robspacedout1, did you read alkohols guides in his sig? using FREEWARE to backup any movie. he wrote and uses these programs daily to backup ANY movie out there. matter of fact he can use an older version of DVD Decrypter to do it. best you lose the attitude and do some reading in here nOOb

@ Robspace1,
Quote: Would a bunch of bs-If you guys are using freeware that works-100% of the time I would love to see it!
Here ya go, but of course u have to know what u are doing, if u dont them maybe that is why these programs dont work 100% of the time for people
I can use Nothing but FREE programs and have a 100% perfect backup everytime with any movie out there guranteed.
Any movie can be done using free programs, this is what i use and have never failed once doing a backup.
These programs are very reliable
DVDFab decrypter(FREE)
VOBblanker(FREE)
DVD shrink(FREE)
IMGBurn(FREE)
which are all easy to use

Well said Halen5150 - I was trying to be polite to the guy. I think I proved my point with "Inside Man"
Like the man said "Peace"
Edit:-
I also think, not only is he too impatient, but too lazy to look at peoples sigs to spell them properly. How rude!

AnyDVD with CloneDVD works DVDShrink Works also DVD Decrypter Nero Burning Rom Works they are all fine and all thats why i have all of em.= but as we go along into the future the movie inc.'s will keep finding ways to try to keep us from copying movies and bla bla bla so u see we will have to keep switching apps to contiue to backup our dvd movies and what not i dotn mind spending money to keep my investments safe if i have to buy a ripping app so be it :)

good one aabbccdd!
I woke up to this guy at 400AM. I could hardly understand what he was trying to say. I knew it wouldn't take long before the wolves would be out. These NOOBs are something else, what I haven't decided. I noticed he's not posted lately. The short school bus is late again. LMFAO

The whole point of this was to educate-The fact that there is so much competition between softwware companies all scrambling for your money-There are alot of false dclaims being spewed about what a program can do or not-If you claim you have a free program that will do everything needed to play a video in any player-I say show me!-Its a trade off and yes I have used all these "free" programs-I prefer to do the job one program rather then 3-and as you have all said; most of you are paying for your software anyway-So; if you have to shell out money' does it not make sense to but one program that works rather then 3 that are dubious to say the least-I can take any file to Convert X to DVD -it will convert then burn it-I don't need another software other then DVD14 (free) running in the background-My only intention was to inform not inflame-cuz that ain't my style or game-If you did what ya got-keep it-if you want to try a possible new improved method-it's available-so-everybody pull in your claws and lets get back to some serious movie making-and yes I am also a member of the VSO forum-thanks for asking-anyone know of any good HDTV?

dana0069 ,
He meant DVD43 and that is not even close to being a good proggy although it is free and so is Ripit4Me and it is way better. AnyDVD also will beat it handsdown. He is though posting the same thing on other forums. Just google for DVD14 and you will see. He must work for them.

Well, according to Robspaced1, shout loud enough and people might think you are brilliant, Teddy Roosevelt spoke of speaking quietly and carrying a big stick, in terms of DVD backing up, AnyDVD doesn't say much, yet produces awesome results. Ripit4me, fixvts, DVDdecrypter, DVDshrink all disprove the fact that you get what you pay for. Rob you may love the one program you shout about, but the rest of us seem to love our quiet software which produces excellent results and very little problems.
Some people are not very ambitious and want instant results with minimal effort, others use this as a hobby to relax by and enjoy fiddling with the process, there are enough options out there to keep everyone happy. From the reviews of the vast majority of the AD users, the above mentioned programs are basically outstanding, and the majority of them are well... Free. Go figure.
By the way Robspaced, check out www.filehippo.com lots of free stuff there that works.

Listen folks-I began this thread to tell those of you that do not want to spend alot of time with burning; there are programs available for a price that work faster' easier then others-thats the way competition in the marketplace works-I have the time to do alot of research and study products before buying them-I am an honest guy and work for no software company-I am not rich,so if I could actually find any product that was as dependable and reliable as well as free; I would jump on it!-I have tried out the different copy programs- not all; but many-I would be the last person to pay for something that I could get free-Some of the software is indeed free;thats true.The problem I have; is having to spend alot of time moving the file from one program to the next to get the job done-For me; it is worth spending a little extra money to use 1 program and be done with it-Most files I burn can be done using Convert X to DVD-and yes; 1Click DVD PRO or DVD COPY 5 now both remove all but area protection-DVD 14 covers that-Bottom line I suppose if you enjoy the burning process and have the time ;then use the free stuff-I am not impatient but have other things to do; as do alot of other people-like jobs-So,If your happy with the stuff-keep it, but new'faster programs are being written everyday-O-and yes I have tech support and free updates for 1 year; then I pay 19.00-that is cheap!-Now lets discuss inline hardware to circumvent pre-loaded dvd player programs-I have GREX-no problems at all-amazingly reliable-

