Thought I might start a DVD movie collection and need advice from other pirates on the best way to go about it without paying $600-$700 for a DVD burner.....I can copy a DVD with my CD burner but I need 2 discs to fit it on.
I heard there was some software out there to download that fixes the 2 disc problem.

from what i can think of (whihc is shit all but might help )
think its called dvd clone.
also the person i know that rips dvd seams to convert dvd to divx an vcd is the other i feel
I dont see why u cant use nero ripper thingy,
any ways hope u get better info then i give

I found the resources here to be invaluable when I did some rips *cough* I mean backups :

:: Thanx Black Beauty, very handy.

Read these two guides in order:

http://www.clonead.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/co...onverttoavi.htm

You will need the 4 programs mentioned but it does a great job and you can actually understand the ripping process so you can decide how big the movies end up, quality etc. This also seems to be a quicker method than other ripping processes out there.

Of course, this topic is for educational purposes only and no-one here would knowingly help a software pirate.

Of course Taz, I would never think of copying DVDs for any other purpose than educational.......I try to be law abiding.....and I think that gentlemen like Sir Mick Jagger and Mr. Micheal Jackson should not have to tolerate peasants and low lifes depriving them of making more hundreds of millions of dollars by ripping copies of their performances and not sending them any money.
I'm sure members of Ozstoners would never resort to such a devious act........not even Pipeman

yup, cause I got a friend that does em for me for $5 per disc

I use DVD Decrypter available at http://www.dvddecrypter.com/
for the actual decryption of the video if it needs it ( protected video's do )

From there I burn it to another DVD with DVD copy2 though so sorry I can't remeber off the top of my head what app you need next

if you need other help go to www.dvdrhelp.com they will answer any other questions you have

DVD XCopy is by far the best and well known dvd ripper... pm me if you want a copy. Or get the trial version to test it out from the 321 Studios site at http://www.dvdxcopy.com/

I use Sonic which is a really easy to use copier.
But I havent actually tried to copy a DVD yet,
I have a dvd burner though but cant seem to find any decent places to download from.

I will be trying to backup some of my xbox and ps2 games soon.
anyone got tips on these??

allot of apps don't crack the dvd protection that well I use dvd decrypter and I haven't come across a disk I haven't been able to copy yet

most answers you want to dvd and vcd ripping are HERE


Ferengi you need to mod your xbox and PS2 to be able to play copied games, if your already modded though let me know cause there are HEAPS better options to using a copied dvd which could get scratched and ruined


if you have a moid and are determaned to use dvd's the best software for creating xbox iso's is Craxtion iso maker if you want it let me know and I can send you an uncompiled version or I can compile it for you if your not sure on how to do it. it can be found on the net but it's not in my favorites on this machine

Yeah I havent got the things modded yet,
planning on doing it soon though, but its all so confussing. So many chips and other shit.

Im going to put a large harddrive in the xbox and store my games on it that way.
But I cant do it to the ps2?

Whats your veiw on different mods and chips etc??

personaly I don't use a chip I flashed my onboard bios instead I have used an executer chip and they worked well for me but I wanted a truely evil xbox


if memory serves me right I have asked if you could solder before and you said yeah so just install it yourself there are TOO many dodgy installers I have had to fix a few peoples boxes that have been fucked up buy an installer who just put in a shitty modchip which will probably break on you


CLICK ME FOR YOUR XBOX QUESTIONS


they have a modchip comparison page, a good form and also good tutorial section with everything you need to know about basic modding

DVD XCOpy is a rip it doesn't crack the protection key on all cd's


fine for straign up coppying but from a piraters point of view ( blockbuster vids ect ) it is middle level

I use dvd decrypter too... then dvdshrink 3.2 , it good for saving discs by chuckin all the bullshit extras and giving ya room to put 2 movies on one and shit...
nero 6 ultra is good for general shit...
most of the failing is cos the fucking video stores dvds are all scratched to shithouse... and sum of em just suck (finding nemo dont burn even with special programs made just for it).... neither do prerelease discs but you shouldnt have em anyway... evil pirates... arrrghhhh.....

get all the shit ya need as well as lotsa guides @ www.doom9.org

now sumone tell me how the fuck to mod my ps2 ???? or should i just bin the thing for a modded xbox ???? fuckin gay sony cunts....

