DVD Burning Help! ?

[BigFrankMD]

If there are any experts out there who can recommend some DVD burning programs ( free if possible ) I would appreciate it. Also I do need a little help in setting up the burns. Been trying to burn some of my collection to no avail. Thanks in advance.

Rip the original dvd with DVDShrink, then burn it with Nero burning rom, always works for me.

Try DVDFab Decrypter. It's free and it does a good job with new releases. I recommend this because it is continualy updated and user friendly. Personally I use RipIt4Me but it isn't updated anymore and isn't very user friendly. Once I have the files on my HD I use DVD Rebuilder Pro but you could use the free version with HCenc. DVDShrink was a great program in it's day but alot of the newer releases won't rip using just DVDShrink. Though, it still is a great transcoder to shrink files to DVD-5. I use ImgBurn to burn to DVD. PM me if you have any questions and I'll try to help.

with anydvd installed next to DVDshrink you can rip anything.

Use dvd shrink to compress files this is a free program. I use anydvd to decript the movie this program cost like 30 bucks and is well worth the money. It has free upgrades for life. I think you can get a free 30 trial to check it out. It runs in the back ground of the pc. Then you will need cd burning software such a nero or roxio . I use roxio.

You are absolutely correct. But did you know that AnyDVD has a built in ripper? So if you are stictly speaking of ripping AnyDVD can do this by itself. Also, AnyDVD is not free. Well it can be but that is a different subject. I was trying to stay with free solutions.

ImgBurn is free and it does a fantastic job of building and burning of DVD files. It is written by the author of DVD Decrypter and is free.

MAC or PC?

DVDFab Decrypter to decode to DVD
DVD Shrink to compress the DVD
IMG Burn to copy finished DVD
These are all freeware programs and they work great. I've never had a problem burning DVDs.
