DVD copying

DVD Backup

 

That's what I am using too. It works great.

That is the second step. It doesn't do a backup of the DVD, it just "crunches" the backup to a size that it fits on a DVD-R which only has one layer.

Useless webpage but the software itself is very good. Uses mencoder to rip DVDs to variety of formats including DiVX

 

Many questions for you DVD burn hounds

What about if you want to back up videos and convert them to didgital format. Are there any Mac applications to defeat the encryption?

I ask because I haven't bought a DVD writer, but I will get a new powermac next year and I want to copy all my videos as well as my DVDs. I am aware of plenty of Windos shareware for such tasks. But in the absence of the new Adobe thing, unless your copying an existing DVD, creating your own DVD is an absolute nightmare for them - working out all the compression settings, getting audio to sync etc.

So how good is iDVD & Studio Pro? Are all these problems beat, or are there stills issues to fiddle with?

Thanks.

 

I have something similar to ask here. If I make a home movie in iMovie and burn it to DVD in iDVD how can I duplicate the DVD if I ever want to make more copies for friends/family? I have all my home movies on my HD and 80 GB disappears pretty quickly this way! I'm afraid to delete them in fear that I can't make more copies from the DVDs I burn.

Also, if there is a way in OSX to copy iDVD home-made movies, does it retain menu effects and settings?

Thanks!

 

Toast Titanium should do perfect DVD Copies and should save all your settings. Try it.

This goes from DVD to DVD. Make sure you have a second player if you choose to do this.

If not, and you want to save the DVD to your desktop then reburn the entire DVD, use DVD Backup 1.3.