....shiver me timbers....

I can teach you to mod it but I would dump it annd go to xbox you can play ps and ps2 games on your xbox anyway


not to mention ALL the other stuff you can do to it , ps2 is WAY too limited for my liking you HAVE to have a dvd burner too where as with the xbox you can just rip[ it directly to the hard drive once it's modded

How do you run ps2 games on the xbox?
The CPU architectures of the 2 platforms are not compatiable to my knowledge, not to mention the completely different OS, graphics hardware, etc etc...

I'd assume you have to use an emulator - doesn't this degrade your performance somewhat badly?

-- Eikel

yes you are correct you do just use an emulator it is actually pretty standard and no provided you get yourself a good emulator or code one yourself the lag in performance is not that much at all, when it comes to stuff like game cube games it is a bit more of an issue because you need to run linux and then an emulator ontop of that. most of the PS2 emulators just plug directly into your dashboard.


so get yoursefl a good emulator and your fine personaly I have no issues at all

That's what I figured, I don't own an Xbox anymore - haven't been a console gamer since the Sega Master System.

I'd be much more likely to run an emulator on a PC however, Xbox's are somewhat behind current hardware specs, the only reason I bought one originally is at $299 (back then) they were cheap hardware for linux boxes.

This site is good if you want a ps2 emulator for the PC (gotta love open-source coders) - http://www.pcsx2.net/

#1. You can not even READ a DVD with a CDROM.
#2. What does your piracy have to do with PC Security?

It is possible, but I think its not saved as DVD format but instead saved as VCD or something.

I havent done this myself but I have brought a few copies of movies that were done in this manner, and they play on my dvd players fine.

Ferengi what he was saying is that a dvd disk cannot be read buy a computer cd rom and he is correct, inorder to read a dvd you need dvdrom capibilities, if your cdrom does happen to read it it means that you have a dvd rom or somesorts

once it is on the computer you can do what you want with it really including putting it onto a few normal cd's , the reason for multiple disks is the size of the file you can fit it all onto a disk but you need to shrink the file so much that the quality is shythouse


stick to two disks or get a dvd burner imo you can pick them up for under 200 dollars these days

software to let you copy DVD to VCD using a CD burner.

That link is just one program that I found on the net, that allows you to copy DVD with a Cd burner. But there are more programs that let you do it, than this one.
You do have to have a DVD drive to read the dvd though. but you can burn dvd without a dvd burner. and players are pretty cheap.



But I know that a normal CD cant read a DVD, so how this works is new to me. I wouldnt have a clue why or how it works, just that it does. :scratchin

I have a DVD burner on my computer but I cant figure out how the hell to use it.
When I treid copying just one "cat in the hat" dvd it reads it as 7.5 gb or somewhere. but the blank is only about 4 or something???

VCDs are not DVDs

true but they are better than a vhs but not as good as a dvd.

Best way to Burn DVD's for free:-

DVD Decrytper = rip
DVD Shrink 3.2 = shrink (to fit a 9.4G Disk on a 4.7G Disk)
Nero DVD ROM = burn

2 easy.

Jack

easy to use and stuff mate??

I have a cd burner and a dvd burner but every time I tried to copy something its bigger than the blank dvd.

I will DL and try those programs.

I use DVD Shrink myself and find it pretty good but for it to run smoothly I think Nero needs to be installed too.

:cool:

Sounds like you are trying to copy a double layer dvd (9.4 gig capacity)
onto a single layer dvd (4.7 gig). Double layer burners are expensive at the moment as is the blank stock. If you have a dvd burning program and burner you can can just copy the 2 architechture folders (audio ts and video ts) to your drive and reburn them.

I use these as well...

get first 2 from www.doom9.org (small downloads)
and get full version of newest nero from there site and then find a crack for it... (25mb)

then stick a dvd in , open dvd decrypter and press encrypt.. then once it finished open dvd shrink, click open files, open the folder the dvd was encrypted to (will be folder on c drive with name of movie)... then press backup.. it will compile the files then automatically use nero to burn them...

discs that aint encrypted at all (usually only shitty movies) dont need to go thru dvd decrypter at all...

badly scratched discs wont work.. other than that the only disc you will never ever burn is finding nemo.. I tried about 3 diff copies of it now, its got sum kind of super encryption...

