Actually, the law allows you to make ONE copy= for backup purposes, FOR YOUR USE ONLY. Not to make it available to others,= or to copy it from a rented DVD, etc. You need to be the original owner of= the DVD. And, if you get rid of the DVD you're supposed to get rid of the= copy as well. ..::] Sir Troth [::.. _________________________________ AOL: SirTrothX Please, no email at this= address! _________________________________ ::: Original Message by= Trevnal::: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 13:43:17 -0000| Pat, andanyone else listening to= this,|| ******Please remember it is illegal to copy= copyrighted films etc.******|| There are a number of programs out there= that will rip a DVD into either a| AVI or MPG file. =A0Once you have done that= you can then use a normal CD| authoring software, to burn the files or= file into a Video CD.|| CD authoring software - Nero or Easy CD= Creator|| Links to DVD ripping - http://www.dvdc= opyworld.de/dvdcopyworld/encoder.html[0]| http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd2vcd_with_smart_dvd2av= i_tmpgenc.cfm[0]| http://www= digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/encoding.html[0]|| Hope these are of help,||Trevnal| ----- Original Message -----| From: "=A7Pat=A7"= <rhekay@xxxxxxxxxx>||| 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>||| =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 friend has said| you can do it, you can not be breaking any= laws too.|| May be that is of use to you.|| Trevnal||| To unsub or change your email= settings:| //www.freelists.org= /webpage/pctechtalk[0]|| To access our Archives:| http://groups.yah= oo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/[0]| http://www.freelists.o= rg/archives/pctechtalk/[0]|| For more info:| http://www.= freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=3Dpctechtalk[0] To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
