IT Worked. First try!! I use a progam called Intervideo DVD copy 5 Platinum
http://www.intervideo.com/jsp/InterVideoDVDCopy_Profile.jsp.
First i use AnyDVD ofcourse. I can burn dvd to dvd, or save the image and then burn it. Im still working out the kinks to burn it from a saved file, but the dvd to dvd works fine. I was shocked.
Thanks for all the help
Feel free to email me

Ah yeah, DVD to DVD is fine if it's concert dvds! :)
Glad it all ok.
Did you run the firmware update? If not, then dont bother. If you did, then well done. :)

Uhm. As long as they're music? I have not downloaded the firmware update. I wanted to try it without it first. What awaits me w/ movies? A bit unsettling, but i assumed it was going to good. One thing i did notice is that when i tried to save the dvd to file that worked. It gave me 2 Video files called Video TS and Video something else. After that it gave me the option to burn from that location to dvd but it gave me an error, hence I was forced to go dvd to dvd r. I wanted to do file to DVD R because i figured speed would be better. Something about location not being supported etc.?? Ill get back to you w/ exact error message. Any ideas as to what it might be? I have this feeling your gonna tell me to update the firmware again. - Later ill send you a link to a flash file showing the application im using. Talk to you soon.

Well, there is nothing that you can take out or compress in a Concert DVD, so you need DL disks. When burning movies, it's the same thing if you want to keep the menus etc. But, if you want to put just the movie on a single layer disk (which are cheaper :D) then it's different, as you have to take out the menus and other crap and then compress it to fit.
What program gave you the error?
Btw, you'll have Video_TS and Audio_TS; you only need the Video folder, the audio on will be empty. :)

Hello my friend. I am using the DL + Verbatim DVD r's I got them last night. I want to do movies and concerts in one shot for now.Eventually i will start compresssion. Quote:

There is a flash macromedia somewhere for it but i cant find the url. Quite a few url's with alot of info. I probably gave you too many. This has specs and updates as well. You might have an idea of why i get that error message. I think there is a trial dl too. I did alot of research and checked with some mods and afterdawn addicts on the forum and this and xilisoft came highly recommended. I didnt mind paying 49 bucks + 20 to get the dl software and the actual software delievered to my door. It could be user-related as well. I was pretty excited when i started going. Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time.

Well, that program is no good for burning video files/folders, so you can just use it for Disk to Disk copies. When compression comes into it, we can get on with other software. :)

Really? Accompanied With AnyDVD the intervideo software does not recognize that the dvd is copyrighted. Before installing AnyDVD all the music videos were not able to be copied because of the copyright. However you are saying it's useless for copying a movie? Now that you know AnyDVD works with the intervideo software is your reply still the same? If so then i agree the education will continue. As long as you dont mind.

No I didn't say that. You NEED AnyDVD, for any dvd you wish to rip. Also, you need INtervideo for disk to disk copies on DL media. However, you don't wan't to burn dvd movie files ripped with AnyDVD using INtervideo. There are better programs, but we will come to that.

Would those programs happen to be free or inexpensive? Thanks for keeping the "cool teaching head." I'm a bit high strung and this new hobby has gotten me all amped up.

Yes, you can sucessfully remove menus and then burn to a Single Layer dvd all for free.
Here's how to do it..
1. Rip your dvd film to your harddrive.
2. Search for and Download a program called DVDShrink.
3. Open the Video_TS folder into DVD Shrink.
4. Click "re-author" at the top and then drag the "main movie" across to the "new dvd" box.
5. Hit backup, at the top, and DVD Shrink will do it's thing.
This guide will make that bit easier for you.

Now, use this guide to burn those files to DVD.

That will sort you for the other side of it. :-)
Ask away, I'm here to help you after all. :)

I wish all ppl in here were as courteous as you. I will definitly do what you recommend. I dig the idea of less money for the media. Does the compression take away from the quality of the Video or Audio? This has always intrigued me. So in a nutshell when i need a movie w/ (menus and all), I should use DVD + R DL's to burn it. {In essence hold on to my DL's for special things like dvd music concerts or possibly a special movie where i need the menu, bonus features etc.}.. Secondly, i should go buy some dvd +r's and get rolling on movies I get from friends or from other places w/ the DVDshrink? Just want to clarify. I do appreciate your help and will check out the links. Get back to you soon. thanks as always.

