DVD burning and copying
 

My new neighbor thinks he is some elite hacker and comes over every few days and gives me some DVDs he copied from blockbuster rentals to watch. The thing is they are all choppy and shit when you watch them. Is this how it is or does he just not really have a clue what he's doing.

I have kinda held off getting a DVD burner as I wasn't real suer what standard they are going to end up going with. Has anyone else noticed any problems like this ?

www.dvdxcopy.com works awesome, be sure to get the deluxe version. no choppy shit, exact copies.

BS on the exact copies.. but the program does have decent compression. you really can't tell the quality has been lowered. even with Lord of the Rings: Two towers the compression was 40% loss and i still couldn't tell.

Do you have anything you like better than dvdxcopy ?

i haven't looked around much. but no.

i havent tried this but , theroritecally If you had a DVD burner and a dvd player, could you just make 1:1 copy like you would a cd?

I have a dvd burner but have not attempted to burn an actual dvd and was curious to whats involved

Whats a good burner out right now?:)

DVD's you find at blockbust are DVD-9 format with total capacity of over 9 GB ... DVD-r's only have 4.7 ! 1-1 isn't possible unless the movie is smaller than 4.7.

yes it will run over on 2 discs... most movies... but some will fit.

anyways heres the best burner out there for the $$

wowo that sucks, but if they are really dvd9 how come the few that i checked all had less than 5GB data/VOB files?

When will these 9GB monsters surface on the market?
