I a good timeshare like arrangement at a cabin along the lake now, and would rather just burn a copy of my movie collection rather than take them back and forth (about an hour and a half away).
I bought an external DVD burner that uses the PC, but I need software to help me past the copyright protection. Anyone have some suggestions?

you didn't hear this from me
DVD region free
will by pass anymovie, and allow your burning program to do its stuff
But just to let you know, copying movies is illegal! While games you
are allowed to make a backup!
Or so I am led to believe!

Ahh you think you have me ...!
I fought the law, and the law wo....
oh hey wait ....!
Actually the program was intended so that you could play any
DVD region on your PC. So that you could watch regions 1-8
without having to change your computers region.
Hence the name Region free! But the off shoot of it, is that it
also bypasses the copy protection!
but again you didn't hear that from me!
And quoting me is still not proof! I'll deny it until the
end!

I hear that AnyDVD in conjunction with DVDShrink and Nero works wonders. But that's just what I heard.

DVDFab Decrypter I hear is a good one. You can't do anything super great with it unless you register it though. Basically you can rip a DVD and remove protection in the process. Then run it through DVD Shrink and you should be good.
Also try using RipIt4Me with DVD Decrypter installed (not DVDFab). |

DVDShrink usually works fine for me. Sometimes it can't decode disney dvds though. |

I'd like to ask if Ray has considered a slim PSP w/ component cables and a few memory cards.
I'd also like to ask in general if it is technically illegal to convert the vob to avi/mpeg-2/4 and use them on the device of your choice as long as you continue to own the disk.

I thought it was legal to make a backup of DVD movies if you owned the orignal.
Can you actually burn dvds with dvdshrink?
I have some crappy dvd burning program (NTI) that I can't get to burn dvdshrinked stuff.
Any good freeware burning programs? |

My understanding is that this would be acceptable. There are some that argue that even the archival backup is illegal for most uses period. I think that over-does it and ignores the intent of the law.
In other words, some would tell you that it is certainly illegal and would also do so even if the conversion was not involved.
But, personally, I think it qualifies and is within your legal rights.

I believe this to be incorrect -- but interpretations of the law vary.

Sheesh...I dont' go that route because I want movies on the TV and I have a portable DVD player...
And honestly, I don't care about any legality of the issue. I supported the art by buying probably most of my DVD's brand new in the stores....so I while I could even put them all in a binder and travel with it...I don't want to. I won't be there buy one time in the winter and I slowly burn a few movies and take them to the cabin. Home movies stay at home and cabin movies stay at the cabin.
Also I know no one was challenging it...I just wanted to state that for the record

Correct, of course. Actually, if you give the ORIGINAL to someone else, you can give the copy to them too. But you can't keep either and give the other to someone else.

Doesn't the DMCA make this illegal? Since you have to break CSS to copy the DVD. |

AnyDVD HD & CloneDVD2 work well together. I setup my uncle with one of those hard disk players and ripped his dvd collection into the drive so he could watch them like a tivo without needing to flip discs. Its great for season sets.
I think the legality is a gray area so there's no absolute set in stone rules. Some new dvd's I've seen come with an iPod version on the same disc.
