o.k a few questions to the ao3/ao4 users about dvd-movie backup

ps2 dvd's - dvd-r work a charm 100% success

my question is whats going on with dvd movies I bought a few when i was oversea's (bali) and have been copying them without hassel on an a04

anything thats released here on the street seems to be way too big to fit on a 4.7gb dvd-r I have heard about splitting the movie onto 2x 4.7gb disks but that sucks, everything i got overseas is the full movie and maby a couple of trailers on a 4.7gb disk what are the bootleggers doing?

I think they are extracting the main video files and building their own menu screens using photoshop to give the users access to the movie. sounds faily straight forward, on a few though they still have the scene selection stuff from the original too.

how do i go about learning to do this?
Guides?? DVD-copy forums???

I have a mac G4 with DVD studio pro and Pioneer-104...
could also use my girlfriend pc and put the 104 into that she runs windows 98.

:confused:

should I wait for a dvd-r drive that can burn the DVD9 format/size disks??
I hear a few ps2 games will be coming out that are om the DVD9's

if so are there any IDE DVD9 burners on the market ????
What about DVD9 media does/will it work in an a04 the same way standard 650MB cd-r's worked in cd-r drives and then later the 700MB ones came out???

Any help or links anyone could give me would be appreciated

Thanks,
Elkay

Well like you said 650 meg CDR was around and then 700 megs pop up..After that 800 meg generics and such arised..
But DVD9 is Pressed from what I heard with half and half of Audio and Video..For the time being there is NO DUAL LAYER Burner on the market..NOT ANYTIME SOON. Since technology is advancing it will happen just don't know when..
Closest thing is DVD-Ram drive which has 9.4 media's..
Go to www.doom9.net
This is dedicated forum for DVD issues..
For now A04 is the Best..My case A03 with Ext Firewire which does Fastest maximum Stable Output..It's Great..
