DVD Duplication Information

I’m using Vista and would like to know of any good free DVD burning programs. I download my video files in .mpg, .mpeg, .avi formats so, I would just like to know of any programs that I could easily burn files of these formats onto a dvd cd.
thank you.

Nero is the best!

Also I used DeepBurner before, and its pretty good too ^^

I want to make backups of my copy protected DVD's. Traditional software wont do that. I want a good burning software that will burn the entire thing, the cheaper the better. I don't plan on doing anything illegal, I just want backups…
Okay, I just realized that I already have DVD shrink on my computer. I'll give a best answer to anyone who can detail how to use it. Email me if you have already answered.

Here are the tools I use to copy DVDS for my own personal back ups. I know some folks do not trust some sites due to all the junk spyware out there and virus stuff. But look at my answer history, you will see that I can be trusted. D/load the free protection I recomend. I trust the programs I mention below and use them. I also believe in try before you buy.

i have alot of mpg files that i would like to burn to dvd format, does anyone know of a good software that i can get for free that will do this?

Convert the files with http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html and burn it with http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/Data-CD-DVD-Burning/JetBee-Free.shtml

My laptop (HP DV2000) came with Windows DVD Maker and Roxio's MyDVD Basic V9 software. I record my favorite TV shows for later viewing and burning. Unfortunatley, both software programs showed that only two hours of video was going to fit on a standard DVD (4.7 GB).

Can some one please let me know what I need to do? I need to burn the shows but they are bigger than the DVD capacity. Is there a way to break the show onto more than one DVD? Do premium DVD burning software solve this problem automatically?

P.S. I only use blank DVD-R because they are the only ones that work with my regular DVD recorder.

Thanks…

You can try a program called "DVD Shrink". It's a very good freeware program. You can download the latest version here:

http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/DVD-Shrink-Download-4128.html

It allows you to take a regular uncompressed DVD (around 8 GB) and compress it to allow backup to a 4.7GB DVD-R. You can manually control the compression rate, and even remove unwanted parts (movie trailers, special features etc) to maximize the main movie quality. I've found that even compressing by as much as 50% still yields a reasonable result, roughly comparable to a regular VHS image.

I backup my dvds when I buy them so if the originals scratch I have a backup copy (this is legal). I have previously used a free software called dvd shrink, but some movies that does not work for. Does anyone know some really good dvd burning/cloning software? (Apart from Nero and Alcohol120%)

Best software gets 10 points!! Cheers

dvd decryptor it is a hard to find tool since they stopped updating but it can make copies and also save to your hard drive.

I would prefer something free (obviously). I get them on my pc in Video TS files. I downloaded a free trial of Nero 8 and it couldnt burn the DVD and deleted it now it wont let me re-download it. I also used Clone DVD which worked but it wouldn't copy anything but the movie. Any suggestions would help. Thanks

It's not free but I use 1CLICK DVD Copy - burns most DVDs without much problems. You will then need to download (free) a decrypter if you plan to copy protected DVDs , I use DVD43.

I am looking for a decent program that i can download that will allow me to burn a dvd with video from say, google video or youtube. Thank you in advance.

a good program to burn is Nero or DVDShrink but you need a seperate program to download the videos you've mentioned

The one I have won't burn DVD's because it says they are copy protected, but I want to make back up copies of my movies and can't do it with Nero.

download dvd shrink
but make sure u also have nero in your computer
because dvd shrink compress dvd then with the help of nero copy
that file to dvd

I want to burn a video off my PC to a blank DVD disc. I tried Nero, but it is way too slow. It takes about 1:30 hours. I've got 1GB RAM on my PC, and I'm looking for the fastest DVD burner, with amazing quality and sound, and it has to be compatible with as many DVD players as possible.

Thanks for your time.

All software burns at the same speed, its the burner that you need to be asking about. You can get a 16x DVD burner for 15 $ at walmart.

Something that can be used on relatively low spec machine, something that is as simple as drag-and-drop and then click start.
Must be able to burn files to DVD and CD and create standard music cd's.
Also something cheap, less then £20.
Thankyou.
Something I can just install, click on the icon on the desktop and drag and drop files into a list or add them to a list.
Put a disc in the drive and press start.

Something that simple would be great.
I did get software with the burner but it is just useless.

Nero is very good and user friendly. You can download the trial here and see if you like it.