okay, i was gonna stay out of this one after my way back early on post, since both the premise and the style of presentation seem so ludicrous to me, but i might as well jump in again... what the heck.
we all have our preferences as to how to go about backing up our dvds. criteria could include cost, number of options available with the software, speed, convenience, simplicity, quality of finished product, etc. that's fine and the way things are. one likes beer, one likes wine. it's totally another thing for the wine drinker to claim that beer is lousy and if you are intelligent you should drink wine, or the beer drinker to claim that wine is awful and you're stupid if you don't drink wine. it's just personal preference and we all have our own taste buds or criteria for the choices we make. if someone is genuinely trying to inform about the good qualities of some product they use, i have absolutely no problem with that at all. but when that includes a diatribe about the inferiority of other products that includes name calling ("quit your lying guys" and several "that's bs"s), that's just not the way i like to be educated and i'd prefer you take your information and it's style of delivery elsewhere.
as for the "one program does it all" issue: true, AnyDVD and clonedvd2 are two separate programs, but they really run as one since AnyDVD is in the background... it really functions as one program. put in the original disk -> put in the blank disk. the questions of total cost and timeliness and quality of updates and longevity of license and tech support, from what i know, seem to come down on the side of the slysoft products.
as for speed, say i'm gonna do a movie like, for instance, "looking for comedy in the muslim world", written, directed by, and starring albert brooks, which was released today:
dvdfabdecrypter: 11 minutes
vobblanker: 5 minutes
shrink: 8 minutes
burn: 8 minutes
TOTAL: 32 minutes for high quality finished product. i guess you could add in a total of maybe 2 minutes to close and open each software and click the appropriate "start" or "process" button. if something can do it in less time, bravo! good for it. my criteria include cost (these are free), quality of finished product, flexibility (can edit disk with VobBlanker and with shrink), so the total 34 minutes invested suits my needs and preferences just fine.
oh. and bye bye. i unsubscribe.

Surfgo-Those numbers are pretty impressive-Tell me if that file needs converting from AVI.vob.mpeg.wmv etc. to dvd .which program does the converting and what would your total time be from start to finish?-That is; having downloaded the file to the HD already-I am curious as I have a fast system and it normally takes about 45 minutes for a full feature to convert and burn-

The files dont need to be converted, as they are ripped as dvd files
(VOB,IFO,BUP)
Why would u use ConvertXtoDVD when trying to make a copy of a dvd? doesn't make any sense
edit-
@ surfgeo, i just PM you about a ques. but u answered it in ur last post, i thought that was a pretty fast Shrink time

@robspace1
that is the total time, from commercial dvd disk to burned backup dvd, which one minute later was playing flawlessly in my standalone sony player. i chose that dvd to describe only because it was the most recent one i had done (a couple of hours ago). it is a "small" movie, shrink only needed to compress it to 93% for the entire disk, so the analysis and encoding didn't take long at all. i don't have a particularly fast system: p4 3.0ghz, 512mb ram, 250gb sata drive. when compression gets down around and below 70% (often for episodic tv series dvds), which is usually fine quality-wise for my viewing, it does take considerably longer for shrink to analyze and then encode.
how 'bout we agree to disagree... you do it your way and i'll do it mine and we're both happy? i've got other things to move on to... best wishes.

OK-Thats from one disk to another-I use EZ DUB for that-but what about from a file such as AVI or mpg?-From a file to convert to dvd format takes you how long with burning?

@aabbccdd, I fully agree,but according to our expert you have to push too many buttons. Wonder if he thinks it is too hard to get women's clothes off? Is Adriana too much of a challenge?

I have a AMD 64 Athlon with 750 gig HD and `1 gig of ram-using Convert X to DVD. To transcode to dvd format and burn a 120 min. video will take usually 30 to 45 min.-Most of the time nothing else needs to be done to achieve video playback Sony dvd player or Pioneer DVR -but because these compononts are new; this can present encryption problems-So I use Grex from Imax which sits inline between the output and the input of componants-or if I burn with 1 Click DVD PRO all files are cleared-Total time is under an hour from download completetion to the tube-
