Best Tutorial for...

[BrentD]

Which is the best tutorial on this website if you were in this situation:

I have a dvd-+r/rw writer and a cdr/rw writer in my PC. I guess I am wanting to copy a full dvd to my hard drive and then burn it on dvd-r since I don't have a dvd reader besides the one in my writer.

Whats the best tutorial or tools to do this with?

I don't think it really matters if your reader is rw or not, when you're ripping the dvd to your hd.

Hi all.

BrentD, it all depends what software(s) you intend to use.

If DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, Nero or burnatonce, I can highly recommend the guides at

I made them.

I think I know what you mean. Install AnyDVD and CloneDVD. The you put dvd movie disk in writer drive, wait till CloneDVD sets up files, then replace that disk with a blank DVD and burn. You don't need to rip to the hard drive separately. Look for tutorials under "DVD to DVDr using CloneDVD"

Ok I tried the clonedvd, I placed the original dvd into teh dvd player/writer, opened clonedvd and did as the help file with it told me to do, it gets to 59% everytime and then I get an error which I have attached to this post. Any clue why I get this everytime?

Also if it does complete 100% will it ask me to remove the original dvd and put my dvd-r into the writer so it can write what it just copied?

[tweedledee]

Yes, it will ask you to remove the movie and insert a blank DVD. I use a DVD rom drive to read and put the blank in the burner so I can go away and pick it up when ready.
The problem you have is new to me, mavbe a really 'cluey' guy like "the Village idiot" or "FOO" or "tommyknocker" can help.

Can I ask? Have you tried another DVD? Have you tried ripping with dvd-decrypter and loading that way (just to see if it works)
It may be a disk error due to a scratch.

Yep I just successfully did my first rip and burn with another dvd, so it must be this dvd, it does have a few scratches on it

Thanks everyone for your help, you are da bomb!!!!
