I did a breif look on this, heres my question. I have a dvd(+) burner it came with Sonic MyDVD program (but I cant find where to do a direct copy) I have another cdrom drive that is a dvd player. I want to be able to put a dvd in my cdrom/dvdplayer, put a blank Dvd+r in my dvdburner drive and with a program hit COPY. I was searching through some of these threads and dvdcopy shit keep saying dvd-r (does that mean the dvd- and not dvd+?) and also, my harddrive is only 6gb so I cant really copy whole dvds to my harddrive then burn... I read about how some protection shit is on some dvds..so in closing what can I do is there a program out there?
erock85, to do an ON THE FLY dvd copy (player to burner) you need a very fast and powerful computer system. You have tons of data going through the system very fast. Most can't handle that type of copy, so the movie needs to be ripped to the HD. The recommended free space is 10gig but some say they have done it with 7gig. You only have 6 and I assume some of that is being used by the windows system. You need to do some upgrade on your computer. Yes all commercially made dvd movies are encrypted. You will need a FREE download of DVDshrink to get the movie to your HD, and most use Nero to burn it back to the blank disc. Go to the guides tab at the top of the page and start reading. Then the download tab for the software. This will get you started but I think your computer heeds some help first. Jerry
thanks for the help...im pretty much screwed then..guess ill have to get my own computer (this is my moms)...ya she bought this for me for xmas but havent figure it out. thanks again.
RWG, I haven't tried it with Nero DVD Copy. MY guess is it should decrypt. I have tried it behind RECODE, and behind Shrink on difficult movies. It seems kind of universal. Jerry
If you can get a copy of AnyDVD you should be able to use it with CloneDVD which would read directly from original DVD. This way you won't use more than 4.35 gigs of space and it wouldn't be hoaging your cpu power, it can be done... try it!
Its worth a try since there is a trial download of Anydvd. But I still think buffer underrun will be problem disc to disc. Can't hurt to try one. Use a RW disc so you don't waste a blank disc. Jerry
