I'm using an averatec 5400 series laptop w/ amd 2800, xp home, 784mb ram, 40g hd. I tried the method of using the external drive to rip from using dvdcopy3 and works! Now if i can get the damn program to burn (: to my last ty. Sorry didn't know there was a difference from a mod and an addict I just know you guys as well as the senior members know waaaaaay more than I do. I guess each one has an area of specialty. Oops got off topic hope the above info helped in determining its not a communication factor. Think I will invest in dvdcopy3 since they offer money back if they cannot get it to work. Thanks for the rb/ cce link will give that a go. As I stated before I have the basics now I'm trying to fine tune not only for myself so I can assist other members as well. Burner is external nu-tech model N82E16827154021 EDW-042 is the firm ware I think.

And what is the brand and model of the external drive? Just curious.

No problem, and you're not alone. I've noticed others besides you who have said DVDClone instead of CloneDVD. As you know there are programs by both names and the newbies are easily confused. They have so much to learn and remember from the start. You said both with AnyDVD, so any thinking person should realize you intended the Slysoft apps. My intent was to help the newbies and not as a correction for you. You've been around long enough to know your way around. ;)
Where I've been... Taking care of my outside toys and activities. It's been raining, so I spent the evening catching up on the forum a bit. With fair weather and the summer season, I'll probably be off the forum for a bit. Motorcycles, boats, the inevitable maintenance, golf, travelling and a bit of yard work are a few things to keep me busy.

Type: Slim DVD Burner
Model #: EDW-042
That tells us the max burn speed on DVDs is 4X, so you don't have to worry about controlling the burn speeds. That's only a problem with some of the faster drives. Don't understand why Copy3 will read the drive and not write to it. Maybe someone else can help or InterVideo's customer support. Let us know what happens. If Nu-Tech has customer support, maybe they can shed some light on the situation. After all, it's their drive that isn't functioning properly with a popular retail app.
N82E16827154021 is an item number.

@ brobear
Would you suggest the platinum or gold edition of dvdcopy3. Last platinum edition I bought *cough xcopy cough* is collecting dust now. I don't mind the 40 dollar difference just want to be sure I'm getting my moneys worth.

Hey allmanbro
Try using DVD Decrypter & DVD Shrink together both free on AD.
But if you want better quality try using DVD Rebuilder w/ CCE Basic.
Haven't used Rebuilder & Basic ,too difficult to use and set up for me.
I would recommend Intervideo DVD Copy 3 Platnium. I was lucky to get it only for $20 @ Fry's $50 out the door w/ a $30 rebate.
This software seems to work great. It works w/ either Region Free+CSS. DVDIdle pro(same company as Region Free), or AnyDVD.
There's someone on Ebay right now selling a bunch of copies of Region Free+CSS for only $10.
DVD Clone also works good w/AnyDVD I think there $50 or $ 60 if you buy them together. All the apps I've mentioned are the only ones I've used so far.
AMD Phenom II X4 3.2Ghz
16GB memory
1TB HDD
AnyDVD & CloneDVD

The only real advantage I can see that platinum has over gold is the ability to make 1:1 backups on DL media. This can be done with DVD Decrypter and it's free.

I'd suggest you give the DVD RB/CCE combo a go before spending your money. You might just be surprised at how well it does.

thanks I installed rb and cce pro and will give it a go. After reading your opinions I think i will stick with clonedvd2/ AnyDVD. Haven't tried to backup a full movie but will take a shot at it today.

The platinum Copy3 is what I own. The trial is Platinum. Read the description and you can see the difference between the 2 versions. Just ask yourself if you might like some of the extras now or later. The trial is no cost, so there's no reason not to try it.
Guess some people neglected to pay attention to my previous post on RB. With the Rockas installer, anyone should be able to install RB. If you can load Shrink or Decrypter, you can now install RB. Links were provided.
BTW, if you like the RB, you'll need to make a donation to get the Pro version. I have that one. With a $15 donation and about $60 for the CCE Basic, you end up with a true encoder that does excellent work. The only drawback is it's a bit slower than Shrink using the quality settings. I often use batch settings and let the app do encoding overnight.

@brobear
I installed dvdrb pro and cce pro (a gift in exchange for loading photoshop 7 & 8 onto a friends pc). Just the 1st time I tried to use it got stuck but that was before I saw there was a guide on here. I was caught as to whether to get the platinum or Nero ultra. Was looking for something where I could spend on 1 application to do it all but hey I just bought another laptop so will experiment with trials of both. Oh and i did use rockas installer and now to try to see the results. Will report back good, bad or perhaps for another 'stupid' question.

I've heard few complaints other than speed where RB/CCE is concerned. Most problems have been from usage errors. Not to say there haven't been an occasional software or hardware conflict. After all, RB is still beta.
I thought you were talking about Copy3 Platinum. With Nero I suggest the full package Ultra. I hate wanting to use part of an app only to find out that part isn't functional. Recode is an important part of the suite if you're going to be doing a lot of DVD backups. If you check around, you should be able to find a better price than the one quoted at the Ahead site.

I use DVD43 free to decode and then I use 1click dvd copy to compress and burn...I have not had any problems as of yet, there is a movie that just came out (Hitch) that has a new encryption by Sony (ARcc0S) but their is also a program out for that already (DVD Region+CSS Free) it breaks this code without any problems, you can get it for 30 days free...it worked fine for me...

Fuji i believe are very good, but only as long as they're from Japan (ie Taiyo Yuden media code).
A lot of ppl out there seem to agree that Imation are appalling. I'm open to conceding there may be Imation discs that do work, so what media codes are these disks ?
(the reason to avoid 'brands' such as Memorex, Imation, TDK, etc etc is that you have to be very careful which ones you buy, as they use discs from different manufacturer's. ie CMC being one of the lowest quality manufacturer's (of DVD media). You may get some discs by a manufacturer that ARE good quality, but when there are companies who only use top manuafacturer's, there's no reason to buy lesser discs, especially as top quality discs cost no different.
However i've veered off topic as per usual :)

I'm sorry that I've taken you away from the topic, but is there anyway that you can suggest other very good disc and also could you explain how to work DVD Decrypter, the reason I don't use it is because it seems really hard to work and from what I understand it takes a while to rip files, I can go from start to finish in about 35 to 45 mionutes.
