I am very serious about keeping all of my DVD's in pristine condition. (after all we're in the digital age, why can't I have them forever?)
I recently learned about this site and have started backing up all of my DVD's to a DivX file (for the media center) and to a DVD for use in the DVD player. I DO NOT SHARE or even let friends borrow my copies, I simply use them in LIEU of the originals in the hopes that I will be able to keep them forever.
THE QUESTION:
I often come across a DVD that will not be copied no matter what program I use. (DVD Decrypter DVDFab or even the new ImgBURN) Everyone has told me that a DVD is a DVD is a DVD simply because the standard requires that all new DVD's be compatible with older DVD Players and whatnot. So all DVD's are pretty much the same, why can't I copy all of them?
What I've done:
I've goofed around with settings, changing stuff like "ignore read errors" etc.
I've tried cleaning the cd's (even though most are new)
I've tried getting a new DVD Writer
I've tried SEARCHING THIS FORUM FOR DAYS LOL
I'm thinking there is a trick out there, or a technology that I'm just not aware of because some of the movies I CAN'T copy are out there and other have.... Can anyone help me?
