DVD Burner!
 

Hey i just burnt my first DVD. I mean i made a back up. HAHA. Anyway i have the TDK 880N. Im using TDK DVD-R disc. Most of the programs that are out there split the video up onto 2 disk. But i found a trial version tonight and it puts a whole DVD on just one DVD disc. Im pretty pumped. I think im going to be "backing up" more discs.

;D

Do you thin you can burn me a copy of fast and the furious? I am trying to get a big ass aluminum wing and top out at 140 and spin out. I just cant remember the size of the wing. Maybe I should just paint my car green. Or maybe its just the decals. GODDAMIT I am so far behind with this ricer stuff. Haha

Re:DVD Burner!
 

Someone hook me up with a good program to burn DVD's and PS2 games! I don't want to spend $$ for the program so it has to be free or I d/l a trial and get a crack somewhere. Hook a bruva up!

Re:DVD Burner!
 

---- hook me up too

Re:DVD Burner!
 

go to www.afterdawn.com and download a free program called "dvd shrink". That program is the ----. you can rip and compress dvds in one step, it compresses all the stuff to 4.7 gigs or less and you can select whether or not you want special features, different sound formats, etc. Very easy to use. as for burning, and regular ps2 games, just use the burning program that came with your burner. ps2 games aren't copy protected like movies are. I have a Sony dvd burner and it came with Veritas Recordnow DX. Alot of people also use Nero Burning Rom.

i run a HP dvd200i now and my buddy has one of the NEC ones they both work real well especially NEC since they have a quality product for low price. These NEC units are white box they come as if u were a OEM computer builder in a WHITE BOX(duh) and software and maybe some instructions but installing drives is pretty much a generic operation that a monkey can do

this is where my buddy got his pre-modded ps2 for $290+s&h

you just use any dvd burning program and just do a straight up copy but we prefer nero burning rom. you just pay $29.99 for Blockbusters game pass and copy as many games as u can in a month.

Re:DVD Burner!
 

thanks good info.

1. how good is the nec? i passed up the tdk (think it didnt support dvd-r or dvd+r i forget) and sprung for the plextor for my aunt. plextor has undeniably proven itself and i dont think i want any less. im still even scared of trying lite-on as i want more proven reliability. plextor is probably the most reliable piece in my systems over all these years.

2. do these shrunk dvd's on dvd-r's have problems in average tv dvd players? im sure they work in apex, but how about the typical best buy brands. i take it the dvdrw's only work in special players like apex as well?

3. you can do the same with retail ps2 games as well? i thought you had to rip a lot of stuff like the warez groups to fit on smaller discs or doing a straight copy would have too much protection.

i didnt know bb had that offer. think i might have to get a ps2 after i mod my xbox.

Re:DVD Burner!
 

i dunno ive never had a problem with any low price computer component besides a power supply which is understandable. DVD+R is the way to go since is the MOST COMPATIBLE with set top dvd players so ---- DVD-R becasue the media cost all the same now. now the "shrunk" DVDs have no problems they play like regular DVDs no one has to know. you do a dvd copy with the ps2 games. you use to have to rip and do all kinds of ---- to get it to fit on a CD but you can get DVD media for less than a $1 so just do a DVD copy and its done aslong as u have mod chip

Re:DVD Burner!
 

I've got the NEC, havent burned a bad DVD yet, movies/xbox/ps2. If anyone out there wants DVD-X Copy Platinum, the pre ban version let me know. i'll post it up on my server. It's pretty cool, fits any DVD an uses smart compression to make the bitch fit.

*NOTE: I don't condone piracy in any way shape or form. If you are gonna download my copy of DVD-X copy, you are not allowed to unless you Own the software and want a backup, following the rules and regulations of the DMCA. :P ;)

Re:DVD Burner!
 

dvd shrink man the only way to go or if u like the long way DVD Decrypter then DVD2One then Nero it. ONLY WAY TO GO

Re:DVD Burner!
 

I feel so outta date, I just barley got my first DVD player the other day lol

Re:DVD Burner!
 

OK, we need an idiot's guide to "backing up" DVD's. I downloaded DVD Shrink and I put the movie on my hard drive then I used Roxio to burn the file to a DVD-R and it won't play in any of my DVD players. If I want to burn right from DVD Shrink, what do I have to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated by those who are already enlightened in the art of "backing up" DVDs. ;D

Re:DVD Burner!
 

DVDShrink version 2.3 is the BEST one IMHO. Its what I use.

To whoever said DVD+R is more supported, wrong again, DVD-R is more supported, over 98% of DVD players. Whle DVD+R is like 95%. Who cares though, mine supports both, and its an Apex, so whoever else has a clone DVD player made by the company that makes apex products is good to, aka, Go Video and Initial and such.

I have a DVD-R/RW/+R/+RW it cost me 200 this summer, good ----, made by IO Magic.

Re:DVD Burner!
 

well the way i see some manufacuters were only -R/RW but they magically became both -R/RW and +R/RW i wonder why? i dont know where u get ur info but everyplace that has tested the + and - format + has come out ahead.

Re:DVD Burner!
 

I finally figured it out!! I have just successfully created my first back-up DVD! I'm so stoked, this is opening so many new doors for me! I have friends that have DVD catalogs of over 1000 movies and now I can too at a fraction of the cost. Now I just need to buy a bulk supply of DVD+R's. Anyone know of a good place to get them? Now I need to mod my PS2 and figure out how to burn those!!

Re:DVD Burner!
 

Now, another question. Does it matter if I get DVD+R or DVD-R. I'm looking through ebay and I'm finding a lot of DVD-R but not so many +R. I'm using +R right now and it works, so whats the deal?

Re:DVD Burner!
 

I see somone is now starting up their porn collection :P

Re:DVD Burner!
 

it doesnt matter if u use + or - R, but before u buy a mass quanity check to make sure your set top dvd player can do -R.

Re:DVD Burner!
 

Ive kinda been messing with it a little bit lately. When i use dvdshrink w/nero it will only play in my ps2 not my apex or onkyo integra. Dvd decrypter didnt work either. Since im runnin 98se could i have aproblem with fat32 file thing? It just pissing me off. Im using a liteon drive with phillips dvd+r disks. Why cant i just rip the dvd and burn the vob files? Iono anyhelp would be great.

Re:DVD Burner!
 

Does anyone of you have the Pioneer DVR-A07 or DVR-107? I'm thinking of getting it because it burns 8x for both DVD-R and DVD+R....

Any thoughts. Also can I get the software from someone?

UPDATE: Bought the Pioneer one because I read some reviews that the NEC 2500a is very picky about its media and also it doesnt have great error correction ability.

Just any FYI the Pioneer one could be have for ~$121 SHIPPED (THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!) on http://www.esbuy.com/pioneerdvr107.html

Re:DVD Burner!
 

yeah
