Links Updated - Copy DVD's

I have updated the links section of this blog page.

Recently I have had a request for "How To" in regard to copying DVD's. The most popular DVD Burning Software appears to be Nero Burning Rom. DVD Shrink 3.2 works hand in hand with Nero to make a very good DVD Copying package. Shrink does not have its own built in burner program and piggy-backs with Nero for the burning option. If you want to have a try at using Shrink and Nero have a look at the How To document for "Shrink and Nero" in the Everyday DVD Copying section. It is a comprehensive "How To" and hopefully provides detailed step by step instructions on copying your DVD and getting Nero to burn it for you.

If you prefer the one-click DVD copy method have a look at Magic DVD Copier. I have also provided a link to the Magic DVD Copier website which has all the "How To" documents, especially the information on how to Copy a DVD9 to a DVD5 blank disk. Copying takes about 30 to 45 mins. Magic DVD Copier has its own inbuilt burner program so it does not have to have Nero already installed for it to burn disks!

There are some disks which manufacturers have made very difficult to copy with increased protection on them. Narnia is one such DVD which comes to mind! Shrink won't copy this one and Magic DVD Copier may find it hard as well. For disks such as this you will need RipIt4Me, FixVTS, DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0 and Shrink 3.2. RipIt4Me is regularly updated so you may need to ensure you have the latest version (Press the Help Tab in RipIt4Me and select Check For Updates). RipIt4Me is a stand alone program and doesn't require to be fully installed on your computer.

When you run RipIt4Me it looks for the other three programs. Their website (link provided in Hard To Copy DVD's) gives all the details on how to use it.

It takes over an hour to copy one of these better protected DVD's!
