Hi there, What soft wares would you recommend for a beginner to have in one’s arsenal when it comes to DVD burning, format changing etc etc. (besides Nero 6.6.1.4) Regards.
Well to start with I would UNINSTALL that version of Nero, its buggy, and install this bug free one http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe and if you are backing up copies you will need something like DVDDecrypter, available free from bbmayo site in my sig or if you want to spend $$$$ I recommend AnyDVD available for 21 day free trial from slysoft site. DVDDecrypter and AnyDVD are used for breaking any encryptions on a movie allowing you to back it up.
Hi there, Thanks for identifying the buggy version. Ok so Firstly I should have either DVD Decryptor or Any DVD. Would you care to mention the utilities of the following soft wares & which of them overlap in features? & yes their bug free versions..... a. 1 Click DVD. b. Advanced X Video Converter. c. Boilsoft. d. DVD Cloner. e. DVD to Divx ripper. f. DVD X copy Plat. g. TMPGEnc DVD. h. Super DVD Ripper. i. Video Edit Magic. j. WinMPG Video Convert. k. Xilisoft 3GP Video Converter. l. Muvee autoProducer. Regards! 1 more thing. Will I need to do a clean install of your recommended version or can I install it over?
Hi again 1 more thing. Will I need to do a clean install of your recommended version or can I install it over? Regards!
There's a number of progs I dont recognise, I only know of what I have listed so cannot advise on the others. Yes it would be a good idea to ru Nero General Clean Tool. Good luck
@Yezinki You have to download Nero Cleaning Tool to uninstall present Nero and do a fresh reinstallation with the good version http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/General_Clean_Tool.html Also, here is a guide with some FREE software that will provide about anything you need for burning/converting. http://my.afterdawn.com/alkohol/blog_entry.cfm/234 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/272946
A good free solution to back up older movies would be DVD Shrink and DVD43 (aka DVD For Free). DVD Shrink will decrypt older movies, while DVD43 will decrypt some of the newer ones. But as gwendolin noted, AnyDVD is the best decrypter available and is updated very often. It's well worth the money. I also use DVD Decrypter, IMGBurn, PGCEdit, VobBlanker, and FixVTS for backing up movies. After you uninstall Nero 6, make sure you use the Nero clean tool before installing the stable version of Nero. The link is below. http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/General_Clean_Tool.html
Also dont spend your $ on xcopy platinum. No matter what the sites that still offer it for sale say. If you do it may work but will not be legit. Legal sales of the software has been halted for a good while now.
@dvdnoobie From what I know, you have to use the Tool [bold]TO UNINSTALL[/bold], not after. If you uninstall from Control Panel, the Tool is useless, you have to go in Registry and manually delet any Ahead/Nero Entries.
1. Uninstall. 2. Run Gen Clean Tool. 3. Reboot. 4. Install Stable one???? Pl make it simple & clear you guys are confusing me & each other!
OK sorry for the confusion, all I have ever done is Uninstall first, run clean tool to remove any remaining parts, re install and then Re Boot.
They share the same burning engine(ImgBurn has been updated), but only DVDD can ripp the files on your HDD. ImgBurn can not do that. If you do not use Nero Clean Tool first and u uninstall from Control Panel, not all the registry entries will be removed( I know from practice). Also, some others have experienced the same. http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=121355
Thanks for the info. Do I need Image Burn too? Whats the function of DVD Shrink? How do I install Nero Vison 4?
If you have a movie that is on a DVD-9( D/L), it will not fit on a regular DVD-/+. This is where DVD Shrink compressess the movie to make it fit to a regular DVD(DVD-5). If you are going to use DVD Decrypter, and if you also have Nero, I personally don't think you need ImgBurn. Here is a guide for DVD Shrink: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd9_to_dvdr_with_dvd_shrink.cfm
Since you have Nero 6, you will be using Nero Vision Express. Nero Vision 4 is part of Nero 7 upgrade.
Yes it has NVE, OEM versions are usually just BASIC versions. There is a very good guide in my sig by both alkohol and bbmayo, check them out.
