The Official How-To Burn/Backup Your DVD's

p0ink

p0ink

New member
since i get asked about 3 times a week how to backup your dvd's, i am just going to write this tutorial.

let us begin, shall we?

Required items
a DVD burner
blank DVD-R's (use minus, not plus)
Slysoft AnyDVD
Slysoft CloneDVD
Your legally owned/purchased DVD's

Software

ok, you will need two software applications; AnyDVD and CloneDVD. you can purchase them legally, or you can find them on the internet. i don't participate in or condone piracy.

AnyDVD is a software application that will run in the background and remove any and all copyright protection / encryption that is on your dvd. it is one of the best windows applications i have ever found, and i hope everyone here will support this company.

CloneDVD is another application that will do a direct copy of your dvd. what do i mean by direct copy? i mean it will copy everything found on the dvd (menus, the movie, director's commentary, etc). it will also let you pick and choose what you want to burn (do you want to burn just the movie or do you want all themenus, FBI warnings, etc?). It will also compress the audio/video to fit on whatever media you want to burn it on (cd-r, dvd-r, double layer dvd, blu-ray, etc).

i have yet to use any program better than these two.

Burning Your DVD's

ok, once you have followed the simple installation instructions, it is time to burn your dvd.

1. insert the DVD you wish to backup into your dvd drive

2. wait a few seconds for AnyDVD to remove the copy protection

3. open CloneDVD

4. click "Clone DVD - clone a dvd including all titles and menus"

5. click the drop-down menu "DVD video files:"

6. pick the drive letter / Video_TS (ie D:\Video_TS)

7. this will then load all of the different titles available on your DVD

8. click on the titles that are now listed in the right hand box to preview them

9. un-check all of the ones you don't want to burn on your disc. the movie file is always going to be the one with the longest play time, so make sure you don't un-check that one.

10. pay attention to the bar on the bottom right of the screen. the more green you have it, means the less data which has to be compressed. this will result in better picture / audio quality

***NOTE - i have burned stuff at 60% (almost in the red), and there isnt much of a noticeable difference).

11. once you have all of the titles you wish to burn selected, click Next on the bottom right-hand corner.

12. under the box 'Stream Preferences' un-check any foreign languages, director's commentary, and subtitles that are listed. this will make for less compression needed.

13. under 'Stream Configuration' on the left-hand side, make sure only english audio is checked.

14. click 'Next'

15. on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, you will see a box titled "Temporary directory for video files". pick any directory to temporarily house the movies you will be ripping.' check the box right under this titled 'Delete temporary video files after writing.

16. click 'Go'

17. Your DVD will now be ripping. This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on how much data is being ripped and/or how fast your computer is.

18. once the DVD is done ripping, the cd-tray will open, and the program will prompt you to insert a blank dvd.

19. insert a blank DVD-R

20. close the tray.

21. the DVD is now burning, and it should be done in about 20 minutes.

22. your DVD is done burning.

23. close out CloneDVD

24. send p0ink lots of karma.

there you go.
 
Mucho gracias! A friend loaned me his whole collection of DVD rareties last night to copy and I wasn't relishing the thought of trying to find a walk through. I'm taking this as a good sign.
 
Why do you say to use DVD -R and not +R? Is that media better? I have had great success with +R, but if -R is better I will switch.
 
ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Thanks!

Some drives seem to like one better. I burned a ton of coasters using +R on Windows with Nero; almost a stack of 50. With Linux I don't seem to have trouble with either one.
 
anydvd and clonedvd are available for a free 20 day trial. the full versions are also available on many torrent sites, but that would be stealing if you downloaded something you didnt pay for.

I think it really has to do with all the different Win32 ASPI layers out there. I haven't had a single problem burning anything under Linux while I have a ton of coasters using Nero.
 
dvd+r's just have real compatibility issues. they may work on newer players / drives, but they dont always read on older players, game consoles, older dvd drives, etc.

dvd-r is just the safest route to go.
 
Thanks for the info. My computer is only about 6 months old, so I don't have much of a problem. I actually use 1-click DVD, with 2 drives. Walk away and it's done in about 15-20 minutes.
 
This tutorial is only half complete.

