    Gentlemen,

    Ya got to talk the same language -

    The Nero you got with your PC is the OEM version. Bits and piecfes of the Nero program. Unable to do Nero in the Classis mode or recode2 or a bunch of other things the Regular Nero can do.

    You would be better off doing Nero 5.5 (an older version of Nero) which you can "Google" for for about $10.00.

    You would both do better to go to this location (Check Nero on the left-hand side) you can get Nero for $35.00.

    Good luck all,

    Pete

    Our mistake fartpoop, mostly (really always) software included with a PC is designed to get you to buy the full version.

    You appear to be doing alright though, you have Nero burning your DVD Shrinks backups and you have it for doing your disc to discs - Now the only thing you have to explore in Nero's recode2. It operates like DVD Shrink but has a few more bells to it. It can't rip the DVD's but can open DVD Shrinks files and work with them - it can keep your menus - good thing, that.

    Well enjoy, if you need anything, drop by, we'll be here - -> over there by the water cooler, just hangin, helping the Newbies :D)

    Here is what I would do to copy my DVD. Purchase the two software programs AnyDVD and CloneDVD. AnyDVD will remove the codes, on the fly from your DVD player rom. CloneDVD will then rip and burn in one easy step. It is the easy way to copy. I would also get, for free, DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypted for special ripping and a author fetures you might need on some movies. Roberson

    recode2? i am still kinda a half newby about certain things revolving around software specs, when i first got my dvd burner "not aware of certain regions and copyrights"i tryed ripping a dvd threw nero but was unable to do that function, i understand nero is not able to do so only disc to disc werks with a ripped copy not a original, does recode2 have any thing to do with that?
    and does dvd shrink software run off of neros burn engine?

    Good programs, those - AnyDVD and CloneDVD (elby), I also like using AnyDVD with DVD2One and almost anything as a burner - still they are $$.$$ programs.

    For the Price, you cannot beat DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter with with a 3 stone ugly stick -FREE just can't be beat -

    Hi there fartpoop,
    (Ya gotta love typing that handle out.)

    recode2 is a program simular to DVD Shrink BUT, DVD Shrink CAN rip a DVD (get past the encryption and region) where recode cannot do that.

    DVD Shrink can work hand-in-hand with Nero OR DVD Decrypter to burn DVD's "automatically" but you can use alnost any bruning program to fry what comes out of DVD Shrink as you can also with recode2.
    recode2 only works hand-in-hand (automatically) with Nero.

    Again,
    Ripping, DVD Shrink = Yes, recode3 = No
    Burn to disc - Both programs need a burner.
    More choices editing, DVD Shrink = No, recode2 = Yes

    Cost, DVD Shrink = FREE, recode2 (part of Nero) *$69.99

    *Nero's suggested retail, $69.99
    We have found a site that sells Nero for $35.00.

    And remember fartpoop, whenever you see something here you don't understand, there is a Glossary at the top of each page AND you can "Google" for almost anything to learn more about it - failing that, you've always got us :D)

    Pete

    I think the same about this forum it is good to get any help you need and sites to find hardware and software at good price. And even if you get your chain pulled all in fun.

    Thanks to everyone for all the help I have received.
    Thanks
