Copying DVD's - Software??
 

Whats the best app to get for copying a dvd directly to another dvd? I finally got a dual layer dvd burner and wanna copy some dvd's that my friend has, and he wants some dvd's I have.. Let me know what you've found to work the best to get menus and everything if possible...

321Studio's DVDxCopyXpress has been the best single piece of software I've used. You can find the old version (only the old versions work fully, because they were sued by the MPAA and were forced to take off the dvd decryption method) on networks such as Kazaa Lite K++, or bit torrent. Look for any version from 2.5 to 3.1

:thumbsup

I use CloneDVD with AnyDVD works well, it take about 1 hours to decode and burn the DVD. I have a slow computer so it take a lot of time :(

PC - DVDShrink
Mac - DVD Backup With DVD2One

Awesome!!! Thanks for the help everyone.. running a test backup now with DVD Shrink..

Guys I know that shrink is free and all that, but is the one with the worst quality of all transcoders. The best two are Pinnacle Instantcopy and Intervideo DVD copy 2. Intervideo is much faster and works good when the source is 6 gigs at most. If your source is bigger than that, go with Instantcopy.
None of these two programs work with 'protected' disks, so you'll need anydvd installed (best) or dvd decrypter to bypass css

Here's a great article, almost an year old but still true to fact

I have Xpress and DVD X Copy, both are great.

With Xpress, it let's you put the full DVD on 1 disc, but eliminates the menu options, which works for me.

DVD X Copy let's you use the menu, but usually requires 2 DVD's to make, unless it's only an hour DVD.


My question is this. If I had to reformat my drive and re-install my programs, would this program still work and make copies or do they make you log into their web site and add a file that doesn't let you copy them anymore? (rumor I heard)

I still have my programs working, but I'm scared to reformat for fear of losing that ability.

That's what I use, one click and that's it. Don't know about the formatting and reinstalling thing though. I think XP has a function to "move" a program and all it's associated files. Now might be a good time for me to give that a try.

Hey, in the thread giving a shirt away can I post with my b/f pass word?


:)

Alcohol 120% is a pretty neat tool for that.

Absolutely not...

Ok, I thought I would ask first.


:glugglug

Can I ask why?

Shrink is a great program...
