RE: backup a dvd movie using your cd writer????

The software enables you to 'Rip' the Mpeg file from the DVD to your hard drive and then you can copy to your CDRW - however there are many weaknesses.
The original encoding quality is lost,you can only write in VCD or DviX formats plus if you have a dual layer disc then you may need 10 CDRW to back up the movie.And additionally depending up on your CDRW writing speed you are in for a lot of work.


If you type http://www.burnworld.com/ you will find a lot of additional information. Also if you type ripping DVD on a search engine you will find many sites with additional information.
