[offthehookpain]

Hi i am new to this and was wondering if sum1 could tell me how to copy a DVD movie to a VCD is there a way of copying it directly or will it need ripping to my HDD first?

p.s i dont have a dvd player on my pc.

> i dont have a dvd player on my pc.

If you mean DVD ROM (or DVD reader) then you're going to have a problem getting anything from a DVD to your system (although looking at your profile it appears that you don't even have a computer on your pc.

First buy a dvd-rom,they are less than $50 and then use dvd2svcd to make your vcd.

lol....i ment DVD-ROM

So its not possible with out a DVD-ROM?

A little of topic but if i had a DVD writer can i copy a DVD movie to a DVD-R with out the need for a DVD-ROM?

You can with a dvd burner.Might be slower if the ripping speed is locked depending on the make.

Exactly how did you expect to get the stuff off the DVD ?

What is with all the stupid questions lately?

I don't have a computer. Can I rip a dvd

I don't have a computer. Can I rip a dvd

All you'd need is a DVD Recorder with internal Hard Drive, no ?

Possibly an XBOX with a Hard Drive mod ?

I know it makes the joke less funny, but I reckon you could do it without a computer if you really tried !

Are you related to this guy ?

I agree with giteel with all the stupid questions lately perhaps there should be a sticky for newbies- "TO DO ANY VIDEO STUFF WITH DVD'S YOU NEED A DVD-ROM & DVD BURNER"

I personally don't know what is with all of the sarcasm for newbies. After all, we were *ALL* newbies once.

However, that having been said, I simply won't respond to idiotic questions In any event, if something is important enough to you to come on to a public forum and ask a question about it, then I figure you should have the smarts to do a search....

shrug.

Good call. I guess there are certain things that people assume are/should be common knowledge.

That said, we WERE all newbies once...but I for one was "smart" enough to do some research before embarassing myself on a world stage.
