Ok, I know I am supposed to do a search and all before I type some stupid thread, but I am completely lost about this stuff. I am not computer stupid, but close. I have been trying to backup 1 movie for 6 hours. I have read post after post and none of them make sense to me. I need to back up 500+ movies as I don't want them stolen. I have downloaded Nero, DVD Shrink, and DVD Decrypter. I have tried starting with DVD shrink and get some error about encryption. After another hour I found DVD Decrypter, which said it was the answer to my problems. I downloaded that and clicked the button that shows a DVD with an arrow to what looks like a hard drive and let it run. It completed, but now I have no idea what to do next! Everywhere I look I see all these friggin words I have never heard, and I am an english major! Please don't yell at me and call me a newbie, as I am already aware of my status as one. Please, can someone who speaks plain english help me or point me in the right direction?
Here is a guide: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/334154 You'll find more here: http://webpages.charter.net/bacitup/Guides.htm AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 are good but not free, there are trials though. DVD Decrypter hasn't been updated in a long while and can't break the encryption (copyright protection) on movies (made) since it quit being updated.
hello and welcome to AD, i could explain what to do next but it is easier if you just follow a guide like this one(below), then post back if you have any questions or problems with the guide Guide LINK Also a good thing to remember is use good media like verbatims or taiyo yuden also if you go to the glossary tab it will explain what most of the words are, if you cant find the word in there just post it and an AD member will help
