Hi, I just installed an internal dvd burner. Before that I bought the DVDenergy program, supposed to copy a dvd to a cd rom disk, or a DVD disk. It copies a small portion of the dvd to a cd rom disk, but no more than that. However, the first section of the program does a complete job of copying the entire DVD movie to the hard drive, and it is playable on the PC by just clicking on the file. This is great, but I still do not know how to burn the DVD to a disk, DVD, or CD! That's why I installed a DVD burner. When I try to directly copy a movie disk, from my DVD player to my DVD burner, or from the movie in my hard drive to the DVD burner, using Nero, or Alcohol 120%, I get a error that there is not enough room on the blank DVD disk. The blank has about 4.7 gb of space. My movie says it has 3.88 gb. I still get the same error that there is not enough space on the blank disk. I feel like I must be doing something wrong. I have heard that in order to copy a DVD disk to a blank DVD disk the movie must be either divided into two parts, or compressed. Can someone who has been successful in copying DVDs to a disk advise me on this? I am getting very frustrated with it. There probably is software that will do the job. Eagerly waiting for some help.

Buy DVD 1 Click ..it compresses the DVD onto 1 DVD when necessary ..excellent software!

before you spend any more money on progrmas try DVDShrink. It's fee and will probably do a better job then most the ones you pay for. http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html You may have other issues though, if your movie is truely only 3.88 gigs and your programs say it's too big, you may have to do some more troubleshooting. " have heard that in order to copy a DVD disk to a blank DVD disk the movie must be either divided into two parts, or compressed". Movies will be split up into 1 gig vob files and yes, they will be compressed with the MPEG2 format.
