Need Help - DVD Burning

Hey,

I need help with copying DVD to DVD for backup copies of DVD movies for safe keeping. I have the originals so this is all legal.
I have been to Doom9 and VCDHelp and have tried their processes with no success. Anyone know of a reasonably simple process or site that walks you through this process.

Really appreciate any help you can provide.

Lou
 
Doom9 is where I learned. Use Infoedit and cce from the guides. There is software called dvdxcopy for $100 but it works like crap and they actually hired the programmer who wrote infoedit to fix it.
 
All you need is

smartripper to rip/demacro/decrypt the ifo+vob files
DVD authoring to burn the desired tracks

The dvd authoring software should have come with your drive
 
Also remember that for some movies you cannot just simply make a copy onto a DVD-R/+R. They simply contain more data more than 4.7GB worth of data. You may need to rip, re-encode, then burn it onto a DVD...
 
Theres alot of software coming out that will make it a simple process. The guy who wrote infoedit also made something called dvdsplit which would split a dvd over 2 dvdr's. Unfortunatly its gonna be shelved before it got all the bugs worked out cause a company called 321studios hired him to fix dvdxcopy. DVDxcopy does, when it works, basically the same thing as dvdsplit does. Infoedit will also do this but its not made for morons which dvdxcopy is. Infoedit is also free, dvdxcopy costs $100.

321studios is the company that last year had the "copy dvd's without a dvd burner spam", they had 16000 affiliates and it turns out the software they were selling was just freeware.

There is hope with a new program that is called dvd2dvdr,I think, that will actually fit a dvd9 down to a dvd5 by re-encoding..and its free. I havn't tried it but it seems like its what people want. The one flaw I find with svcd is the # of disks so I certainly don't want multiple dvdr.

The new version of dvd-cloner is out. There's a free demo.

Just remember: Most movies WILL fit on 4.2 GB DVD-R without re-encoding. All you have to do is rip only the main title, and kill all the useless french audio streams.
