Ok I have read all of your threads. It has been very interesting. I have a few questions in hope that some one can help me. I just got a new pc that has a dvd-rom and DVD+/-RW. This is a Dual Layer. I bought this in hopes of not having to rent movies any more and burning DVD's from friends and downloading off of Shareware sites like Napster for movies and putting them on DVD R/W disks to play in my DVD player. Well first of all I need a software(s) that will convert AVI AND other forms of video you can download off line to a MPEG or JPEG "DVD" form to play on my DVD player and also need a great software that will decrypt CCS so I can make exact copies of DVD's. A few probs I have ran into is My PC is asking for DVD 9 disks when I try to make a copy of a DVD I own. And it will not accept the regualr 4.7 GB DVD+RW disks. Also I have Sonic for my DVD burning software also not sure what this is used for but also have CyberLink PowerDVD. Where and how can I get all of this. The only way I can download a movie off line and have it work on my DVD player is if I find a MPEG type, any other my DVD will not read or play. Well that is almost impossible considering the majority is AVI files and DIVX online. I hope I am explaining all of this correctly and am not confusing you. I am new to a DVD+RW prev PC only had CD+RW which was way easier. I am in hopes of getting these for free, that will do all the above or some help on an inexpensive way to accomplish all the above. Some of you people sound very familiar and knowlegable on how to accomplish these. So some one please help. Thanks

 

The good news is you have a good burner: the bad news is we don't use other people's DVD to make copies for OURSELVES and cannot be party to infomation to let you do this. RIGHT, Coach???

If you want to make copies of DVDs you buy or can legally download from the Net that is fine. But I cannot help you with information to make illegal copies of CDs or DVDs. Sorry.

 

I've been using DVD Cloner since last summer and made about 100 good back ups.
But resently got Nero and therefor thought I'd give Shrink a try. Let me tell you, Shrink blows DVD Cloner 2 away.
It's faster, can be customized and relatively easy to use once you read the the guide on this site.
Highly recommend it!

 

Ok that is fine. I understand that and that is fair. So How do I make dups of my daughters cartoons or other movies WE own? And how do I convert other forms of video off of line to MPEG or a sort of video that DVD players will read and play?

 

Well, you can buy DVD ClonerII, or you can download Shrink and used Nero or Maybe Roxie DVD burner program. You can go to the forums that talk about burning DVD on a PC and specifically using Shrink and other programs. You will just have to down the various programs and see which works for you. You can find the download spots in the forums. Best of luck!!

 

Do you know how to convert AVI and DIVX files etc to MPEG or JPEG or other forms that a Home DVD player will read and play. Also how to get DVD's we buy to download on a 4.7 Gb DVD RW disk opposed to DVD 9. Also what makes my DVD burner good??? Thank you very much for all of your help. If I download Nero will I need to uninstall Sonic? Will there be any conflicts between the 2? Thanks Daniela

 

Don't know about Nero/Sonic. I don't like Nero. You can look at the forum and search the forums and find the answer to the MP3 conversion. I would think if you search VersionTracker.com you could find software that will convert AVI files, anyway.

You will find a bunch of info to your questions if you take the time to read some of the responses on the forum...the various Forum topics. You will get the pros and cons of various techniques which one person cannot give you. Then try out for yourself. There is nothing so satisfying as self discovery !

 

Thank you all very much. I have one more prob, I can not download DVD shrink. I went to the website www.dvdshrink.org/what.html I clicked on the link then it puts me on a page with a long list of items to download. I click on the link and it says can not find page. Any HELP?? Thanks

And Flip 218 thank you very much. I love these forums, I have used many diff ones for many diff reasons and have had tremendous help from them all. Thanks again.

 

I know my name sounds like a male. But I am female and just wanted to say with out you freeking out that I was male that you are awesome. Thank you so much. You have been of much help. I have been searching high and low for all these answers and have had no luck. Installed and uninstalled numerous diff programs that sucked bec they were trial and in order to have full access you had to purchase the item. I just wanted to say again thanks a bunch to all of you that helped me. If any body has any extra advice or help please feel free to share. I am always open to all ideas. Daniela

 

Just wanted to say to every one again. Thank you for all of the help you gave me. I downloaded Nero and DVD Shrink and I think it is awesome. It as done every thing I have needed so far. I am happy some one out there was finally knowelegable enough to assist me in my needs after days of searching. So thanks again everyone. Also every one keeps saying Nero is a 30 day trial before you have to buy, any one know why mine is only a 14 day trial? Daniela

 

I am interested in purchasing DVD cloner II. Any feedback? I am interested in copying dvd to cd or dvd for myself. But some dvd have css. how does the dvd cloner work? I am new to this.

 

Don't buy DVD Cloner II. Download for free DVD Shrink. I just downloaded it 2 days ago and am very happy with it. It has a great easy to follow guide and it is easy for any one to do.I love it. What kind of DVD burning software do you have on your PC?

 

Kirk...did u try Shrink w/ Sonic burning software? I could not get it to work w/ Sonic.....I brought DVD Cloner II...and LOVE it!....It works w/ Sonic..and it's cheaper than Nero.....what will u do after the 30 day Nero trial? Buy Nero?

I had major difficulties w/ Shrink..once I did get it to back up the movie...I couldn't burn it w/ Sonic...I found it very complicated and frustrating, especially after waiting the hour back up time.......although I do have Shrink saved for a rainy day.....

Just curious regarding Sonic w/ Shrink

 

No I just downloaded the Nero free trial. I will probablly download it again after my trial. Or I will by the Nero 6.6 Ultra from ebay since it is as a buy it now for only $25.00 or bid one the item since bids are started at $0.01 opposed to $99.00 on Nero's website. But with downloading Nero and having DVD Shrink it is awesome. This is the easiest software/program I have ever used. You do not usually get a good help guide with free downloads but this is a good one.

I never tried it with Sonic so not sure. Also I have Sonic and I do not care much for it since I have a DVD +/- RW with the dual layer so when I try to make copies of my DVD's it will not let me bec I need to put in a DVD 9 disk whcih I refuse to buy since they are $45.00 for a 3 pack. So I also needed something that willl convert those big files to fit on a 4.7 GB disk. I also like DVD Shrink bec I can get rid of those stupid subtitles and credits etc, so when I put the disk into my home DVD player, it cuts to the chase and just starts the movie right away. I enjoy not having to go through all those steps just to start a DVD!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah......

SO these are my personal opinions as stated from people who responded to my threads it is up to you download them or buy them and see what works best for you and what you like best. What works great for me might not be the same for others. Me personally I like the easiest quickest methods and after the amount of days I spent downlaoding and uninstalling numerous programs i was trying this one by far hits a 10 on my chart. I hope this helped. Daniela
