Cos eh - that would be sweet.

A bit more complicated as you need to generate vobs etc. You could try DivxtoDVD though

nero would allow u to do what want. And yes, u should be able to use a rewriteable, but in past experience, some DVD players are abit tempremental when it comes to rewriteables

Ditto on the nero ploy, thats all i've been doing with mine, auto converts the format to pal, you have the option of format 4:3 or 16:9 no matter what your format is, well thats so far so good

Does take a while to burn though whilst converting, about 3 1/2 hours for a standard length movie

'Check Condition'

Try an unscratched dvd, do the same for the purpose of testing it, if it doesn't work then you've got a problem.

Are you ripping it using a DVD Rom drive or DVD writer? I always rip using the DVD writer, never fails.

It is the dvd rom / cd writer combo. I'll try it now with the dvd writer

I suspect there are some deliberate bad sectors to stop copying (Definately in some cases - although I don't know about THIS dvd, but it's another idea).

You could try re-authoring in dvd-shrink and select just the film.

nope, seems to be working ok from the dvd writer as Bifta says

strange, 65 % through at the mo, update soon

Well I managed to rip it ok, then I've used dvd2one to shrink it...not, says that i have the trial version and that i can only encode 30 mins of footage

also I tried to shrink it down to 200 mb but the 30 mins that i got was 550 mb, I'll have a look / play.

Also i'm gonna try dvdshrink

let you all know how i get on