There is no mention of burning dual-layer DVD's. 99% of all movie DVD's are on dual layer disc's which hold about 8 gig. If you burn to a single layer DVD blank it can only hold 4 gig. Very rarely will you fit a movie and all of its menu's and extra's onto a single layer disc without sacrificing something. Even if you strip off all the extra's and just copy the movie it still usually won't fit. What the copying program does is it "compresses" the movie. What that means is the program takes bits of video and sound out of the movie its thinks you won't miss to fit onto the single layer disc. So in reality its not a perfect copy. A little compression you won't notice..but the more you compress the more you'll notice. I burn my DVD's to dual-layer discs if they are to big for single layer. I have an NEC dual layer burner (about $50). The caveat is the dual-layer blanks are more expensive than single layer (about $1.50-$2.00 per blank). I use DVDdecrypter to burn dual-layer discs. Verbatim make the best DVD blanks.

This site has much info on burning DVD's:

http://club.cdfreaks.com/
 
Just go to ripit4me.org.

it is all free - no trials.

Once you have all the software downloaded and installed... copying a DVD is basically a 1 click operation people.

part way complete? sort of. when using clone dvd, you can pick whether you want to burn a vcd, dvd, or double layer dvd.
 
i use dvd fab platinum... i got it for free

heck if im gonna download movies for free then why the heck would i pay for a program to burn them to dvd???

i also have the anydvd and clone dvd as well for free but dvdfab works MUCH better. it takes the copyright off ANY dvd where as anydvd has trouble on some especially Sony dvd's.
 
that 1 click shit blows donkey dick. i dont want the fbi warnings and stupid trailers on my disc.

i have used dvdfab, dvd shrink, dvd studio, nero, ashampoo, and some misc other ones, and clonedvd is my favorite.
 
Heck I still use the old school dvddecryptor and dvdshrink without updates.

Many people get errors on newer movies but if you select the "rip as an iso image" in decryptor instead of copying all the vob files and such, it always works.

WTF you talking about? There is a button on ripit4me to bypass directly to the disc menu right on the front interface.

Simple.

Well..I'm guessing that if someone needs a tutorial on DVD copying they are probaly going to be unaware of the limitations of single layers discs and what compression will consist of.

I got one question..Why does it take so friggin long for a dvd to burn for me??
Pent. 4 HT cpu
new 18X lightscribe LG dvd burner(firmware updated)
1 gig Ram
every kind of dvd rip/burning software tried, and they all take about an hour or more to rip and burn a movie.

what software are you using?
 
yay ponk i did my first dvd burning
thanks
and i didnt use the first one i just used the clonedvd one and it works great
 
soklu,

clonedvd will work the majority of the time by itself. however, once you start burning copyrighted movies with serious protection (ie any disney movie), you will need AnyDVD to remove the protection.

I've tried them all.

1click
dvd fab(all versions)
clonedvd anydvd combo
shrink

all of them.

had 3 or 4 different burners all took about an hour or more.

oh ok thanks
also, i tried playing the dvd on both of my dvd players and it wouldnt play on one but it did play on the other
and dumb me has subtitles on it
dang
 
i used a dvd+r dl
and i could have gotten a whole lot more o them
how mch can i get on a regular dvd? it has 5 episodes per disk
 
ok, i suggest you use DVD-R's in the future. they will work on more machines.

secondly, are you burning grey's? i usually split the episodes on 2 DVD's, so my gf can have better quality.

ie, disc 1 has 6 episodes. i will burn 3 on one disc and three on another. however, if you do this, make sure you select the right episodes in order.

the menu will be on both, but it will only let you play the ones you put on there.

select each individual episode like you were selecting a movie. it's the same principle.

donate a chunk of karma my way.
 
ok, back it up a second.

are you copying movies or tv series dvd's?

movies, you just rip/burn the longest title. tv series i split up on multiple discs.

just make sure you are burning the right ones on the right disc. watch the preview thing on the left to make sure the one you are currently going to rip/burn is the right one in the order you want.

ie. a dvd disc with 6 episodes ->preview the titles ->figure out what the order is -> pick the first whatever number of them you want -> uncheck the ones you will burn on the second disc -> burn away.
 
