How Can I Burn Dvd Movies On Dvd-r???

check out doom9.org for more info.


Basic compressing I would use DVDFab decryptor to rip the movie.

Then use Clone DVD or DVD Shrink to compress

then burn using IMG Burn


Or if you really want to go high quality rip with above mentioned program

then use DVD rebuilder combined with CCE to get a high quality encode (however can take all night to encode )

I've tried quite a few options and I would recommend:

purchase anydvd $40 to run in the background removing PUO's and encryption (they update often to remove the latest and greatest)


use dvd shrink with "burn with imgburn" option, you'll have to google the dvdshrink/imgburn combo program (dvd shrink and imgburn are free)


You can do this all for free of course but you'll have to do much more user interaction, whereas this method is only a few clicks in dvd shrink


I would also recommend only using Verbatim dvd+r's, the quality in other brands can vary considerably. Also some players don't care for certain brands but i've never had a problem with Verbatim.

like is too complex already. many 14 yr olds have alot of spare time. the rest of us work for a living and have "stuff" to get done and don't want to spend hours and days learning how to edit a video file. Briandead is the best way to go.


There are more things than video - even on a PC. one can spend yrs learng how to use Virtual Dub and editing DVDs or more hours learning how to add subitles to the AVI-Divx files you labored over to get to encode. or spend days learing how to use some Sound editing application or some Photoshop or GIMP frontend for graphics. or wresting with some unuser friendly app like so many usenet binery prgrams just to get on the usenet and get a simple file or two.



there are only so many hours in a day and so many days in a year.


I for one like programs that do not require a PHD to use (bragging rights go to those with a crapload of free time) and just "work".


I've been using computers for 15 yrs now and used to load up all the latest and greatest crap every month or so. Well - it took me years but I finally figured out that of the 50 or so apps I had installed I used maybe 5 of them.


Now I have far far fewer apps on my PC - and I've learned to cut the fat. Apps like Nero (ones that used to do ONE thing and ONE thing well............got malignant, bloated and too complex to justifiy their continued existence.


I dropped Nero for a simple freeware CDburner program. It does what Nero 4.0 did.


oh ya - I use Winamp 2.78!!! and freeware "media player classic" for simple vids.

oh ya - as mentioned above - media brands (not brand but really die manufacterer) do matter.


the problem is the brands now outsource the die - so the brand no longer means anything - you have to find out where the DVD was actually made! and this is not usually findable information.


stay away from Princo (and COMPUSA - really Princo) - their die is unstable and fade - FAST. You video will be gone in 6-months. I bought 100 of them 3 yrs ago, got rid of them for 5-bucks to a guy who was using them for temporay storage use.


I like Matix brand and cheap - but again brand means nothing now - so the best thing to do is buy a sample and set them on your car's dashboard face up inthe sun for a month - pull it out and try playing it on your DVD twice a week. Summertime is opitmal time with the sun and heat!


I did this and after a couple of months figured out which DVDs were stable and which ones were crap.

Opitdisc was CRAP - video become unplayabe after TWO DAYS in the sun!! disc was diss-colored too!

generic-14centers lasted 2-weeks (good enough I figured since the overall winner was the Matrix brand at one month).

TDK only lasted one week.


none lasted more than a month - so I expect the real world lifetime from the best discs is probably 10 yrs maybe?


I've had 2-3 percent of my CDrs go bad since the late-90s. Lost some good stuff too ;-(. I make 2-copies of everything now.................matter if data integrity



I had ALOT of compatablility problems with DVD players.


Save your self alot of heartache - go buy the cheapest brand DVD player there is (Durabrand -20 bucks)..................the new cheap players will play ANYTHING!!


After I did that - I bought 400 no-name DVDs for 14-cents each and never looked back.

DVD Fab Decrypter will rip any movie (even the latest ones). I believe this is newest version

DVD Shrink will re-author your movie so you can remove extraneous stuff like warnings (LOL), trailers, extra languages and features, sometimes even another copy of the movie itself embedded within the original disc. That way you have less compression when you save the movie
