Subject: Tech: DVD Copying Software From: Fred McCormick Date: 22 Apr 07 - 08:58 AM A computer crash has lost me my DVD copying software and I have a number of tv programmes I wnat to to archive. Does anyone know of a free dowloadable no frills programme ? N.B., I'm talking straight disc to disc copying, not recording from scratch. Many hopefuls and anticpatory thanks. |
Subject: RE: Tech: DVD Copying Software From: mack/misophist Date: 22 Apr 07 - 09:57 AM I don't do windows so I doubt if I can help. However, this is a good time to remind you to back up software as well as data. I'd be lost without my academic copy of Star Office 7. |
Subject: RE: Tech: DVD Copying Software From: Fred McCormick Date: 22 Apr 07 - 10:51 AM It should have been backed up by the manufacturers when they sold me the computer. The copier came as part of a bundled software package, complete with backup CD. But the stupid sods forgot to include that particular programme. And guess what? They've now gone out of business. |
Subject: RE: Tech: DVD Copying Software From: Bill D Date: 22 Apr 07 - 11:05 AM In the freeware newsgroup, there is one guy who keeps us up to date on various graphics and audio/video tools. Here is a search on his name,(CoMa, short for ConnieMagnussen, from Sweden) between Jan. and the present for the term DVD. He notes burners, copiers, etc... He is the expert I would look to. Here is one application he refers to regularly. |

Subject: RE: Tech: DVD Copying Software From: Stilly River Sage Date: 22 Apr 07 - 08:13 PM There is a free program that is used to compress and copy DVDs that would work for a straight transfer also, with no compression. DVD Shrink. SRS |
Subject: RE: Tech: DVD Copying Software From: nickp Date: 23 Apr 07 - 04:12 AM Yes, I've used Dvd Shrink with some success. Worth a shot. |
Subject: RE: Tech: DVD Copying Software From: mrmoe Date: 23 Apr 07 - 08:21 AM For straight "disc to disc" copying, you'll need something to rip the protected video ts folder from its home in th original disc. Are you using a PC or a Mac?.... |
Subject: RE: Tech: DVD Copying Software From: Stilly River Sage Date: 23 Apr 07 - 04:50 PM It occurs to me, though, that DVD Shrink uses Nero burning software, and you have to have it already. I think you can download a basic Nero package, and it comes OEM with a lot of burners (I got another disk of it with a recent DVD burner upgrade I did on my computer). SRS |