THANKS! I have really been wanting to do this but couldn't figure it out.

yes but it takes butt load of space per movie. just burn it to a dvd-r and youll be fine. and not ALL dvd players are compatible. my sons dvd player wont play the copied dvds but mine does unless i use a certain program to burn them with for his dvd player. im just going to buy him the same one i have. only $30.

i wish there were a faster way to copy the whole thing but i have the same problem. try cutting out the subtitles and different sound versions. that helps. and maybe just copy the movie only and not the menu. that helps as well.
 
bigman, use the AnyDVD and CloneDVD combo to see if it fixes the problem on your son's existing dvd player.

if that doesn't, i suggest burning the disc at a slower speed. that will fix the problem 90% of the time (so long as you are using a DVD-R)

i used the slysoft for a while but it doesnt work with all dvd's. between me and my father in law we havent come across any dvds that wouldnt burn due to copyright or "bad segments" with dvdfab. but i still have the slysoft on my computer. i have ALL the slysoft products. i just hate waiting an hour with clone dvd just to have it say error bad segments. i have NO patience. but it is a great program for beginners i do agree cause it was the first one i used to burn dvd's.
 
that's really weird...i have never had ANY problems with slysoft, and i have backed up many, many dvd's. same goes for the countless other people i know who download their shit.

that's weird, though.

but yeah, try burning discs at a slower speed. they should work better on your son's dvd player.

nah, the bottom color of the media shouldn't make a difference. it has to be the speed you are burning at - it's simply too high for that particular dvd player.

like when i would burn cd's for my old car, i always had to burn them SUPER slow, otherwise the dinosaur of a cd-player i had would not read them. once burned at a slower speed, it was gravy.

I never liked the "CloneDVD" program, lots of pixalation(sp?) and costers even with burning it slowly.

Some people hate on "1clickdvdcopy" but I like it alot in combination with "anydvd".

I've been trying to fix my slow burn speed problem by making sure the dvd ide setting is set to DMA instead of PIO.

I tried the DVDFAB plat once but it was a little weird acting(I guess since it was a cracked program) I need to try it again.
 
I just use the program that came with my computer Power2Go. Seems pretty simple. Are these other programs any better?
 
I am using the internal dvdrw in my sony viao. I think it is like a 1x or 2x. I also had a stack of DVD+Rs. I backed up super troopers last night. Worked fine on my laptop's DVD player and my playstation 2. Thanks poink!

Like Dial tone said Nero works well but converting videos to a DVDs that you can watch on your tv is time consuming.

like 4 hours with a fast machine.

no, it doesnt take that long. I've done it before with my Athlon 64 and it didnt take that long.

I am running a Core 2 Duo, E6400 clocked at 3.4ghz, shit should fly.
 
sorry, but nero sucks.

yes, it works...but it shouldnt take damn near 700 megs to create a burning program.

if you guys want to use bloatware, that's on you.

hey, one thing that hasnt been discussed here is:

-different brands of dvd media.

-different colors, and whether or not those have anything to do with quality or storage life?


To start, I want to say that cheap dvds arent good to buy in general, but if you are going to get them, only buy them if you have a newer player, because old players have a hard time playing them. I got the 100 pack of Dynex dvds for $5 this year on Black Friday at Best Buy, and they suck!
So you get what you pay for, and you should always buy higher quality dvds whenever you can afford it :)

But I'm not sure which brands are considered the best brands. I'm researching this right now. Maybe p0ink or some other members have some more insight on this.

It would take that much longer to copy the menu and such, I've always cut out the unnessary stuff.

I figured out what my problem was, I had a DVD rom (for the ripping) and a DVD burner (for the burning), they were on the same IDE cable.

Well apparently the DVD rom was older or something because it wouldn't allow DMA mode, only PIO(which apparently is slow as shit).

I removed the dvd rom and just left the dvd burner set as the master and now it only takes me about 30 min to rip and burn a movie. which is still not the "rip and burn in 10-15 min" like most people.

