Use your normal backup program,but you won't need anydvd activated.The encryption is gone,already compressed down to size,so re-ripping those backups should be quicker. But,re-ripping other peeps backups may not be as easy as what it seems. Lots of variables to consider to be able to re-rip other peeps backups. Here's my formula,and those copies have to have very few errors to be able to re-rip them. 1)Quality media,no crap like memosux/HP/Philips/TDK 2) A safe burn speed of 4x - 8x 3) No multi-tasking 4) Keep harddrive/s defragged 5) Keep pc clean of malware/spyware/and registry errors. 6) Quality dvd-rw drive-critical. 7) No paper/sticker labels The object on your backups is to keep errors down to a minimum.Too many errors/or errors in the wrong spots and you'll get crc errors-making it very difficult to re-rip. I can control the quality of my backups,but anybody elses backups are out of my hands. If they were: Burned too fast Burned too slow Used crap media-usually the case!!!!!!!!! Slapped sticker labels on them Used a crappy burner like HP Multi-tasked while they were in the process of backing up Harddrives were totally fragmented And the list goes on and on. Here would be the best route-5 min rip/15 min burn at 4x: Download dvd decrypter and use Mode ISO read to harddrive and remember where they go. After encoding to your harddrive-5 mins or so,Then Mode ISO write: /click folder/ locate MDS files-not ISO/open/and burn away at 4x. In case you run into crc errors: Set a couple settings like this: Tools/Settings/I/O- Set to ignore all read errors While you are there: CSS/ Brute force-and ok. Dual Drives: You could try on the fly with something like Nero/Sonic/Roxio-etc for the copy disc features.Risky thought.Dvd decrypter would be the safest route,and is a more aggressive ripper.
Short version, use a DVD copy software such as Nero Express. Copy DVD in the startsmart Window for Nero takes you to the app. Other suites have similar software. Nero has a full function trial, so you can download a copy. http://www.nero.com/ If you run into a problem reading discs you can use the CD DVD Speed app in the Nero Toolkit and select Scandisc as your option. Bad sectors on a recorded DVD can prevent rerecording even though it may play. So, simply copy and if a read error crops up, scan it to check it out before asking for more help. That help might be suggesting recovery software if you have sector errors, and that doesn't always work well.
ty saugmon,it started to work,but i couldnt find the mds files after it did it job.i found them when i searched for them in searching for files and folders.i even wrote down the destination they were going?couldnt figure it outive been trying to to do for 2 weeks now,maybe i'll get it here soon i hope.the only files i seen in there when i did search it through dvd decrypter,was the iso files,dvd,and one other one,but not the mds,any ideas on what i did wrong?ty odie241
1) Rip with dvd decrypter in Mode ISO read-remember harddrive and name of file. 2) Insert blank 3) Mode/ISO write 4) Look towards the top/left for source: Please select a file: That's where you'll fish out the MDS file from your harddrive/s. 5) You've got 2 icons: ISO file on top/MDS file just below when you leave the cursor on each icon of that movie title to tell you which is which. 6) Click MDS file/open/set burn speed/and burn away. It's a little tougher if you have dual harddrives like I have in 2 of my pcs.
ty saugmon,its people like you who help us newbies out of there problems when we think its all over,ty for all the great help you gave me with solving my problems.now i can back-up all of the back-ups me and the wife shared.got 19 done so far,only 131 to go.lol at least i got some good movies out of our failed marrige,which only lasted 1 and a half months,it was doomed from the start,but anyway,you the bomb,i know who to ask if i have anyother problems,and what a great site this is,i love the forums,im addicted,have a good night,,ty again odie241
Odie214: Sounds like those backups must have been done pretty good if you haven't run into any trouble yet. If you run into any that won't rip-dreaded crc error,there's a couple of settings in dvd decrypter that may help. Good Luck and burn on!
