copying films off the net

Please can someone help me i am trying to burn films off the net and i cant seem to do it i can do cds but not dvds at the moment i am using nero 7 trial version but am having problems with it. when i have sat for about 3hrs for the film to burn there is nothing on the disc so what am i doing wrong.

 

you should post your Nero Log so we can see what's going on. You can find your log usually here:
Program files>Nero>Nerohistory.txt or something like that.... look and seeeee. then copy and paste the log..... make sure you don't post your serial # which might start 1A20-****-****

 

i have gone in2 program files, then nero but can no see nero log

 

i have been told todownload mcdlecrypt but dont know how to get it

 

where to find nero log:

PROGRAM FILES>NERO>NERO> NEROHISTORY.TXT

or something like that..... I am using Nero 6 and the log is located differently.

 

here is the path for Nero 7
[bold]C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core [/bold]
look for the NeroHistory.txt

 

well we would need a little more info on the format that the files are in? one other thing to keep in mind that if the files are copywrited files that is a no no un less you paid for them, and if you did not pay for them not many people would help you here cuzz it is not allowed, if the files are rared you have to unrar them after that they are probley in avi or dvix format so you would have to convert them to vob complyment files, also do you have a dvd burner? like i said we need some more info, hope that helps happy burning have a nice day

 

Isn't burning films off the internet called a little somthing Piracy?
Well I could be wrong, because maybe its not copyrighted, but it's just my sixth sense..

 

This forum is for backing up one's DVD movies, not downloaded films. Perhaps one could look for a more appropriate forum for their queries.

 

well we know that times have changed in the last few months, their are pay sites that you can leagly download and burn copywrited films, also their are films that do not have copywrite on them, so we have to think that they are doing the right thing, unless the say like i got the film from like limewire, that would be a different thing, or even torrents, i have yet to find a pay torrent site, but you never know

 

indeed and why use torrents when one can use newsgroups...but hey thats a whole new bag of films.

 

thanks for everyones replies but now i have sorted the problem out
