I have dvd's that I want to make backups of, because my little kids are scratching the originals like crazy. I was wondering what anyone might recommend for doing something like this? Thank you all for the help. Darensvt
I would suggest you use 2 free trial programs by slysoft, AnyDVD and CloneDVD2...both available for a 21 day trial. AnyDVD will remove any copy protection while CloneDVD2 will back up your DVDs. For a trial of these progs go to slysoft site.
DVDShrink is a good choice too. DVD Shrink will also let you compress the content so it fits on a single layer DVD. You can also remove subtitles of languages you don't use to limit amount of compression required to fit your originals onto single layer DVD-Rs.
I use DVD Fab Decrypter and DVDShrink, they are both free. I have had all successful burns, except for one, which was a firmware problem with DL DVD-R and that was easily remmedied by a firmware upgrade.
yah kids have no idea how easy the dvd's can be scrached up, macking backup is one thing you can do but another thing you can do is go out and buy some d-skins most walmart or best buy or computor stores will have them they work great, the kids can handel the dvd's and yout won't have to worry about the finger prints or scraches another thing backups scrach easer thain the orignal dvd's, good luck
what exactly are D-skins? Are they label that go over the DVD or is it like a coating of some sort that you polish on it and let dry? Thank you for the help and suggestion bro!! Darensvt
yes it is a plastic deal. goes right over the disk and it does not bother playback, you can use them in any player