No, there isn't a loss of quality that you would notice. Yes, save your DLs for special movies and concert dvds. Also, go and buy some DVD+R Verbatim disks and get cracking on your SingleLayer burning. It's easy once you know how. And hey, if anything went wrong, I'm here to help ;-)
And just to clarify on my part, you need to rip the dvds with anyddv before using DVD Shrink on the files. :)

Use the AfterDawn link, the top one is a scam. You dont ever need to enter details to recieve free software, and plus, there's no new version out. Lol?

No they dont, but there is no need to update it, as it doesn't do anything special, like AnyDVD.

You mean use AnyDVD, not rip? As far as i know AnyDVD just lets the software see the cd un-copyrighted. In my experience. Just want to make sure we are on the same page.

Well, you use AnyDVD to rip the dvds to your hardrive before your process those files with DVDShrink to remove the menus etc. :-)
It also removes copy protection, but that is just a little feature. :D

I didnt realize it had any other features. I thought it just ran in the background. Im at the office right now so i cant look at the program. I have not bought the software yet. I d/loaded the trial. I think i have 14 days left. For 20 bucks its worth buying obviously. I dont think i can get updates until i purchase it either too, so...

How many hours ahead are you? Im on CST. its currently 2:28 pm here. You mentioned you lived in the UK. Went over there when i was 18. Stayed in London a few days. I wish i could go back to explore outside London. Went to Amsterdam, Munich, Frankfurt, got pick-pocketed and in a fight in Brussels @ train station. That was a bad night. Went to Paris.Hated paris.I was too young to apreciate it. I was about partying and having fun. I was with a buddy the summer we graduated high school. One day i'll go back.
It seem people are very pro verbatim ty yuden, what the ? Is a verbatim just a verbatim as long as its the +? if im in a jam what else do you recommend. People are really particular. Im reading about ripit4me, defab somthing, Nero Recode 2. Holy crap...Is all this necessary or are they doing things i have simply not thought of yet?

No, there are LOTs of options to go for. However, stop reading about it, and listen to me. I know that sounds stupid, but everyone has their own method, and @ the moment, I'd like to stick to mine. Lol.
Verbatim is one of the best out there. It is Verbatim if it says Verbatim on the packet, regardless of format. And unless you want to order your disks online, forget Tayo Yuden. :)
Here's a quick run down...
Nero Recode - That's for converting AVI files (they're a video file format)
RiptIt4Me - That's Like AnyDVD, but free. Instead of paying for AnyDVD, you could just get that. I don't use it, but lots of ppl do and there are plenty of good guides for it too.
Defabdecrypter - That's like RipIt4Me and AnyDVD, but is not free, like AnyDVD. I don't know that software at all.
:-)
Off topic; I am from Reading, in the UK. It's about an hour from inner city London by train, but it's far enough away, too. :)
I've been to Paris, and I liked some parts, mainly the nice bits, like the river Seine (cant spell it). There are some dodgy bits though ;)
Never been to Brussels, but I intend to in adult life, as do I Amsterdam, Munich and Frankfurt. However, I'm 15, so will wait a while before going on my travels. :-)

Thats funny man. I trust you man. - Completely. Funny how people get carried away with this stuff. Thanks for laying out the applications. I can understand what im reading now. I was amazed at how quickly new encryption software gets hacked by slysoft and others. Unreal. Had i known this was possible yrs ago, i would have an entire room devoted to movies and concerts. Not to mention i would probably have a mini movie theatre. One day dude. One day.

Anyhow, post any further questions here and I can get back to you tomorrow, seeing as it's about 9pm here, so I'm going to be off about now - can't live infront of the pc, can I; shoudl really socialise with the parents etc. LOL :-P
Yay for the weekend!
Btw, just cos I'm 15 and know this, doesn't mean I live @ the PC :-P
Hehehe :D
