Well I just wanted give a special thank you to scuba and bigorange for their guides on how to copy a dvd. Let me just say I spent a few hours going over them to make sure I didnt screw up. I copied my first dvd tonight. It was only a dvd5 so I didnt have any problems; but the end result was a perfect copy. I did try to copy a dvd9 as well but I wasnt satisfied with the compression ratio of the movie. So before I continue I will study the guides on how to increase the compression. Anyway just wanted to let everyone know (all you first timers) that copying is easy, just hang in there.
Also like to say thanks to all members of this forum. i have been burning DVD's for 8 monts and every problem on question that I have had has always been answered quickly and all problems fixed by the knowledge of this forum. Thanks To All