Double layer burners are FAR from expencive these days


I Currently have HEAPS in stock from 80- 120 depending on your needs external ones I can do for about 140

I think my dvd burner is dual layer because I asked for the best and money wasnt a concern. it doesnt say dual layer on the front though.

Also my mate uses clonedvd2 apparently its click and burn stuff even to cdr.

but thanks for those names and links I will check it out and hopefully get this happening.

thanks guys.




hmm you sell computers and stuff Pure??
I need a heap of shit, plus a window xp disc sometime .

Yeah I sell " computers and Stuff" I have actaully been workign on a list to post up here,

I am also a licenced Genuine intell distributer menaing all my parts are covered under a 3 year warranty and I am licenced to work on warrantied intell machiens



I will have a list up soon , but iit is stuff like hard drives , ram , monitors, printers, memory , digi cameras , cases , Digital media drives and all the rest of the stuff you find in most computer reseller stores the difference being that I am making up a price list specificly for you guys because It's allot loss about makign money than it is with big corperations

ferengi the dual layer burners did come out pretty fast and wiped out the sigle layers in the blink of an eye without much of a change in the price the easiuest way to know is to load up the newest version of nero and if it gives you two options for types of dvd at the bottom then you have a dual layer

i dont have it mate, only sonic.

I did quite a bit of research and experimenting with different programs and this is the resulting routine I use to rip and copy DVDs:

1) Have 'AnyDVD' running in the background. This removes ALL copy protection on the market basically and allows you to copy some discs ripping programs can't.

2) Rip DVD using 'DVD Decrypter' in File Mode.

3) Use 'DVDShrink' to analyse to the ripped content and you can decide what(if any) extras to keep, sound streams, subtitles, menues etc. The more extra unneeded crap you remove the less compression needed for the main movie. If after removing the extras it still requires more than 10% compression ( Compression Level 90% on DVDShrink) then I will not use DVDShrink but will go to step 4. Since I dump all extras and only keep Eng multichannel stream I can use DVDShrink for about 60%-70% of the DVDs I've copied.

4) By far the best encoder available is the 'CCE SP' codec (which costs $2000US for top version). However there are much cheaper but almost effective CCE codecs. To use these codecs you can use a program called 'DVD Rebuilder'. These are professional quality codecs and if more than 10% compression you can indeed see a large difference... the better display/TV you have the more you'll notice. This is kind of a complicated program to set-up and not nearly as simple to use as DVDShrink but the results are worth it.

3) If the DVD was rebuilt using DVDShrink it will have created an ISO which you can direct it to use DVD Decrypter to burn (you'll need Nero installed for this). If you've rebuilt the DVD using DVDRebuilder w/CCE then you'll have to use a program like 'ImgTool' to build the ISO then you can burn it with DVD Decrypter.

Simply search for these programs on Google on you'll find a WEALTH of information on how to use them and how to acquire them (try alt.binaries.dvd to 'try out' the programs that aren't free). Spending a few hours reading will ensure best results and save you frustration.

NO matter what anyone says there is NO single DVD copying program that does everything the best. Each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Hope I've helped as much as I've probably confused. hehe.

I use 2 programs for backing up my dvd's the 1st one is dvdshrink with anydvd to decripte it and a program called 1 Click DVD, when useing 1 click dvd it only copys the movie and takes all the rest of thr shit out u need to be running anydvd to use 1 click dvd, IMHO i have found DVD Shrink and 1 Click DVD to be the best programs for backing up dvd's.

The 1 Click DVD program i downloaded through kazza lite but had to find a crack for it but that wasent hard to find...

how do u burn a dvd on a mac
i have osx 10 can u help

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DVD_Decrypter.htm

this works fine for me

CloneDVD2 and AnyDVD - I swear by this combination.

Not sure if you already solved you problem..

but i used to use a program called dvd shrink.

it worked alright, but i never tried burning the rip on to a cd, and i cant remember exactly what format it rips the dvd to.

::M1557::

DVD shrink is the best for just copying a dvd movie
it removes the macrocode, region code, encryption and resamples it so it can fit on a 4.7gb dvd (as opposed to the 8gb dvds that some movies have)

You can also have the option of removing unnecessary subtitles, audio tracks and menus

I Use DVD Shrink for all my *cough* "back up" needs
