Hope this is an ok spot for this...
I use a Mac for all my vhtrading "work" but recently obtained a PC with XP and a dvd burner. If I sit down at the PC with a VH DVD from this current tour, what do I need to do to make an exact copy? My computer has DVDShrink on it, but I think that's for copyrighted stuff or stuff that needs to be compressed. I just want to make an exact copy so I have one (or more) to trade.
Hopefully this is an easy question, I just haven't done anything like this on a PC and when I googled "copy dvd in windows xp" I found a zillion different methods which all seem to apply to copy-protected dvds.
Thanks!

Hey Gilligan,
Shrink is OK, but you have to go into the compression settings and set it to no compression. If it's a single layer DVD that's being copied, there won't be any compression to worry about.
Cheers,
Danny |

DVD Decrypter to rip, and Imgburn to burn. Both free, easy to use, and reliable.

Ah, thanks guys. I'm playing with it right now and it seems pretty straightforward. I really appreciate the help - there are just too many options with this stuff these days, so it's nice to hear from folks who know what they're doing!
Mucho Mahalos!

| Oh, nothing new. I was experimenting with the San Diego show (1 disc) but I've only got a couple more - Anaheim & Ft. Lauderdale. |
