can i copy dvd to dvd if i have dvd rom & dvd writer

[vesterlee]

i have a movie thats only 90 minutes long can i copy it like i would a regular cd r to cd r. i sthis possible without all the hassle of shrinking everything?

[vesterlee]

ok i have nero 5.5.8.2 and the wizard has a dvd copy section. i think its a dvd to dvd 1 to 1 copy program, has anyone used it yet and if so please provide instructions.

I'm not thinking you can do it on the fly, but you can generally do it very easily as ISO images. I use DVD decrypter to make one single image file on my hard drive, and then burn with any burning program that supports disc images (generally all of them)... Ulead, DVDit, etc. Shorter discs like Austin Powers 1, Gattaca, Tron, and so forth, are very easy to copy in this fashion. No shrinkage or editing necessary. The movie is so short that the original DVD is less than 4.3GB and fits easily on a DVDR.

You don't get to do spiffy stuff like removing P-uops and so on, but it's a fair tradeoff for having SUCH an easy copying process.

Remember that due to CSS encryption, it will be a while before you can go DVD-DVDR on the fly, since it would have to read, analyze, decrypt AND burn on the fly, and do this all without massive errors or stutters. It would be like the infancy of CDR back when we all obsessed on buffer underruns and had to close everything we were running except explorer and the burning software to have any chance of not making a coaster.

do u have a guide for putting images on hardrive and burning to dvd r. i have dvdit program, what elase do i need?

[mpb]

You won't need a guide, honestly. It's that easy.

fire up your kazaa lite, and download dvd decrypter and Ulead DVD factory. toss your DVD in the drive, fire up dvd decrypter, and set it to ISO mode, and just tell it to start. After it's done, toss in your blank disc, fire up UDF, select "burn from an image", and load the ISO image that dvd decrypter just made for you, and hit "make DVD". That's it.

thanks for the info for burning images. this is a whole lot easier and faster. i have copied movies all day. even ones i didn't think would fit.

toss your DVD in the drive, fire up dvd decrypter, and set it to ISO mode, and just tell it to start.

"Set it to ISO mode"? I was unable to find such a setting in DVD Decrypter.

Little help?

[vesterlee]

go to mode and then scroll down to iso and check read

ok let say you do an ISO of the DVD, but when you do the iso of it, isn't it like 7 to 8 gig long, and to put it to DVD-r...hmmm explain a little more please

[PimpInDaHouse]

You have to reencode it so it can fit.

[genocyber]

Yeah but couldn't you also rip the video and the stream that you want, and then burn it to the CD as an ISO DVD...i had noticed that DVD Decrypter can do that.....just kind wondering
