ok, so i got a burner, got a copy of dvd x copy platinum, it didn't work with my pc because all 321 studio software will not work with roxio products. I tried removing the roxio software and it still didn't work. So i went with dvd decrpter, which allowed me to finally burn something to disc, of course after a firmware upgrade on my brand new lite on burner.

the only problem I am having is I do not know how to shrink the dvd to fit on the discs. I have been using nero to burn, can someone help me out on how to shrink an burn everything on a dvd? I have dvd shrink, haven't played with it much yet, but can I shrink something with dvd shrink, and then use either dvd decrpter or nero to burn it?

I've never used dvd shrink. But I do use CloneDVD and it works great. Very simple to use:

but buggy, does it allow to shrink and burn copyrighted material?, do you use the trial version?, or did u buy the whole version.

There is another program called AnyDVD which will allow you to copy copyrighted material or even DVD's in another region:

I did not use the trial version. I did not buy the whole version either

ok thanks alot buggy, I downloaded the trial version, I ripped it using dvd decryter, then I put it in clone dvd to check it out, it started off well, we will see what comes out, regarding anydvd, what kinda program is it?, all in one?
