DVD Copy?

josuem · 11-30-2004, 04:53 PM

Ok, I might take some heat for this, but here goes. I recently made a video and gave it to my freind who has a Mac. He took the camera video and put it onto a dvd for me. Now what I need is to make copies of that dvd for my freinds. I have access to a DVD burner, so, that's not a problem. The dvd has no copy protection, even if it did, it wouldn't matter as I made it. I tried sticking it onto a CD in mpg format, not sure which mpg format, but the quality stunk. If ya'll have any suggestions, let me know.

nero 6, straight dvd copy. any dvd copying software will really work since it isn't encrypted

Right, probably should have mentioned this first, but, I'm more looking towards the cheaper if not free side of software... Thanks

rip it again, just do a better job.How good is the original?If you can get 480x320 resolution and an average bit rate of of 900 or better when ripped it should look good.Depending on who the copies are going to you could save some space and rip it into divx or mp4 format.

if you want free software to do this kind of thing linux is the way to go, all this can be done for free with linux
