Hi guys, Ok i just bought a brand new NEC DVD RW +/- yesturday and i installed it and can watch movies perfectly with some MPEG-2 codec and Windows media player But i can't backup my DVD's because Nero 5.5.1.4 is not recognizing my DVD-RW but windows is and it also recognizes my cd-rw So is there a free program i can get that is almost, if not as good as Nero's burning rom? Also i hear that i need a decrypter but all the programs are not for download anymore Anyone? Need for info, just ask Please help Thx in advance!!!

You can get a dvd decoder here. http://www.dvd43.com/ Keep Smiling It makes them think you're up to something...

You can use a program called DVD Shrink to copy dvd's. Do a google search or look here http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm Keep Smiling It makes them think you're up to something...

Nero should work. Have you tried looking for updates?

How do i look for updates Thx in advance!!! Darin Luckie AMD Athlon 900 256MB DDR 400 20GB hdd Windows xp professional
