Yes,
in fact there are four ways to copy a DVD to a DVDħR/RW
disc with Copy DVD
Pro - DVD. The first three will preserve the exact same audio
and video quality of the original DVD.
Direct
Copy: Copy the movie directly if it's less than
4.3 GB.
Remove Extras:
Removes
excess data like trailers and other languages. Split
in two: Split
the movie in half and save each half on one DVD. Compress: Re-encode
the video to reduce the size.
If
I decide to compress the video, will it look
as good as the original DVD?
Yes,
you won't even notice the difference. Most movies on DVD now come in
the widescreen format. This format uses only 75% of the
resolution available to a full screen movie. You can take
advantage of this extra space on the DVD to retain the quality of
the original video when you encode. If you have an epic film
that's 3 hours or more, we suggest you split the DVD.
The
time it takes depends on a few factors: The speed of your DVD
writer, the speed of your computer's processor, and the method you
choose to copy the DVD. The simplest method - "Direct
Copy" will usually take less than an hour if you have a P4 2Ghz
computer and a 4X burner.
What are the minimum system requirements to copy a
DVD to DVD?
You must have a computer running Microsoft Windows
2000 or XP
with at least 10 Gigabytes of hard disk space free, and NTFS file
system (not Win32) and a DVD burner that is
compatible with
DVDħR/RW media.
