Copy of a Copy

[CHayes1126]

I dont know if this is possible or not but I was just wondering, is it possible to make a copy of a copy? Havnt tried yet but I would think the disk would not read as a normal DVD and can not be recopied. Am I right?

.....is it possible to make a copy of a copy?

YES

......Havnt tried yet ...........

I would suggest you do. What do you have to loose??? a $1 disk?

fyi : once your DVD is compressed and put on a 4.38Gb burnable DVD, second and multigenerational copying is a simple act of DISK COPY.

And thats why the Movie studios are so freaked out. Once you remove the copy protection and compress down to a regular DVDR or better yet not compress but use the Dual Layer drive and DL-DVDRs, you can make copy after copy after copy and never lose one iota of quality.

But for sake of argument, lets say they are just your family home movies on DVDR. That is a good thing since you can make endless copies for the relatives to look at.

Why bother with sticky post

[Madz]

Maybe he missed the sticky. *shrug* Just rip the backup w/ DVDDecrypter in ISO mode and burn it. You'll have another exact dupe. I bought a portable player and made seconds for its use; much less time-consuming than running the commercial originals thru DVDShrink again.

Why rip when you can just copy? Once it's been ripped, there's nothing stopping him from a straight disc to disc copy with Roxio or Nero, right?

[Hardcoreruss]

He should rip as there is less chance of errors when copying on the fly.

Dvd decreypter in ISO mode all the way pal

[ViRaL1]

You don't HAVE TO copy on the fly if you don't want to. Not knocking DVD Decrypter, just going for simplicity.

Not to mention common sense as well. I do believe people should have atleast a basic knowledge of PC's before getting into DVD recording. It can simplify things quit a bit for you.

Now that brand new, store-bought PCs with built-in DVD burners can be had for a few hundred dollars, we'll likely be seeing a lot more of the same. Especially with all the different DVD apps out there. Your average movie burner / ripper / copier / whatever is getting closer to John Q Public and farther from John Dvorak.
