SIMPLE GUIDE DVD-5 TO DVD+R

Used: DVD Dycrypter 3.4.1.0
Nero 5


Insert the movie you want to copy into your dvd rom tray and load DVD Dycrypter Choose "Mode/ISO/READ R". This will let you know if the DVD is a 1 layer or 2 layer disc(DVD5 or DVD9). If it is a 1 layer it will fit to one DVD+R. Now choose "Mode/File F". Decrypter will highlight the movie for you. Highlight all files since it will fit to one disc. All the files together should be under 4.36 GB. Check the file size, destination and folder name that you want it to create to hold the files. Click the large DVD>Hard drive button. In about 45 minutes the movie will be on your hard drive. Insert your blank media and load your Nero software. Click create a DVD/Other Formats/DVD-Video. Find your ripped DVD files on the right and drop all the files in Nero's VIDEO_TS folder on the left. Check your settings and click burn. I used a +RW disc to make sure that my movies worked before burning to a +R disc. If you have any questions or corrections, let's hear it. I just wanted to make a simple, easy to understand guide becuase all the other guides didn't really give me the exact details I needed to burn the disc correctly with my programs

One very simple way is to look on the DVD case.

Most say "Dual Layer", some even say DVD-9.

Mind you, you do have to look very carefully, the print is very small.

Single-layer discs look like pressed CD's, while dual-layer discs have a faded gold color.

Like d3so2 says, dual-layer DVDs look more yellow and single layer ones look silver.

Sometimes the DVDs have damn labels all over the back cover where this info is written.
