What is the best program to use to copy a movie dvd to a double layer disk?

I'm guessing you're talking about the "video_tl" folder DL. I would use Clone DVD

I want to do a DVD-9 to DVD-9 copy of a movie with all the audio and video in tact.

dvd fab

Doesn't Nero do direct disc-to-disc copies?

not sure if its the best

but it works 100% of the time for me,

dvddecrypter to rip
dvdfab to burn

and what if you don't have 10 GB of hard disk space to spare?

Dvdshrink is the best program i've found for backing up dvds to single or dual layer disks. It'll even compress a dual layer dvd movie onto a single layer dvd (or just make the full backup.)

dvdfab can rip and burn. theres no reason to use two programs.

problem with dvd shrink is it hasn't been updated in forever so it can't decrypt alot of hte new movies out there. thats why u need something thats updated often...like dvdfab (or dvd decrypter, but i don't know if decrypter actually burns discs.)

^yeah. dvd shrink was last updated July 25th, 2004. Dvd decrypter was updated March 21st 2005 and Dvdfab(freeware version) was last updated July 11, 2003. Now you can pay for a 2007 version but it's like 40-50$. So either dvd shrink or dvd decrypter, unless i missed a newer freeware version of Dvdfab.

oh i dont know about the free versions...i use the dvdfab that you pay for, and its constantly updated.

Contact Skack and buy a 250GB SATA disk for the low low price of $65. Two available. ::shameless plug::

I like Magic DVD Ripper. 4gig+ dvd converted down to 700-800mb, then just store it on my external hard drive. Not much quality loss either.

^^ right, because there were a bunch on the clearance rack at wal-mart in wilmington for $45
