get a copy of DVDShrink 3 Beta

get Nero Burning ROM or Clone DVD (I prefer clone DVD coz it allows Disc labels up to 30 characters)

rip with DVD Shrink and then burn with the other... done.

This is the simplest way I've found to explain for n00bs to DVD burning...

if you wanna mess with IFO's VOB, demux and remux and also combine multiple DVDs onto one, then ummm read up at dvdrhelp.com and doom9.net

if you really have no clue and u'r around my area come over n i can sho u how to do it

CloneDVD is the biz to squash the movie .. then Nero 6 to burn.. Get them down to 4.7gb every time.

I assume you're talking movies here? other things are a little different..

What about copying playstation 2 games?? is it the same method?

Get DVDXCopy. It is undoubtedly THE easiest way to copy dvd movies. Forget arsing around with multiple programs. It will get round most copy protection, and automatically shrink larger DVDs to fit onto standard media. All from one simple click of the "start" icon. Easy. Even my mum can work it.

NB: you can usually find the lastest version and a crack on Kazaa

DVDXCopy also happens to be the most butchered app out there, the compression engine is one of the worst I've seen, makes it all nice n pixelly compared to the other methods.

Is there any difference between DVD-R and DVD+R??

They're even easier..don't even take up a full DVD most of the time... i just just use nero to do them

Is there any difference between DVD-R and DVD+R??

DVD-R is a cheaper.. thats about it in a real world sense, and I guess slightly more compatible with more devices.

I'd be careful about dicussing topics which promote breaching of copyright laws if I were you boys.

Only in the devices that read em, they're both the same capacity and around the same speed at burning. -R was popular for a while (more players can read -R than +R), and then all the +R burners started supporting -R as well so its hard to differentiate these days

[funkymonkey]

Should be OK since no one's offering a service or promoting pirating DVDs, just letting ppl know how to use freely available tools to backup their DVDs

[Tosh]

fair call funky

[camandcandice]

Yes this is correct this is for "backup" purposes only.

I have tried the dvdxcopy and it didnt work, well the program said that it had completed the dvd but when i went to play it, it didnt work and the computer doesnt even reconize the file types on the dvd now.

Any how were are you guys getting your nero 6 from are you buying it or has some one found a keygen that works?

As for playstation2 games...best thing on the market to back up your games....ALCOHOL 120%.....check it out.

As for DVDs

Xcopy Platinum is the way to go for easy of use.

CloneDVD Can now do the same as Xcopy.

DVDShrink-it will do just that as well as basic re-authoring.

IFOedit and other will allow for more changes to movies...etc.

Also for DVD mastering Gear Pro 6.05 is great.

Thats my 2cents
