    i know this might sound a really stupid question, but is it the same process to copy a copy as it would be to copy an original??

    i have the following programmes, nero 6, shrink dvd, clonedvd.

    Which would be the best programme to use??

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Chris,

    No need of DVD Shrink or CloneDVD to do a copy of a copy.

    Download and install DVD Decrypter (freeware). Read the copy in ISO mode and then write the new copy in ISO mode.

    or you could just do a disc to disc copy using nero(if you have a dvd rom drive)

    you can use CloneDVD, since its not CSS encrypted it will copy it in no time and theres no need to use AnyDVD etc

    and no it is different copying a copy then it is to copy an original

    original = CSS encrypted, usually over 7 gigabytes

    Copy(Backup) = under 5 gigabytes - not encrypted

    lol, happy burning

    lol, neither do i

    i know what you mean by the DVDr backups a waste a time thread

    i was simply saying because it is what i use and am very familiar with is that he can use his cloneDVD for a disc to disc copy

    all arguements averted *Check*

    (Feelin' like the teacher who just walked out into the school yard - )

    Yo there Jimbo, Dean - play nice there kids -

    Either CloneDVD or Nero are fine -

    Are we forgetting that we're not having to compress or process anything ? We just take what's on pile "A" and move it to pile "B".

    Kind of like being in the military :)

    (there're both such nice kids, they just have ta share the Newbies)

    Hi there Chris, Welcome to our little Club -

    Both programs are "Greattttt" like Tony the Tiger would say, - try'em both, decide which ya like better -

    Pete

    lol, u probably know more than me how long you been backing up your DVD's for?

    no you dont lose quality when backing up copys, unless your a complete dolt with anti-virus and a firewall running in the background while playing a game ;D
