Rip a Rental?

[blarb]

Theoretically, of course, could I rent a DVD from the Video store, copy it's contents to my hard drive, and then somehow convert it & burn it to a VCD that will play on my DVD player? What are the step-by-step instructions for this task???

Thankz,
Blarb

Absolutely. It's illegal, but _theoretically_ you could

The step-by-step instuctions are here, click on 'Convert' on the left side. Or email me at davidvantrease@adelphia.net and I'll tell you the procedures I use, which I've had excellent results with.

My two bits of advice to get you started are

1 Find and download something called VCD galaxy - its an all in one program that does everything you will need. You can find it at http://www.afterdawn.com

2 When starting out do not try and create SVCDs (super video CDs) instead go for VCDs, they are much less hassle to create for the beginner

Have fun

I forgot to mention that I do not have a DVD ROM drive in my computer. So I guess that means no?

Sorry. No.

Do I need a $500 DVD Writer or just a $50 DVD Reader?

[neomaine]

please...just the dvd-rom, for at LEAST a year or so...(price, experience....)

[pinoy2201]

please read the guide on the right and please only use the guides to backup your own DVD...renting a DVD and Ripping it is illegal and if you get cuaght your going to have a big lawsuit on your hands
