DVD Coping for Dummies

[LittleLL3]

I'm just lost.. Is there a guide anywhere that I can print that will help me with copying my DVD's. I have tired to copy a DVD for about a month now and I'm still so lost. Is there anyone that would be willing to hold my hand for the first one. If I can learn how to do the first one, I know I can do the rest without driving you guys crazy. Thank you

I can't even come close to affording 100.00 dollars for more software.

100 bucks where are you getting this at. you can do it with freeware. DVD Decrypter, Nero, IfoEdit , TMPGEnc ,and DVD2AVI.....

[pimp80]

check out www.doom9.org it is all freeware and very easy to follow and use

[musher70]

well, he asked for thr dummmies answer, guess he aint
having no luck with the freeware tools, if he can pop for
the burner whats a few more bucks anyway, when i got
my pioneer earlier in the year, media was 7 bucks a pop
but its a lot cheaper now....

Sorry Musher70, I have the freeware. I just can't get past the ripping. I keep getting errors msg. and I was wondering what I could be doing wrong. I'm trying to copy the DVD onto CD-R.

success rate when i dont,50/50 when i do,stripping audio

need to get spruce-up though

[LittleLL3]

Thank you Musher70, I don't care about menu's. I have 101 Dalmations in my hard drive, That I used Smartripper to rip. When I try to use DVDx the error message that I get is "Can't authenticate drive. What am I doing wrong and where do I go from here??

Thank you again so much

well that error you get in dvdx is normal just continue on with what you are doing.......

[LittleLL3]

Then all I get is a black screen and nothing happens...
