Copy DVD on HD to blank DVD

[gary ellis]

I have DVD X-Copy, HP Write Now and ROXIE DVD copy programs.

I copied a DVD to my HD using Shrink and cannot figure out how to use one of the above copy programs to copy the movie from the HD to a blank DVD.

Doom 9 instructions and help programs do not cover this procedure.

How do you copy a DVD movie on your HD via Shrink to a blank DVD?

you can rip with dvdshrink or dvd-decrypter (both are freeware) to your hdd, but dvdshrink can't burn but, can automate "dvd-decrypter, nero & some other burn progs".
roxio & dvd xcopy ?? i would never use.
try dvddecrypter :

I understand that shrink cannot burn. Do not understand why you would not use ROXIE or DVD X-Copy.

Are you saying that I need Nero when I have three burn programs? Would not Nero be a redundant program?

Can you tell me how to use the programs I have? Normally DVD X-Copy decodes and copies all in one. But it will not copy a a DVD that it has copied which is why I tried Shrink.

I guess the basic question is forget about shrink. How do you copy (burn) any movie/video from the HD to a blank DVD and will ROXIE or DVD X-Copy do it? How?

I would strongly recommend staying away from DVD X-Copy as the program has now been discontinued. I would follow the advice of "Experi-Mentor" regarding DVD Decrypter. Visit the following thread for information about using Decrypter in conjunction with DVD Shrink:

Defiently use DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink, and thats ALL you need! They are both free and I have used DVD X Copy Platinum and I think it HORRIBLE when compared to those two free programs. Use Decrypter to burn the dvd to your hard drive, then use Shrink and set it to full disc or you can select what you want (main movie, extras, audio, deleted scenes), then use Decrypter to burn it, 3 Steps and its easy after 1 or 2 times

Does the Roxio burning software have a specific "DVD-Video" mode? if so, if it depicts a pre-established folder named "VIDEO_TS", simply copy ALL pertinent DVD files (.IFOs, .BUPs, .VOBs) into that folder and then burn. If the program doesn't depict a pre-established folder named "VIDEO_TS", first create a "VIDEO_TS" (MUST be ALL capial letters) folder on your harddrive and move all pertinent DVD files into it. Then copy the folder and its contents in the Roxio program - and burn...

I had big problems burning the VIDEO_TS folder with ROXIO...Sweet Cynthia got me going on DVDDecrypter and it is perfect....you can still leave Roxio on the computer and use it for other stuff if you want, decrypter doesn't seem to interfere with that. I had what apppeared to be two identical backups, one burned with Decrypter and one with Roxio, both shrunk with Shrink and yet the Roxio would not play in many slightly older DVD players, the Decrypter one played everywhere.
