Hello to everybody on this forum, I'm hoping for some advice regarding getting my daughters favourite DVDs onto a philips HDD/DVD recorder.
Whenever I use DvdShrink to take a copy of a DVD I thought that copyright protection was removed ...... but I cant record the copied DVD onto the HDD drive via an external dvd player as it complains that it's copyrighted and protected.
However I downloaded Shrek as an DivX (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/divx_play.cfm) AVI (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/avi.cfm) file and have used winavi video converter to convert this DivX (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/divx_play.cfm) movie to DVD format & burnt the files to a DVD using Nero (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_applications/nero.cfm).
This will actually record to the HDD player with no problems at all and acheives what I'm after - just need to be able to manipulate my daughters DVDs to allow the copying to HDD to work.
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here but I thought/hoped I'd be able to copy real DVDs such as Bob The Builder (no laughing please) to another DVD using dvdshrink then to AVI (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/avi.cfm) using winavi and back to DVD format on the newly created AVI (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/avi.cfm) file to then allow copying to the HDD drive.
Is there something I need to do using DivX (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/divx_play.cfm) converter to allow the DVD films to be copied to HDD like the downloaded DivX (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/divx_play.cfm) AVI (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/avi.cfm) files were able to be ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Roland
