I'm in need of a simple FREE Dvd burning program?

Hey All,

Jsut looking for a free program that will help me rip DVDs and make news ones with files i have.

I'm looking for the most simple one, one that isn't too confusing...not too good at this stuff!

I looked at the free software list but i didn't really catch anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

~hf

a caveat with dvd shrink is that you need nero to burn the files. either way with dvdshrink, you are still going to need a burning prog, so you may as well get nero to take advantage of its ability to do everything all in one program

Ok, to clarify, I need a program that will allow me to burn the DVDs as well.

As in, make back up copies of my movies. Is that even possible?

This isn't free, but it's about as cheap as you can get for Nero DVD burning.

Well I don't know if this works but I found the easiest way to burn files is just to right click and then send to the burner drive. Then a bubble comes up saying I have files waiting to be burned to a cd. This usually works for me but unless you're trying to play movies on a tv or dvd player, You probably have to use DVDshrink and Nero.

Burn4free. I got this from the free software list. I haven't tried it, but its free. It may have adware/spyware included, not sure, so use caution when installing.

DVD Decrypter will do that. And if you wanna backup movies, you can set up DVD Shrink to automatically use DVD Decrypter for burning.
And you'll get better results than with Nero.

Problem solved!

If anyone wants to know, you need DVD shrink and DVD dcrypter, just as Reboot said.

I don't know why i second guessed him!
