Burn/Rip movie files/dvds

jayd · 07-28-2006, 12:10 PM

What software do I need for this?

I currently use WMP 11 for CD burning, but doesn't seem to hold a dvd burn/rip component.

And to add, laptop IS compatible to burn/rip DVDs.

Any help appreciated.

NERO for all your burning needs

you'd need a dvd ripper software to rip movie files, but I'm not sure if talking about that is allowed in this forum. Why don't you look up www.videohelp.com

Some discussion about DVD burning, then a little legal.

DVD burning is perfectly fine, and the next version of Windows will include an integrated tool for burning DVDs that will be operational for anyone that has a WDDM enabled graphics card.

There is a bit of a legal sticking point for DVD copying/ripping in the USA, and I believe the EU. I can speak on behalf of how it effects the USA here, (even if you're not, just for general knoweldge). It is legal for a consumer to purchase and use DVD ripping software to backup/copy one copy of their own purchased DVD. However, the DMCA makes it illegal for companies in the USA to sell/offer for free download, this software. DVD copying software sold in the US will only be enabled to copy/rip non copy protected software. The DMCA states that, again, and software sold in the US must not be enabled to copy or circumvent copy protection on copyrighted discs.

So, in short, you can get software and use it, however, you will be getting it from another country. Your local store shouldn't be allowed to carry it.

SC7, your intrepretation of the DCMA issues are incorrect. In most countries and North America in particular, it is illegal to circumvent any digital copy protection or to reproduce copyrighted material without permission. You may not make so-called "backups" of dvds. Where you get ripping software is irrelevant. Using it is illegal.

There are reasons why this legislation is draconian but it is the law nevertheless.

If it's video you created with a camcorder or animation software etc, you are the copyright holder. You can copy your stuff.

Hmm, I see. That was my mistake. I was thinking of the DMCA, and then there's the DMCRA. Digital Media Consumer's Rights Act. However, I still have read several times that it is legal to copy discs you own. As a matter of fact, it almost has to be. Fair use would require being able to make a backup copy for archival purposes. Then again, we all know how out of control the industry is, so maybe not. Oh well.

Edit: Quote from cNet: "The ability to create copies of the media you've purchased for personal use is a long-accepted facet of the fair-use doctrine in U.S. copyright law (at least, it used to be). However, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) states that it's illegal to break the CSS copy-protection mechanism employed by most commercial DVD movies. "

Interesting indeed

1: If you own a CD or DVD is it legal in the United States to copy it?
Yes. However only for your own use.
2: If copying my CD or DVD is legal Then what is not legal?
It is not the copying of the CD or DVD that is illegal but the decrypting or cracking of the copyright protection software that is illegal. So if you want to make an exact copy of a CD or DVD for use in your own home/car/whatever then you can as long as you own the CD or DVD not renting it or borrowing it. If you want to take your DVD or CD collection that you own or don't own and put it all on one disk or whatever then this is illegal as it will require you to break/crack the legally protected copy protection to do this. In the case of the PS2 attempt if you just want to make an exact backup your fine. If you want a compilation CD or DVD no you will be breaking the law. Please note that this does not mean that it can not be done or that there isn't any software to do this exact thing BUT IT IS NOT LEGAL. Also note that this does not mean that there are not legal ways of doing this but it is much more difficult now (programing errors/glitches/etc).

Note:
1: Music CD's are different due to the technology involved but not by the law.
2: RIAA defines piracy as anyone who copies a CD or DVD without the copyright holders permission.
3: The United States Government defines piracy as a person who sells or distributes copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder.
4: Microsoft says that if you lose/damage/stolen your CD or DVD of their software then you must buy a new copy.
5: The license for you OS is on you PC case so legally any copy of the exact same version of the exact same software is technically legal. However you should read and understand the conditions/license/etc that you must agree to before being allowed to use the software as it is a binding and legal contract BUT NOT A LAW.
6: Yes most DVD decrypting software is illegal in many countries but not all as an example China has no copy protection laws and I do not think that Mylassia does ether. You should look it up or find out from Government agencies near you and NOT A COMPANY as they will always slant it in their favor.

How do I know? I had to as I was selling my services as a CD/DVD mass duplication technician.

Get more info from the Library of Congress on United States laws not websites or even (gulp) forums. (this also includes uh... me) Got root?

Burn it! But burn it legally. :)
