Dvd ripping
« on: April 04, 2004, 22:44 »
I've got a time computer, and it came with a really dull generic dvd-rw,it's not branded or anything and i can't find any information out about it on the net.

It's called ATTAPI DVD DUAL 4xMax, or something like that.


If i get some dvd copying software,do you think i'd be able to back up most dvd's? or would i need a better burner?


Also could anybody recomend any free burning software and good dvd-r disks?

thanks.

We've said many times that we can't discuss illegal DVD copying (or backing up, whatever you call it) on here, as it is against the forum regulations, and our hosts rules.  Sorry, Jaminxz.  :(

The only thing I will say is that if your drive works for general DVD Writing, it should work for any purpose.  The blank media you use can make a difference.  My Sony DVD+-RW doesn't like certain cheaper brands, but others are fine.

For a good range of blank media, try CDR Media.co.uk.  Zero Defex have been good for me.
Many thanks to all our members, who have made PC Pals such an outstanding success!   :thumb:

One thing I'll mention is that the drive is an ACER model and probably a rebadged Sanyo/Optowrite drive.

Useful utility to find out what a drive really is (among other things):

Good discussion on firmware/media issues etc. can be found over on:

hey promised the earth! Then delivered mud.
Technically it did meet the spec.
