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 AVI file and have used winavi video converter to convert this DivX movie to DVD format & burnt the files to a DVD using Nero.
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 using winavi and back to DVD format on the newly created AVI file to then allow copying to the HDD drive.
Is there something I need to do using DivX converter to allow the DVD films to be copied to HDD like the downloaded DivX AVI files were able to be ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Roland
