If you do a search on Google, there's a free= app called DVD Decrypter. Usingthis app, you extract the VOB files of the= DVD. This is basically the movie. Then, you can use another program to= convert the VOB files to a format that will fit either in a standard blank= DVD (DVD-R, DVD+R, etc). If you want to make the backup on regular CD's= (either one or multiple), you would convert the VOB files to a VCD or SVCD.= SVCD is better quality, with alower compression rate, therefore taking up= more CD's. Another freeware appcalled DVD Shrink (although a bit harder to= understand to use) can be used to make the movie files smaller. ..::] Sir Troth [::.. _________________________________ AOL: SirTrothX Please, no email at this= address! _________________________________ ::: Original Message by= =A7Pat=A7::: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 05:38:24 -0500| Oh I would like to do that.can you explain= how please?Ive done all my| peabrain can think of the copy= this| Pat| "Inside every older woman is a young girl= wondering what the hell happened."| -Cora Harvey Armstrong-| http://www.duirwaighgallery= com/inspirat[0]| ion_trailer.htm| http://wonderofitall.com/[0]| ----- Original Message -----| From: "Trevnal"= <trev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>| To:= <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>| Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 2:38= AM| Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Re: DVD||| =A7Pat=A7,|| You could rip the DVD to your hard drive= and then turn it into a VCD or| SVCD. =A0As the material should not be= copyrighted and your friendhas said| you can do it, you can not be breaking any= laws too.|| May be that is of use to you.|| Trevnal| ----- Original Message -----| From: "=A7Pat=A7"= <rhekay@xxxxxxxxxx>||| darn =A0ok thank you| "Inside every olderwoman is a young girl= wondering what the hell happened."| -Cora Harvey Armstrong-| http://www.duirwaighgallery= com/inspirat[0]| ion_trailer.htm| http://wonderofitall.com/[0]| ----- Original Message -----| From: "Rick"= <union865@xxxxxxxxx>||| =A0 =A0You can copy most any CD, but not a= DVD.=3D20||| Rick=3D20| -----Original Message-----| From:= pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx|| so my cd-writer dvd player wont= work?| I can copy regular music cd's= though| P|| "Inside every older woman is a younggirl= wondering what the hell =3D| happened."| -Cora Harvey Armstrong-| http://www.duirwaighgallery= com/inspirat[0]| ion_trailer.htm| http://wonderofitall.com/[0]| ----- Original Message -----| From: "Rick"= <union865@xxxxxxxxx>|| =A0 =A0If I read your email correctly, you have= a DVDyou are trying to copy| with a CD-Writer drive.
