Aaron Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 DVD Decrypter. And if its too large to fit on a 4.7gb disc, you can then use DVD Shrink to cut out unneeded extras, and/or compress the media slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougartrace Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 HP claimed that DVD X COPY rewrites your DVD writer drivers and you can't do anything to resolve besides recovery. I didn't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 lol that's very lame all cd-roms use cdrom.sys imapi.sys etc.. from ms, and if they were to change it i'm sure sfc would complain about it yes if your dvd is 4.7gb disc (I don't believe much of the movie dvd's are like that these days) u can use dvd decrypter its something that I use very often too. with dvd dectrypter u copy the source right away. with dvd shrink u can copy and compress at the same time, some say that's bad for the dvd-rom but I hardly believe that and even so i could get a new one if it breaks, cd/dvd-roms are the cheapest components these days..

ArmyDoc Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 DVD Shrink - I've backed up dozens of DVD's and not a problem encountered so far. It will back up as an iso which will burn with just about any available burning program. Quality is excellent - a 2 hour movie compressed to a single 4.7 GB DVD looks perfect on my 82 cm, widescreen TV (although I did cut out the extra's and unwanted/unneeded languages/subtitles).

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 First I used DVD Decrypter, but there aren't enough options for me. (at least not in the GUI)Now I'm using CloneDVD and AnyDVD, it works SUPERB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I recompress them with xvid with Gordian Knot and leave them on the video server. Mostly it's the kids movies - which they watch over and over again - and that would easily get scratched. Otherwise I don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
