Maybe O/T (DVD Copying Software)

[Jeff]

This might be a question for another NG but maybe not, if it is just let me
know. Here is my problem. I have purchased three different pieces of
software such as Nitro Burn and Go, this is the type software that the
developers say "All you need is a DVD Player and CD Burner, no DVD Burner
neccesary". I am trying to install it on a 1.7 Ghz Celeron with 1GB Ram. Two
of the three always fail during installation even though the computer
exceeds the minimum requirements and one, although it does install will do
nothing as far as the burning process goes. So I am wondering, is there a
good piece of FREE software out there that will do the same? Burn DVD's to
CD? Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks
J

You can't really burn DVD's to CDs, mostly because a DVD has 6-12 times the
capacity of a CD. You can either convert movie to SVCD, or DivX. Other post
mentiones programs you need to make SVCD, and to make DivX (better quality,
but you need a PC or DVD player that supports DivX to play it, while all DVD
players support SVCD). You need to rip DVD with DVD decrypter, and then
encode it with AutoGK. The process is very simple and requires minimum of
user input and knowledge.
