Havn`t heard of anyone trying this one so dont know of any succes (or failure for that matter). If anyone has tried it or heard anything about send a message back. Did it work or not, was the quality as good as they say it should be and how long did it take to copy a disk?.
Hope it works ok... and helps out anyone that wishes to do copies of `their` own disks.
Also im watching big brother right now on channel 4 i hope that lesbian anna wins (lol). Boo nasty nick.

MPEG4 is actually DivX and will NEVER work on any standalone player. Quality is great for the compression but you really need a 1000MHz PC to get great performance at DVD resolutions

does this method allow you to copy dvd`s that you can play on a normal dvd player (by normal what i mean is that you dont need a computer dvd rom to play them). If so do they fit onto a cdr when you follow one of these methods and if so (more importantly which method is the best and easiest to use). Cheers for the reply

no, the MPEG-4 standard requires a PC. it was originally created by microsoft to copyprotect video files but it was hacked a few days after release.
decoding requires a lot of processing power (alot more than dvd needs) so it will be very unlikely that a normal dvd player will be released that can play them.
It is possible to convert the dvd to this format and store it on cd-r, but it lses some quality in the conversion, also a normal 90minute movie takes about 24hours to convert/compress for this format (and that`s with a 1000MHz processor)
