new to DVD copying and need help please

hi guys, i think i just successfully ripped my first two DVD to my local C: drive, i used DVD Decrypter. i just need to know how to make the file go onto my DVD-R CD. like what program should i use, how should i do it? ive never done this before so any help would be appreciated

 

You can use Dvd Decrypter to burn in write mode. Go to mode click write browse to the file and burn or the real easy way if you created an iso file right click on it one of the choices should be burn with Dvd Decrypter .The program will open and be ready to burn it.

 

hey thanks, i didnt even see that part. haha. but now, when i do that, it says that it is not the right file type or something. do i have to convert it? what file type should i convert it to? thanks agian

hi duke
seeing as you have only done 2 so far. may be this will help as a starter
here's how i do
movie only with shrink and decrypter.
you will need anydvd running in the background to get rid of protection's
anydvd download (gives you a free trial)

Did you rip in FILE MODE or ISO MODE?

BTW the guides in my sig are all the guides you need to backup any dvd

 

hey wow, thanks for the help guys. i ripped it in File mode, im not sure what IFO mode is, maybe a little more insight on that subject should help. thanks!! im going to try and copy the movie to the disk right now... thanks again for the help!!

 

ok, well i got to the part where the movie is in the .ISO format, but the DVD Decrypter wont recognize the DVD or something because i dont see the green arrow...any suggestions?

 

Did you switch dvd decrypter into ISO write Mode?

how big is the iso you are trying to burn?

edit
it should be under 4.35GB to be albe to burn on a SL disk.

 

yeah, im in ISO write mode, its only 3.5 gigs, i dont get it, it says that there is no DVDR in the drive, ugh, i guess ill transfer the file to my other computer, but my other computer doesnt read DVD's, it just reads DVD-R and CD's

 

ugh, what file type does a video file need to be in for DVD Shrink to recognize in the "Open Files" button? the file i have wont show up on Decrypter or Shrink. please help! thanks

 

Shrink can open an ISO file if it consists of DVD-Complaint files or shrink can open a video_ts foler(looks for the Video_Ts.IFO)

DVD-Compliant files are VOB, IFO, BUP.

Maybe you should follow this guide

let me clear some things up for you

When trying to copy a DL disk(dvd-9) disk to a SL disk(dvd5) you have to compress the video to be able to make it fit on the SL disk using a program like shrink(Somtimes no compression is needed if doing movie Only) but for full disk backups you have to compress like i said earlier.

Now if you are trying to copy a SL disk to SL disk the program shrink is not needed since it doesn't have to be compressed.
all you have to do is Rip to the HDD then burn with any program.

so it all depends on the original you are copying
