Well, I just made a Copy of Band of Brothers. It is good. Yet, I can only play in the DVD burner. It doesnt play on any regular PC DVD players. Is there a way to make the DVD backup play on any DVD players?

Thanks for for the tips

It's not that I'm copying DVDs.......... but X-copy isn't really good.

There are many ways to "back-up" your DVDs and it's a question what your demands are.

The best way to do it is to rip them to your HD then process and burn. There are many programs for this and the list gets bigger each week.

If you want top quality and don't give a damn about time or HD space i would recommend a software called Cinema Craft Encoder. A full guide with software can be found here: http://users.pandora.be/DVD2DVD-R/UK-DVD2DVD-R.htm

If you want to do a fast copy and don't want to read a lot of stuff I'd recommend programs like DVD2one or InstantCopy. To rip the movies to the HD use DVD Decrypter. To burn use Nero and maybe ImgTool with that.

http://www.doom9.org/ is a good site to get info and software if you want to read more.

There are two formats for DVD's. -R and +R. DvD players and burners havn't decided what they wanted to use yet. So its just you have to play it by year~

I bought a DVD-R for the purpose of backing up my PS2 games (I keep having games mysteriously disappear), but "B's Recorder Gold" craps out at 98% when I try and make an ISO...

Anyone sucessfully copy a PS2 game yet? Yes, I have a modchip in my PS2 already...but it does no good because I can't get an ISO made let alone burn it to the blank CD so I can insert it in the PS2.
