DVD burning

[ICIT2LOL]

I have not done any DVD burning except for bootable disks so am at a loss at what to pick for software - preferably free - to copy some old and newish DVD's as take away copies.

So can anyone please suggest some software that might suit as a Google lists a cast like Ben Hur and I don't really know what I am supposed to be looking for

For burning DVDs that I want to watch with a DVD reader, I use DVD Flick. Has always worked for me. But read the instructions first.

I'm a Nero user but it's not free but is available for 30 days free.

You may try DVDFab HD Decrypter free version. Free DVD Decrypter,Blu-ray Decrypter from DVDFab. Get Free DVDFab products, and try out DVDFab for free.

The free version has some limitations. While it can copy full movie for sure, I am not sure whether it can copy only the main movie. You can experiment.

Then again you may not be able to copy/burn directly to a DVD. But it can create an ISO which you may then burn it to disc even with the Windows native Image burner.

Ok jumanji will try this as the last one as I think the DVD I am trying to copy is not going to be able to be copied.

If you have "difficult" DVD"s , then you can download and try the 21 day trial version of AnyDVD HD SlySoft AnyDVD HD. The download will be the latest updated one.

Right clicking on the AnyDVD icon on the system tray, you can only rip the full disc to hard disk (Folder) or ISO image.

EDIT: Before you write the ISO to an optical media, you can mount it on Virtual Clone Drive and check it plays OK. http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html

Just for grins and giggles, John, have you seen the free ImgBurn?

It supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CCD, CDI, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI. It can burn Audio CD's from any file type supported via DirectShow / ACM - including AAC, APE, FLAC, M4A, MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, PCM, WAV, WMA and WV. You can use it to build DVD Video discs (from a VIDEO_TS folder), HD DVD Video discs (from a HVDVD_TS folder) and Blu-ray Video discs (from a BDAV / BDMV folder).

Yeah mate actually I have it on the machines but didn't think of looking there because I was thinking it would not be able to do the job.

The DVDfab did the job and gave me a chance to burn a second DVD after that it looks as if it needs re downloading to star again but I was surprised at how really quite quickly it did it. The quality was good too when I tried it out on the Blu ray player.

I actually wouldn't mind paying for this one but there is only the choice of credit card deals and that is something I never do.
