hi all im looking for some software that will 'backup' dvd movies to dvd-r it does not matter whether the software will remove extras or just something that will create a backup

Just a note of caution. We tried one for our computer and found it took forever to do. Plus it was awkward.

DVDShrink, DVDXcopy and CloneDVD. Try this site http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/software2.htm

Will take ages whatever, 4.6GB of data takes a while to burn at a few thousand k/sec, but may I humbly suggest alcohol 120% or cd/dvd creator.

with dvd2one i can convert a dvd to 4.3gb in 10minutes.

burning it to dvd-r takes a lot longer though.

ive tryed the various programs above they all say unreadable sectors or encrypted sectors

nearly all the dvd converters won't read dvd's directly, you need to rip them first with a ripper.

Hi Kronas, do a search on Bearshare ( www.Bearshare.com) for what you want and choose Clone dvd and AnyDvd. I`ve used them for years and always found them to be the best!
PM me if you have any probs!

I'm using DVD shrink, and have never had any problems with encryption etc.
