    I am super new to the DVD world. I just got a DVD/VCR combo.

    I (think) I have successfuly recorded a tapr from my VCR to
    the DVD using a DVD-R disc. My question is how do I now get
    the DVD disc easily duplicated. I guess I can VCR @ DVD over
    and over again, but that is way time consuming. Suggestions?

    Abe.

    Download DVD Decrypter.

    Put your disk in the drive and use "iso read" in Decrypter. When it is done, put in a new blank disk into your burner and select "iso write". Burn at 4x speed or 2x if you are very careful, depending on the size of the movie, u should be done within 15-30 minutes.

    Enjoy and welcome to aD!

    thanks to all who responded with helpful ideas and hints.

    for some reason having limited success with the program.

    is there a particular DVD type/brand required to copy to?

    or are there some system requirements that i may need?

    Use Verbatim DVD-R, at 4x Write speed for best results. 256 RAM at least is recommended.

    thanks for the ongoing help people,
    i think the program reads the DVD
    and stores it ok, but when i go to
    copy (write) it to a blank DVD it
    keeps insisiting that "Medium Not
    Present" - ??

    could be cheap media (use verbatim), or otherwise update your burner's firmware.

    also, when i am ready to write and pick the file the program informs me that the file is unsupportable - i was under the impression that when the program reads the DVD it automaticaly puts it in the proper mode that can later be written from?

    in an effort to be more specific; i successfuly read the DVD and i can now play it from my hard drive on the pc, but when i tag this same file for writing it to a blank DVD the program sends me a message "invalid or unsupported image file format"

    hi

    if dvd decrypter reads in iso mode the same app can burn an iso

    if ripped in files mode it can not!

    ripping iso is ok aslong as it doesnt need shrinking?

    but dvd shrink can output iso / burn eith dvd decrypter
