  1. Hi
    I'm looking at some progs and wondered how good they were?

    and what about DVD Copy X but I guess that would mean I need a DVD copy drive.

    redcow, ignore the spammer, and just take a look at the handy dandy buttons on the left side of your browser window. they'll see you right and not put ten dollars of your hard earned into someone's pocket as 'reward' for sticking a load of quickly downloadable freeware utils onto a cd..

    Back after a long time away, mainly because I now need to start making up vidcapped DVDRs for work and I haven't a clue where to start any more!

  5. The thing that I find amazing is that they claim that you can copy DVDs on to CD-Rs, but not on to DVD-Rs. I've never understood the logic behind that, even before I knew anything about DVD-R. Don't waste your money. If you're just looking to back up DVD's on to VCD's, all you need is a couple of freeware progs and you're set. When I was doing VCDs I used EasyVCD and VCDEasy, but there are plenty that will do what you want, and they're almost all free. As Eddy said, it just pisses me off seeing people trying to rip people off by charging them for something that they could've gotten for free (legally) if they had just looked around a little.

    the uneducated are too lazy to look around. these guys would have made a killing before the DMCA.

  8. I don't think Rond66 was trying to spam anyone (well maybe he was but who knows). It looks like he only copied and pasted all the details from the website.

    The prog isn't a bunch of freeware progs on a disk. It is the only all in one prog I know of. You simply put the DVD movie in the DVD rom tray and a CDR in the CDR tray, make the selection of VCD, SVCD, or Divx, select media size and wait (some other tweaks for the expert).

    It rips, converts, and burns the movie.

    I beleive after installing the prog you run an auto update installer and it will select a plug in for your burn prog.

  9. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT...................DO NOT ever pay for any programs to rip to CD-R

    look at this great guide...most proggies are either freeware or shareware:

  10. i understand that most are freeware and shareware. i've always used smartripper, dvd2avi, tmpgenc, and nero to burn. that is a FOUR STEP process.

    this prog by cosmi is like freakin' ronco. "just set and forget it"

    i've backed up over 150 dvd's using the four progs i mentioned above, but it was a lot of trial and error and a hump load of time.

    for someone who just wants to pop in a dvd and back it up fast. the cosmi prog is the way to go.
