As a previous Post Noted, there is a "Scam" going around that
says use our Software to make a copy of your DVD. It is merely
a "Wizard" that tells you step by step how to do it. It requires you to download about five (5) programs. You have to use these programs to "Strip Out" the various Data from the DVD, once Stripped, need to convert to additional formats and then Brought ALL BACK TOGETHER WITH THE NEW FORMATS. Not worth it.
BUT THERE IS ONE PROGRAM CALL "DUP-DVD" $39.99 (US) THAT WILL ACTURALLY COPY A DVD WITH BASICALLY A "ONE CLICK" OPERATION. You can get a Trial Free Download from:
http://www.dup-dvd.com/
The program takes the DVD and "Converts it to a VCD".
You must have a CD-ROM THAT CAN READ THE DVD.
It will take about 4-5 hours to read and convert the DVD to VCD, so the best time is to start the copying process before bedtime, that way it is ready in the morning to BURN to CD-R. The Burn Time, depending on the BURNER you have is about 8 Minutes.
SINCE VCD DOESN'T SUPPORT ALL THE EXTRA'S ON THE DVD YOU ONLY GET THE MOVIE, NO EXTRAS like Chapter Selection, Director's Cut, Interviews, Games, etc.
THIS SOFTWARE WORKS VERY WELL AND IS "NOT A SCAM" IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS. I Have made copies of almost 24 DVD's using this product. A great additional feature is that if the Original DVD is "WideScreen" you can tell the Software you want your VCD copy in "Full Screen" (No more black bars at the top and bottom of the screen).
I haven't tried this on a KARAOKE DVD, AS ONLY USE CD+G'S AND DON'T BELIEVE THE KARAOKE DVD'S ARE WORTH THE MONEY FOR WHAT YOU GET.
