: 1) Are you trying to back it up to a DVD-R or make a copy to watch on your
: computer? If you want to back up your DVD to a burnable disc, I use Mac
: the Ripper in OS X to extract the video TS folder. Then compress use
: whatever to make a DVD image from the Video_TS folder. I like DVD Imager

Cool! Thanks fro the head's up! I'm trying to make a duplicate copy of my DVD which has CSS on it and I tried originally (and quite ignorantly mind you) just tossing it into Toast Platinum and copying it but the CSS prevented that so I looked it up online and found handbrake. It's really wierd because the 1st ad on the DVD (my test chpater) came out fine (although lower quality video which I later fixed by playing with the compression levels) and the audio worked but when I converted the bulk of the film, it came out with no audio because QT said I was missing software needed for it. I already have Mac the Ripper and just hadn't played with it much but I'll DEFINITELY be giving that a shot. Thanks for the recommendation! Also thanks for the link to DVD imager. That will help a ton!

: . Then burn the image with DIsk Utility. You can throw in an extra step
: where you compress and/or extract certain parts of the Video_TS folder to
: get it to fit on a single layer DVD-R.

I don't think I have to worry too much about it as I'm just trying to back up the film itself, not all of the crappy extras and rediculously long "previews" on the disc or whatnot. Hey, quick head's up for anyone who hasn't checked out the "Over the Hedge" DVD yet: There is a "Preview" for Shrek 3 on it (I really dig the series) however all it is, is a summary of the first two films that takes about 6 minutes of your life away as they try to sell you on the original films you've already seen so don't waste your time! ;)

I have a copy of Roxio Popcorn
: ($50) for this and it takes care of the imaging/burning too. But it's not
: free.

Well, it sure can be. ;) But only for testing mind you. I think I'll try a copy out and if I like it's functionality I'll then go into a store and buy it. In this day & age, I never buy without trying first, ESPECIALLY when it comes to unknown software. :)

: On a PC

Not even thinking about that. I'm just about to convert my XPSP2 box over to Vista RTM because in the final days after I left MS, they really nailed down what I personally saw as the biggest drawbacks to my upgrading. They really still have a poorly designed and implemented product, but it's better in terms of UI and "feel" than any previous version. Ya know, I use the PC for so VERY little these days that if I can make it "feel" better when I use it? That's all I really care about at this point. Plus, I get to have all sorts of fun figuring out which internal & office apps are still incompatible. lol

: 2) Why AVI? Why not MPEG, especially H.264?

From my personal experience it always has felt like Toast takes longer to decompress QT than AVI for burning onto video DVD and with all of the stuff I'm working on right now I was hoping for the quickest method possible is all.

: 3) For AVI playback, have you tried VLC ? It's available for just about any
: OS and it plays a lot of funky shit QT doesn't.

Huh... Hadn't tried that! Thanks for yet another head's up/recommendation!
