DaveERG,

Here's a guide using Dvd Decrypter, http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/Copying%20a%20Dual%20Layer%20DVD%...

After you open Decrypter there is a icon of a book in the lower right-hand corner, select it, then select your drive manufacturer, and select the option you desire.

HTH,

Rich

Use Decrypter to rip in iso mode and remember when you want to burn open the MDS file this has the correct layer break information. Also keep burn speed to 2.4x it works best. LUK has upgraded the Decrypter burning engine, and it has tweaks. Since he can no longer do Decrypter he is working on this. Here is a site for this program

If you're a real novice, I suggest you burn on some single-layer rewritables first until you figure out how to tweak everything from your ripping to burning software. Those D/Ls are expensive, and coasters will cost you more than a new commercial DVD. The best program to use would be AnyDVD where you can just drag the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD over to your hard drive and burn it straight to a D/L disc.

I just checked video help.com and found out 4 of my dvd players dont read DVD+R DL discs. WIll booktyping allow them to read them, or do I have to buy new dvd players?

Do your players read -R format. I have an older Toshiba that only reads -R and have booktyped my +R DL's and it plays them fine, better than the new Sanyo I had, it froze on the DL's and it was supposed to read everything, gave it to the grandaughter and bought a Sony. My cheap Cyberhome's have no problem with DL's in any format. You won't know how it will play until you burn one.

Dvd-rom is the most compatable format (same as new pressed dvd's) and should play fine in your player that plays dvd-r's. If you are having good luck with dvd-r's you can stay with them. One advantage to dvd+r's booktyped to dvd-rom is if you have family and friends that borrow your backup dvd's there is a better chance that their set top players will play them than DVD-R or DVD+R as long as you use only good, high quality media and keep burn speed to 4x.