The only drawback is that now I cant leave the machine to rip and burn for me, I have to be here to remove the movie and insert a blank disc.

ok, i havent heard anything on the color of the dvd (top or bottom) having anything to do with reliability. i think it is all just marketing and hype to have a dvd with a black bottom. i may be wrong, but i'm usually not.

holla.

as for brands of dvd's, i would use verbatim DVD-R
s for video and memorex dvd's for data. i have never had any problem with the two.

i have had issues with sony, value brand crap, and others. those two are golden.

why not drop like $40 and get an external USB drive if it means that much to you. personally, i dont think it is worth it, because i dont mind waiting the 12 minutes for a dvd to rip and then popping in a blank.

no sweat off of my back.
 
ok, the questions i am receiving from people is about whether or not to use double layered DVD-R's.

double layer discs will hold double the amount of data which a standard DVD-R/DVD+R will hold. (8.5 gigs versus 4.7 gigs).

what does this mean? this means you can make an exact copy of a dvd without having to take any of the content out, which you otherwise would with a standard DVD-R, so you could conserve space. it also means you dont have to compress any of your images.

it sounds great, right? well, that depends. a standard single-layer DVD will cost you 30 cents compared to $2.50 per disc. so what happens when your burn fucks up? you are going to spend atleast $5 on backing up that one DVD ($2.50 for the trashed disc, and $2.50 for the one that worked).

ok, so money isnt an issue with you? well, i have read plenty of people (who are much more involved in this 'scene' and are much more in 'the know' than i am) complaining about how their double-layer burns eventually crap out and go to shit because the double layer technology for homeburns and recordable dvd's arent exactly perfected yet.

me? personally, i like single layer burns. why? i have treated some of these discs like shit, and they still play. the same thing could not be said about all of my double layer burns.

it's up to you whatever you choose to do.

if you go with double-layer burns, post up, and let us all know how it turns out.
 
I really like your programs poink,

very easy to use.

I even was able to pirate them successfully :)

the problem was with a dll file that they put with nero 7, I downloaded some other versions of the dll and replaced them with the existing ones and burning music cd's from mp3s worked better.

With my dual core athlon computer (AMD 4200+, 2 gigs ram) I can fully copy and burn a DVD in under 20 minutes. Thats using the two programs poink suggested and a 8x DVD burner. It should drop significantly on my other computer.

I had that same problem with that same movie. You need the newest edition of AnyDVD.

Check pm's in a bit
 
yeah, AnyDVD is the shit, because they put out an update almost biweekly.

they are on top of dvd encryption like no other company. i have not found a single dvd it could not unscramble.

i have yet to use any program better than these two.

Burning Your DVD's

ok, once you have followed the simple installation instructions, it is time to burn your dvd.

1. insert the DVD you wish to backup into your dvd drive

2. wait a few seconds for AnyDVD to remove the copy protection

3. open CloneDVD

4. click "Clone DVD - clone a dvd including all titles and menus"

5. click the drop-down menu "DVD video files:"

6. pick the drive letter / Video_TS (ie D:\Video_TS)

7. this will then load all of the different titles available on your DVD

8. click on the titles that are now listed in the right hand box to preview them

9. un-check all of the ones you don't want to burn on your disc. the movie file is always going to be the one with the longest play time, so make sure you don't un-check that one.

10. pay attention to the bar on the bottom right of the screen. the more green you have it, means the less data which has to be compressed. this will result in better picture / audio quality

***NOTE - i have burned stuff at 60% (almost in the red), and there isnt much of a noticeable difference).

11. once you have all of the titles you wish to burn selected, click Next on the bottom right-hand corner.

12. under the box 'Stream Preferences' un-check any foreign languages, director's commentary, and subtitles that are listed. this will make for less compression needed.

13. under 'Stream Configuration' on the left-hand side, make sure only english audio is checked.

14. click 'Next'

15. on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, you will see a box titled "Temporary directory for video files". pick any directory to temporarily house the movies you will be ripping.' check the box right under this titled 'Delete temporary video files after writing.

16. click 'Go'

17. Your DVD will now be ripping. This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on how much data is being ripped and/or how fast your computer is.

18. once the DVD is done ripping, the cd-tray will open, and the program will prompt you to insert a blank dvd.
