Guest gzaerojon Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 for general dvd/cd burning use THIS for shrinking dvd's for "backup only" to fit on a normal 4.7gb disc use THIS but before you can shrink it, use THIS to remove any copyright and make it region free i can't think of anything else at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 DVD Decrypoter i find can't do ALL copyrights. "DVD Region+CSS" i find can do absoultly everything. Just runs in the background so you don't need to wait to convert it before shrinking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'm backing up my hard drives...inc all my music...so it's just a case of getting as much data on the discs as is possible. Thanks for the info so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Any tips on what's best to convert DVDs to an editable version without loss of quality? I guess a DVD to MPG2 type app? I've not even bothered to look yet so thought I may as well ask here whilst we're on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz supra Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 DVD Santa to convert everything to DVD format and DVDShrink to compress everything DVD wise. I put this info in a thread the other day I've Been using Santa DVD for ages:thumbs: :thumbs: I make all my own dvds and I will be filming the convoy and Jap Finale @ Pod on Sunday, Letting the other half drive the Supe upto the Pod in the Convoy I'll be in the passenger seat filming If you have a tape camcorder (best) Use Windows movie maker, you need firewire on your PC but normally standard stuff these days, if not just buy the PCI Card You then Create your movie , edit , add music and titles It takes all your captures and you drag them down on a timeline same with your music, (you can use this program as well just for pics) then save to PC (Takes ages) Then use Santa DVD to import your movie and burn to a DVD (again takes a while) It works!! and you can play in any DVD Player I would say on average to do a 1 hr movie you are looking at around 2 hrs, thats about an hr or so saving to PC then another while it formats it in Santa DVD Then you copy as many as you like using your own CD Burner ( about 7 mins per copy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
