ok, i have a 24x liteon and a 16x hitachi dvd rom.
i also have a 7200rpm 80gb seagate hd.
just bought christmas vacation (chevy chase) and would like to burn it to my hardrive and then to a cdr. i have nero and clonecd.
ive backed up my original cds like my games and music but NEVER attempted dvd backups. do i have enough stuff to start? i really dont want to buy a new dvd writer cuz im sure ill buy the one with the format that will be thrown aside in 6 mos. lol
any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I am very new to this too, but I saw that no one has replied so I thought I would post you a few lines. I have copied a dvd disk to vcd, it took me hours of reading from the internet and tons of downloading software to use, but I did it and made a good copy of a dvd movie, but that's the only one I did because it's not really worth the work it takes!! not to me anyway. Ok, first thing you need to do is to READ from the internet about how to do this because it can not be explained in a few words here at this forum. When you have read and downloaded some software to do the rip then you should post questions at the dvd copy forum. What I used was a rip pack called VCD galaxy dvd rip combopack which has 3 programs that are actually all you need to make aworking vcd movie. I don't remember where I got that pack from maybe at ####://www.dvdripguides.com
Anyway, the dec####g from dvd to avi can take over night which means leaving your pc on the whole night working for like 13 hours! Just search and read and you will master a VCD in a short time!
Good luck
