[MBZ] OT: Windows Vista - how copy a DVD?
I know, I know, Trash the windoze OS and switch to Linux!. Sorry, not an option, get it out of your system if you must but know that I'm going to ignore those replies. I need to copy a DVD which was made on a video camera (Sony I believe) because the camera burned the movie to a mini-DVD disc and I need to have it on a normal DVD disc. I want to send the movie to family who have a DVD player and I'm afraid that when they (technically challenged) lay the mini-DVD in the tray of the player it might get off-center and jam. (Is this fear groundless?) Last night I tried for about 2 hours to try to figure it out on my Windows Vista Home Premium laptop. First I copied the contents of the mini-DVD to a folder on my HD. Windows Media Center offers option for burning a DVD, but says the folder with the mini-DVD contents is empty. Apparently the file type (.vob) is not supported. Windows DVD Maker (? not sure I've got the name right, it is a very bare bones program that came on the computer) recognized the file type, but the DVD copy it makes is only 4 seconds long (the first part of the movie), the movie on the mini-DVD is about 20 minutes. I hate the idea of loading a new piece of software to make this work, but that may be the only route. Anyone know how to make the Windows SW do the job, or recommend a good piece of SW for Vista that will do what I need? Some of the on-line forums talked about loading a different codec so that Media Center would recognize the file type. Anyone have a clue which codec? I'm going to keep searching on-line for a solution. -- Very respectfully, /s/ Max Dillon '87 300TD, 310k miles Charleston SC Digest lurker (on and off) since 2001 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT: Windows Vista - how copy a DVD?
Windows doesn't give you a tool to copy a disc to another disc, Linux does, sorry had to throw that in there. Do a google search for burncdcc and see if it can do it. I use that to burn disc images and it works a treat. -Curt Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 11:31:48 + From: Max Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] OT: Windows Vista - how copy a DVD?

Look at Handbrake or Ripit4me (google them and download) -- freeware for doing DVD copies, etc. --R Max Dillon wrote: I know, I know, Trash the windoze OS and switch to Linux!.

Only with an Apple supplied DVD burner, you have to get other software or an update of supported burners. I still vote for DragonBurn.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Windows Vista - how copy a DVD?
Look for Alcohol 120%. It will copy CDs and DVDs as long as they are not copy protected. My guess is that the file that you dragged from the little DVD to a folder on the laptop was just a small placeholder or shortcut file like some of the music CDs have. I've done that before with them. Look at the file on the laptop and right click on it and then click on properties. It will probably be a very small file. That's one of the problems with programs that MSh*** provides. They work like what they are.
