Page 1 of Help with copying dvds

Hi

I am trying to back up my dvds. I am using Intervideo dvd copy.

The program runs fine, and seems to make a copy of the dvd OK, however whenever I try to play it back in any dvd player - including my philips dvd recorder, the pic and sound just break up. Its as if the dvd player cannot pick up the signal properly.

I am really new to this, is there anything I am missing. I am using a Packard Bell DVD+RW

You`re missing DVDShrink. Use that instead, it`s by far the best one-click `backup` solution.

More likely to be the blanks.Try a +R rather than a +RW to test as +RW is less compatible.Try to use good branded blanks always.
Test them on various players as +RW will play perfectly on some and not others.I would avoid white topped discs too.If you have problems,white tops don`t help

Blank discs, CD and DVD I use memorex and TDK (make sure what your writer can burn in regard to DVD`s +R or -R)

Then the software.....

any dvd

this will get around regions and copy protection. 15 day trial then £21 .. (no cracks available for this one!) But for the £21 it`s worth it. Get`s around Copy protected cd`s, regions and RCE and makes sure your drive doesn`t get permanently locked to a region! brilliant.

dvd shrink

this will rip and burn the dvd...and it`s FREE!!!

nero works with dvd shrink and will automatically burn the disc as part of the dvd shrink process


Most of the people I know use dvd shrink and the nero and any dvd combo. and the results are astounding.

I use DVD Shrink, which works in conjunction with Nero for the burning of the disk. I can`t see why you`d need the AnyDVD step, as DVD Shrink removes the region and RCE encoding anyway, so you end up with a no-region disk.

Two steps in DVD Shrink:

1: Open Disk
2: Analyse Disk
3: Backup

Easy-peasy! :)

I thought DVDShrink allowed the removal of RCE providing you specify the region it was from?

In the Backup step on DVD Shrink, under the Region options you can choose to have it in one region, or tick the box for region free. I use the region free option. As RCE (Region Coding Enhanced), is still region coding, I took it to mean region free removes it all.

I might be wrong, but I`ve never had a problem playing any disks, but I think our player will play RCE anyway though.

if you can get hold of a download dvd region killer will make your dvd region free both rpc1 and rpc2 it`s no longer updated but it works ok. and it is totally free

i use dvd shrink and dvd decrypter to copy with both work really well
