"Copy to DVD" expired what other freeware can I us

[Alfer]

I'm probably going to buy Copy To DVD, but I wanted to see if there are any other Freeware programs like it..I ripped a DVD w/ DVD Shrink and when I went to copy, I realized C.T.D. was expired.

Can anyone point me to a fairly easy to use copy program?

Thanks a bunch!

Use dvd shrink and nero. This combo has never let me down.

Is Nero a freeware now?

Your best bet: AutoShrinkISO

Freeware tools to d/load:

DVD Decrypter - to rip and/or backup DVD5 discs, & to burn IMG files

DVD Shrink - to compress most DVD9 rips to DVD5 size

IMG Tools - to generate an ISO image of your VIDEO_TS folder/backup

DVD Fab - to spilt DVD9 to two DVDR discs (and other features)

IFOEdit - 'nuff said

AutoShrink is a program that bundles DVDShrink/ImgTool/DVD Decypter into one nice point and click package. As an aside DVD Shrink will NOT copress all DVD9 discs enough to fit on one DVDR disc. Not sure why or which discs cause this, but I've had it happene a few times and checking out the discussions here and at doom9.org there's nothing you can do about it.

Don't know how good it is, but thereis a burning tool called burn4free

If burning to DVD-R(W)s you might also want to try burnatonce.

Ok..I downloaded burnatonce, but can't figure out how to take the files from my VIDEO_TS file that I created when I used DVD Shrink so I tried to download IMG Classic from http://www.coujo.de/ib/index.php?act=html_include&incl_name=download

It seemed to download fine, but when I open the file, WinZip pops open and says it can't open the file because there doesn't have a valid archive.

How do I fix this??

All help is appreciated.

Anxious to just get the one dvd burned and watched.

Have you checked the link to the guide I posted: http://www.dvdshrink.info/burnatonce.php

When you say "the VIDEO_TS file you created with DVD Decrypter", you mean the VIDEO_TS folder, right?
Also, is its size small enough to fit on a DVD-R?
If not, you will have to compress it.
If you want to keep the process free, I'd suggest DVD Shrink v3.0 beta 5.

If you don't mind paying for a software: DVD2One, DVD95Copy, CloneDVD, Nero Recode (part of the Nero 6 package), etc etc

dd I PM'd you but to answer your question,

I used DVD Shrink and got all my files loaded to my Video_TS file on my HD and it's ready to go 4.66 gigs big.

Now my problem is that burnatonce doesn't show any of my drives..specifically my NEC1300a DVD burner..none listed in the "Write Drive" drop down at all.

Any thoughts??

Thanks all for your help!
p.s. Love the tutorial dd..it has helped me understand BAO.

Hi Alfer,

I have replied to your PM, and suggested you check the burnatonce official forums.

Is Nero a freeware now?

If you consider it comes with many drives, in that context, yes.

DVDShrink and DVDDecryptor....and maybe IMG tools and Daemon tools as a test.
