computer it'll have already read it and it takes what 10 min to burn it? (reading always takes for ever it seems)

Btw.. they do make something called "a stand" alone burner that will work with your computer on or off and function as a normal burner. High dollar, but you can cheaper ones for about $300 (give or take a sale) supermediastore.com has the specs for disk and burners there.

PEACE

Hi Michael,

If they are not encrypted and DVD burner will copy them.

Just feed the composite out of the DVD player into the composite input of a DVD recorder and you can copy the DVDs.
