Christy, it's really a simple process from here.First of all do you know which burning program came with your DVD burner (I am assuming you do have a DVD burner). I have never used Smartripper, do you have Nero?

 

I do have Nero. The reason i used smartripper was because nero was giving me copy wright crap. Like i said i am very new at this. So any help would be appriciated. For all i know I may have ripped it wrong.

OK if you have NeroVisionExpress I can help you. Open NeroVision Express, Select Make DVD, open file where movie is stored, click ob this file and drag into Nero window. Hit next until you reach Burn, click Burn(after putting in blank DVD) and sit back and watch.....DONT multitask whilst movie is burning. Let us know how you go. HEY hold the bus, I just re read your thread and you mentioned Copy Right is this correct???

 

@Christy

First off welcome to AD hope you find the site usefull.

Second I wouldnt use NeroVision Express to make a copy of your DVD if you have Nero and have NeroVision express then you should have Nero Recode2 which is the Nero program you need to use. But in order for you to bebale to copy the DVD you need take the copy protection off the Movie.

You can do this by using a program called DVD Decrypter which you can download here -----> http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_decrypter.cfm

or

using AnyDVD which you can get a trial version of AnyDVD from http://www.slysoft.com

But first read below and look at the guide that shows you how to use DVD Decrypter and Nero Recode2. These guides are from ScubaPete a long time member of AD and has alot of information for you.

@ larrylje, thanks for redirecting to Petes site, I knew he had one but didn't know the link, Christy will be able to follow that a lot easier.

 

Ok this may makes me feel dum. After talking with someone yesterday they suggested that my drive may not be a burner. But i thought it was. Can someone tell me how to find out for sure. I can play a dvd on the computer and watch the movie. I used smartripper to rip the movie, but now i am confused if i can burn it or not.

@cguffey

Can you post the model numbers of the burner devise?

 

I can if you can tell me where to find them or what i am looking for.

 

Ok I have a emachine. Looking at the front the computer is a T3958 it says its DVD+/-RW 16x Double layer multiformat DVD RW. Dont know if that helps or not. I assume its a burner, but i dont know.

Any help appriciated

 

Yes you have a Dual Layer DVD Burner

I would suggest Downloading DVD Decrypter and using DVD Shrink to Shrink the disc to fit on a DVD and to burn the disc

here is a site that may help

Christy you do have a DVD Burnner go to the above site I gave you. Great site to get started.

 

Ok i did the DVD Decrypter. When i tried to pull the file up in shrink it would not open gave me an error message something like it couldnt find the file. I am trying to do it again. Maybe i just did something wrong.

Christy

 

Hi Christy, hang in there and just follow ScubaPetes guide to the letter and you will be up and burnin with the best of them.

 

I did what he said and i made the files he said. When i try to open them in shrink it says it failed to open because the system cannot find the files specified

 

You haven't removed the DVD from the drive before process has completed?

 

You have to browse with shrink to the file location so that shrink knows where to look. Does this make sense? When you decrypted, decrypter put the files on your hard drive in a folder. You have to navigate to them and then shrink.

 

If you followed ScubaPetes guide then you would have made a folder called All My DVD work then in that folder another named VIDEO_TS this is where your "Decrypted" files should be.

 

I did make the folders like he said. When i did the decryptor i saved it to the video ts file. When i go into shrink and open that file it says the file cannot be found. But decryptor says its complete so where did they go?

 

If you made the file: All My DVD work as your destination file in DVD Decrypter then that is where the decrypted files automatically go. Suggest you check the DESTINATION file you have selected in DVD Decrypter, if you have done it correctly then the decrypted files should be there.
