Probs with burning DVDS ????

[GimpsGTP]

i tried to copy a dvd today once it was done i put it in the dvd player and it played the first like min ok then everything got scrambled , is there some sort of copy protection on them or something that would keep me from copying them? how do you get around it?
Thanks

1. Could be protection
2. Sounds like a combination of either crappy media and/or burning too fast

The DVD i was burning was a good copy, and i burned it on the slowest setting , is there a way to tell before you burn if theres copy protection or not

When you burnt it, it wasn't compressed was it?

have you tried dvd shrink?

Indeedy, how exactly did you do the burn?

What software did you use?

What make/model burner are you using? Firmware version?

What specific brand/type media have you used?

Are you copying an original or making a copy of a copy?

I have a sony 16x dvd burner, i use TDK DVD +R disc's , i have NTI DVD-maker gold version 6.7. I just went to video-copy video, put the original DVD in the cd rom and put the blank in the burner and hit copy.

I dunno about that program but it sound very "user friendly" to me which prolly means it doesnt do a good job. Definitely have a go at using DVDShrink

If your trying to copy a dvd movie (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Finding Nemo, Etc) it will not work. There is copy protection on DVD Movies, if your copying a home movie or something, then it might be somethign wrong with the decoder.

use DVD shrink to compress it to an ISO, then burn the output image with DVD Decrypter
