Mort81 let me know about this deal. I bought mine here last time too, they usually have a good deal. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-132-344&depa=0 You have to buy before the end of the month for the $10 rebate. Oh yea they are +R Ritek Ridata, and they should be RICOHJN on the ID. They are the real deal. _X_X_X_X_X_[small] DELL Dimension 8300 XP Pro SP2 Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT 1GB DDR SDRAM 2x160GB RAID 0 SATA HDD 16xDVD-ROM 8xDVD DL+R/+R/+RW 19" LCD. Dolby 5.1[/small]
I just use DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter. Two of the best programs ever made freeware. Easy! And I agree, since GameRush started there is nothing good at BB. I go to one w/o it, or to Movie Gallery/Hollywood. Anyway, download and donate to DVDS and DVDD!!
rroettgr, thanks man... just curious if itll work on my dell... these things are so tempermental... so far sony discs dont work, only the memorex.
Memorex can be good, but as you can read here they use different sources and can vary. Most here would avoid them. the Sony's should have been good, but there have been fakes. Use DVD ID to check them out. http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/ What burner do you have in your Dell. Decrypter should be easy. I left all the settings under Tools on there defualts. When you get ready to burn select the burn speed. I would stay away from max. I started out with 2.4x, but now I use 4x. Remember to delete the files if you do not have a lot of hard drive. Also, defrag after doing a few discs. Just ran across a nice guide for Shrink. http://www.dvdshrink.info/guides.php _X_X_X_X_X_[small] DELL Dimension 8300 XP Pro SP2 Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT 1GB DDR SDRAM 2x160GB RAID 0 SATA HDD 16xDVD-ROM 8xDVD DL+R/+R/+RW 19" LCD.

rroettgr, thanks for all the help...seriously. ium not sure what burner i have... 4x? uh oh... i used decryptor, and at max speed... but it came out nice?! why should i use a slower speed? and what should i delete? the movie parts on my comp used while burning??? thanks!
do i have to worry about only erasaing the movie downloaded to the specific file i designated, or are there more hidden places i have to check? thanks, sorry for all the noob questions.
JumpJax Reproduction of any copyrighted material (even if you own the orginal) is illegal without permission. I not here to tell anyone what they should do. pointman1, click on my computer, right click on your disc drive and select propperties. Click on the hardrare tab. The model is listed for your dvd(s). As for speed, most here would recommend to burn at 4x or less just to avoid problems. There seems to be an increase in problems at higher speeds. Yes the files Shrink created are the ones you what to delete when you are finished. If you are burning one copy, you can tick on the DVD Decrypter opition to delete the file when done burning the disc. There are no hidden files. You will know quickly if you don't. At 5GB per movie you will fill up a hard drive fast. Nero has an app (DVD tab-select extras) to test what the real preformance of your burner. Gald to hear your burnihg away. P.S. Nero can also tell you all you need to know about your burner. Just click on the Get Sys Info in the extras section. _X_X_X_X_X_[small] DELL Dimension 8300 XP Pro SP2 Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT 1GB DDR SDRAM 2x160GB RAID 0 SATA HDD 16xDVD-ROM 8xDVD DL+R/+R/+RW 19" LCD.

Actually, it isn't a problem in Finland, where this site is based and it's perfectly fine to talk about it, even to recommend it in this forum. It's the opinion here that whatever pple do, it is probably legeal where they live. As it was explained by the Admin's spokes person, if you download it before it's released you are doing so only to preview it as you plan to see it and to purchase it later hence, no monies are lost to those with a copyright. If you copy a rental, I can only imagine that since you watched it, you are only re-enforcing your memory and since rental monies were paid, again, no monies were lost to those with the copyright. I hope that clears that up - Cheers all, Pete
Scuba, thanks sssoooOOO much...seriously. my burner model is a "teac dvd+rw dvw58e". what kind of issues come with faster speeds? just curious. thanks for the tip on "delete after done"... thats exactly what i need. can i successful make backup copies of my episodic dvd's? cause when i was using x copy, it never worked. thanks oh, and as far as copying from bb, i never said i did that... i merely enjoy making copies of my homevideos and my own personal collection. no need to try and convict me or anyone else for something.
pointman1, Just out of curiosity, what is the media code of the memorex media you are useing? Some issues you can have burning at faster speeds are freezing or pixelating during playback or read errors. Yes you can make copies of episodic dvds with shrink. The guides will show you how. That is write speed.
heheheehhe Not makin fun or anything but I work for blockbuster and I can tell you for a FACT, that is not true!! So get Shrink and Nero, and have your way with these movies
pointman1, Use dvd identifier that rroettger gave you the link to, to see who actually manufactured the memorex media. It will tell you manufacturer ID and manufacturer name. Memorex buys its media from several different companies. I'm curious as to who made yours.
Rroettger, thanks for the linky,. Mort, it says "ricohjpn"...is that good or bad??? share, im always eager to learn something new. thanks
Thats good. You got lucky. Thats why you have had good results with memorex. Probably not so next time since memorex buys its media from several manufacturers. Ya, Ricohjpn is top notch, but why take a chance with memorex. Next time it might be cmc magnetics (bottom of the barrel).
