burning movies to cd rom

[Wiggo]

Sorry Mr. C but this one's a grey area job as laws vary here from country to country (even state to state in some cases). Here it's prefectly legal to *cough* backup certain things ya own such as videos and PS games for examples so long as ya own a legal copy of it. The same goes for "Mod chips". ;)

If ya don't then we :devil win

But it is a frustratin' legal nightmare though tryin' to keep up with it all. :cry:

Just be sure of the laws as they regard to your lacation before doin' such things and if ya do be sure that ya can pull the legal copy out in a hurry. ;)

Well if I'm not stepping on any toes by passing on this info you might want to check out a trial version of a program called Alcohol 120% at http://www.alcohol-software.com/ . Not sure how you would copy a downloaded program but it does give you the ability to backup almost any game disk reguardless of the "protection" program. From the encryption options it looks like it is possible to copy PS and PS2 disks as easily as PC games. It works by creating an image on your hard drive from the original disk then copying it to disk. You can also create a "virtual drive" on your computer and run PC games directly from there without using a nocd crack. Amazing program that leaves CloneCD in the dust!

I'll look into that one a bit later but CloneCD does my stuff that Nero can't handle and it only takes < 5mins on the fly from the LiteOn DVD straight to the burner. ;)

This is a great little program. I used to be a big CloneCD fan, and I used Fantom CD (virtual CD prog) a lot.. but this combines the best of both worlds, and does it so much better. It seriously leaves Clone for dust.

Just reread my last post ... kinda sounds like an advertisement. I just got the program this week and tested it for the first time tonight on a couple of programs. I may have been too enthusiastic but it did impress me. Was taking me about 40 minutes or so to copy 650 MB of safedisk2 protected data but I was doing a full preburn test and writting at 4x to my burner. It does give the option to write on the fly but I've made too many coasters in the past that way with other programs so I figured I'd play it safe tonight.

By the way Wiggo, I just see that you too have a LiteOn DVD ... just installed mine last week to replace another Compaq POS part.

[Wiggo]

Yeah with a LiteOn CDRW and DVD on the same channel I'm findin' that stuff I couldn't burn this way on the fly before is a breeze with this combo and I'll give that proggy a go when things settle down a bit. ;)
