Most movies are encrypted using the CSS scrambling system. DVD-Rs have a ring containing some pre-recorded content which makes 1:1 copies physically impossible (CSS information would have to be stored at the place of the pre-recorded ring - this is an anti copy measure). DVD+Rs cannot contain CSS encrypted movies either. Thus, we have to first rip the DVD to our harddisk.
Step 2: Burn the DVD
Now that we have everything on our harddisk we can burn it to a DVD±R disc.

Quote:DVD5 - This is the most common replicated DVD produced. A DVD5 will hold approx 4.7 GB data or 120 minutes of high quality audio and video. All DVDs contain two substrates that are bonded together. On a DVD5, one substrate contains the data on one layer and the other is a pitless layer without any information. A DVD-R or DLT (digital linear tape) is suitable as a master for replication.
Quote:DVD9 - This DVD format can hold up to 4 hours of audio and video or 8.54 GB of data. It is a dual layer disc. Many films are now produced on DVD-9 because there is more capacity for extra features such as trailers and cast interviews. A DLT is the only acceptable master for this type of DVD.
dvd-dl IS DVD9, there is no quality difference, just DVD9 (DL-DVD)
IS structured differently, has more layers and so can contain more data
i'd use just a normal dvd-r/+r DVD5, dual layer disc's cost more and you wont get many films that take that much time (get a few dl-dvd's so if you get a movie that has over 120 minutes you can burn it to one disc)
oh no man dvdsanta is great, i mean apparently it is a bit behind and the resolution maybe a little less fine, but it's nothing i can see plus
dvdsanta has never given me a headache, i mean how many forums do you see open with people complaining about nero, probably a hundred, dvdsanta probably ZERO!
dvdsanta is slower then convertxtodvd, but let explain
Quote:Program's encoding engine is pretty fast and produces good-quality results (of course it can't be compared to multipass encoding with CCE, but the easiness and the speed of the software makes it up)
