This might be a stupid question, but how do you rip a DVD to a computer. It really depends on how the video files were written to the DVD. Many times you can just copy the .vob or .iso files to your computer and a DVD player could just read the vob folder/files directly. If it's been 'copy protected', you'll need to use an official DVD ripper like Clone2DVD. |

What I meant ...was if you are going to rip a football dvd...the easiest way would be use dvd decrytper...the decryption on most football videos is not that difficult..... then shrink it using dvd shrink ...which you can find on the web with tutorials....
If you are trying to rip a movie....you would have to purchase a decrypter like clonedvd or a slysoftware.....
Read enough and you will find out how to do all this on the web

Here's what I am trying to do. My coaching videos are on VHS. I have burned them to DVD without any problems. I want to rip those DVDs to my computer so when I need to trade, all I have to do is burn them from my computer.
I am also very basic in computer knowledge, so any help would be great. Also, thanks to everyone that has already responded.

Assuming you want to copy the dvd to tape? Since it appears to be a straight dubb then just do it from you DVD player to the VCR. You player will have output jacks that can be connected to the VCR. Whether you do this from the pc to the vcr or from a dvd player to a vcr it will have to be done in realtime. So either way it takes the same amount of time. There is no magical software/hardware that allows you to copy a dvd from a pc to a vcr faster than realtime.

Might be wrong, but if you have a DVD burner, you can make a disk to disk copy. No need to copy them to your computer.

I think thats what stone65 is getting at, he wants to know how to make a disk to disk copy.
What steps does it take to make a disk to disk copy?
I am also in the process of burning all my vhs tapes to dvd for this very reason. Any help would be appreciated.

If you don't have a DVD burner on your computer, can't do it. If you do, its very easy. Insert DVD to be copied and hit "copy", then follow prompts.

If the files are larger than 4.3 gigs try DVD Shrink to get the files down to a size to burn them on a regular DVD-R. DVD Shrink will create an ISO file and you can use Nero or DVD Decrypter to burn it. Otherwise, DVD Decrypter is a good choice.

Is there a way of burning some of the high-lights that various people post on line to a cd? It would be great if I could buy everybody's full cd, but the $$$ is tight as usual and it would be nice to have bits and pieces on one cd. Thanks.

Get a Canopus ADVC 110 converter and plug it in from your VCR to the converter, to your computer. It changes analog signals to digital. You need a capture card and some kind of software (Movie Maker even works) to capture the game in the computer. Then you can burn a DVD copy from your cpu. Lots of steps, but not really too difficult.

What he is wanting to do is have the file on his computer so that when he gets ready to trade, its as simple as popping in a fresh DVD and burning the file onto the blank DVD. This saves you the initial process of copying the DVD to memory everytime you want to copy a disk over.

So he wants to just keep an ISO file on his computer for later burning ...which would save about 6 minutes...but take up a lot of hard space...

Also, thanks to everyone that has already responded. Stone, If you'd like to store your DVDs on you computer, here's what to do. Take one of the DVDs you've already created and place it in your DVD drive on your computer. With Windows Explorer go to your DVD drive (usually D or E drive) and see how your DVD Recorder wrote the files out. It'll typically be a VIDEO_TS folder or a file with a .iso extension. Either way, just copy and paste the DVD contents to a folder on your hardrive. Remember that each DVD has the potential to be over 4GB -- eats up space pretty quick. Another way folks on here have mentioned is to use your DVD authoring software (Nero, Roxio, Sonic, etc) to make a DVD to DVD copy. Every authoring app I've seen has this capability. This will take a bit longer for each copy because it'll first have to read your original DVD and write it to a temporary space on your computer before promting you to load a blank DVD for it to write out to. Make sense? Each DVD authoring application is different but they generally do the same thing. Maybe if you let us know which one you have we could be more specific. |

Also, make a copy of the game you want and get a DVD burning tower. Burn once and make that your master. Then you can erase everything off your computer and just use that master DVD to make all your copies in the future.

You can get like a 160 Gig USB portable hard drive for $60 at comp usa and burn your most popular dvds onto it. It is portable and can travel and plug into any computer with a high speed usb port. You can burn your files directly from the drive to dvd or just swap them on to other peoples computers if they are local. All the methods above also work and I use them all. You just have to find out what you like best.

At 12x (about 10-12) minutes, no problem. |
