[toviolent]

This might be off the topic but Im new to this burning thing I use recordnow max to burn my dvds this is the first time Im going to try this Ok I got a dvd movie and I want to back it up with dvd-r can I just make copy using make an exact copy I heard that dvd-rs can only really record 3.9 or something and not 4.7 so will my dvd fit on dvd-r the dvd is friday after next I just want to make a exact copy can I do it? Thanks in advance

You can't just copy a dvd. There are protections. You can only fit about 4.38 gb on one dvd. You have a few options. There is dvdxcopy, that is what I use. It usualy requires 2 discs for a movie becuase most movies are bigger than what 1 dvd holds. This program keeps all extras and true dvd quality. And there is dvd2one or dvd shrink. These programs compress the movie to fit onto one disc. The quality loss isn't very noticable if at all.

hip hip hoowrong dvd's dont have protections i have over a thousand backed up dvds and never ever come across a protection the only thing that u might have to do is take special featuresa out or degrade the quality using dvd shrink

after doing this if its needed then u can burn it with prass, recordnow, nero what ever u want okay

Then macrovision must be a really cool extra feature then huh?

Yeah and the "Encryption" is just for kicks.


Maybe you should drink a few more beers to get back to a normal state of mind.
