| How
to Copy DVD to CD-R
In this section you're
going to learn how to copy a DVD to one or more CD-R Discs.
To do this you must have a DVD-Rom (the ability to play DVD's
on your computer) and a CD Burner (the ability to burn CDs).
If you have a DVD burner, you would be better off copying
DVD to DVD by following the instructions in that section.
The
resulting CD-R is called a VCD or Video CD. VCD is the common
name for this so I will use it from now on.
Software Needed:
DVD
Decrypter - Click Here to Download and Install
Easy
VCD - Click Here to Download and Install
Ripping the
DVD to VCD Format
First,
insert the DVD you want to Rip/Copy. Your computer may try
to play the DVD, ask if you want to install DVD Player Software,
or possibly something else. Whatever it does just exit or
push cancel.
Next
run Easy VCD and you should see something like this:
Under
"Program Chain" select the one with the same length
as the movie you are ripping. You can see above I have selected
VTS(01) which is 1 hour and 37 minutes long.
Now
click the little ".." button next to output folder
and select a folder to put the files in. I suggest you just
make a temporary folder for this because you should delete
all the files when you're done making your VCD. You can see
I chose a folder called "temp" on my C drive. You
could use any folder, but it's better to use a folder just
for this so you can go back and delete the files. That way
you won't waste space on your Hard Drive.
If
you want, you can change "Encoding Quality" to a
higher or lower quality. Higher quality takes longer than
lower quality. It's up to you which to choose. However, I
would suggest you choose High Quality.
Make
sure "File Split" is set to the type of CD your
are using and set "Output Type" to Make Bin/Cue
Image.
Optionally,
you could just set it up like I have in the picture above,
but make sure you select the right Disc Type under File Split
and the correct length under Program Chain.
Now
click RIP IT and you will probably see this:
Don't
worry about that, just click OK. Now you will see it doing
a lot of different things (running several different programs).
This is normal, just wait until it is done. You may have to
click OK at one point but that's it.
Burning the
VCD
Now
that we have the DVD in VCD format we can burn it to CD-R
Discs. First insert a blank CD-R Disc, then run DVD Decrypter
and you should see something like this:
You
might see something a little different, so make sure you click
Mode, ISO, then Write like I did above. Now it should look
like this:
Now
click the little folder circled in the above picture and find
where you saved the files in the previous sections. There
should be two files that show up (possibly more or less) and
end with ".bin". I saved mine to a folder called
"Temp" as you can see here:
We
will need to do this process for each of the ".bin"
files in that folder (they are labeled Disc 1, Disc 2, etc).
So when you are done, burning the first disc. Put in another
blank disc, and do the next file. Repeat this until you have
burned all the ".bin" files.
All
that's left to do now is click the "Write" button
circled in the above picture. When you do that you will see
this:
Just
wait until it is done then repeat the process for each ".bin"
file. Make sure you label the discs as part 1, part 2, and
so on. That's it, you new VCD's will play on virtually any
DVD Player.
