rw quality

this is from my recent thread which was closed :

'Say, for example, i go out and buy a dvd, when i get it home someone else in my family says they want it but cant be bothered to buy it.

Now if i was to copy it onto another disk for them, would the quality be the same as the original dvd or would it be worse?'

And this was a reply from Halo:
'Even if this is a hypothetical situation, it borders on copyright issues and I'm afraid Majorgeeks do not allow topics of this nature... Sorry topic closed '

Im sory but i didnt know i couldnt post things like this on here so please dont close this one.

Now heres what i want to know:

1. So can i only burn films and such that i have downloaded?

 

yes, i wont be using the copy for financial gain.

However what would the quality be like, if it was perfect on screen, how would it look on disc?

 

i think ill be using nero, does that help?

 

I'm not sure that i can get into this with you, so i'm just going to explain a couple of things and be gone. First of all, dvds are larger than what will fit on a standard blank dvd so you need to Shrink them. But a lot of DVDs have encryption on them and will not allow you to copy them straight over, so you need a Decrypter. Once you have shrunk the dvd you can choose to back it up to your hdd and it's stored as an .iso file. From there you can open nero > burn image to disk > select the .iso you created > and burn the dvd. That's it. Simple right? Make sure that when you use your shrinking software that you check the quality and it's set on highest. It shouldn't make any difference cause it'll be just as good as the movie anyway. Hope this helps and you can figure it out.

Also i don't think this is piracy cause he is just making a legal backup archived copy of the dvd that he has purchased. Just don't forget to tell people that otherwise they think you're pirating stuff!

 

ok thanks i think i get that, are the decrypter and shrinking software free?

 

ok then sorry

 

ok thanks, sorry
