Welcome to aD. "What´s the utility of RAM in the DVD burner?" Not quite sure what you mean here... do you mean Buffer size? "but i heard a name of a good program which allowed you to copy original dvds but cant remember it" There are a few programs: DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, DVDFab, AnyDVD, DVD43. Any of these ring a bell? Quick break down for you: DVD Shrink: No longer updated will not handle newer DVD's but still and outstanding program, especially when used in conjuction with AnyDVD (Freeware) DVD Decrypter: No longer updated, but still a very powerfull ripper! (Freeware) DVDFab: Is still updated, it will copy the entire DVD to your hard drive, it will not however compress it to fit onto a 4.7GB (DVD-5) disc. (Freeware) AnyDVD: Little program that runs in the background (taskbar) and removes any protection from a DVD as soon as you put it in the drive. It's still updated. Very useful as I mentioned in conjuction with DVD Shrink. (21 Day free trial, $39.00 to buy I believe. www.slysoft.com) DVD43: Basically the same thing as AnyDVD, but free. I've never used it so I can't give you much info Hope this info helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.
thanks, man, that does help alot... while i wrote that last night I started to look at some dvd ads and yeah, i figured out the ram is the buffer size i was talking about.... thanks again
