You mean backup 1 dual layer dvd to 1 single layer dvd? But it must be compressed or something... |

actually to be honest i dont know how it does it's compressing but i've been able to copy all the dvds in my collection that i have tried. Some of them are long with extra features and it all copies fine and plays great. so 2 layer dvds can be copied to a one layer. |

2 layer dvd to 1 layer dvd? It doesnt make any sense, because 2 layer has up to 8,5 GB and 1 layered only 4,7... What program did u use to copying your dvds? |

heh weird huh. i use DVD X Copy, it is a program that got pulled from the market a few months back. Suppostedly people were buying this program to copy movies from rental places and just about everywhere else. i bought mine well before i knew it could do that. i havent tried copying rental dvds though so i couldn't tell you if it works or not. (i dont rent)
i believe that program broke the dmca regulations signed by clinton. |

I haven't logged in for 2 years, but I did just for you.
I just bought a dual layer burner and have recently figured everything out.
One resource on the web has all of the information you need (step by step instructions).
Check out http://www.doom9.org and look under "Guides."
If you have ?s after reading it, let me know.
BTW, I do rental DVDs (8.5GB) to DVD-R (4.38GB) but stripping the extras, promos, previews and I don't lose video quality because I don't compress.
Try DVD Shrink (to see how large the extra audio files are), DVD Stripper (remove extra menus/previews/FBI warnings), DVD Decrypter (rip inside of DVD stripper), DVD Shrink again (remove extra audio from DVD Stripper output), and Nero 6 (burns nicely). That's what work the best for me (in that order).
Good luck. |

The program you're searching for is called dvd shrink, get it at www.afterdawn.com It can easily compress from dvd 9 to dvd5 (dual layer to single layer) Just cut of extra features other languages that you don't need etc. Then you'll end up with good quality :)
If dvd shrink has any errors when ripping, you could try out dvd decrypter to rip in to your computer (full dvd) adn from there use dvd shrink to compress it...
I think both of the programs removes macro-vision and the dvd will have "no region/all regions"
