Thanks for all the replies. I download a copy of DVD
Decrypter from
www.flexion.org. It works great to get a
copy of
the DVD on your hard drive. Trouble is, the files are all 6-8 gig.
So
they can't be put back on a
normal CD. Nice try anyway. Guess
I'll just buy an extra copy next time.

The specs I gave are just that.
Specifications from the DVD MPEG group.
Most DVDs pressed today are
dual-layered (due to all the extra content and
features). You can
usually see the layer switch, unless you have a second
or third generation
DVD player (they have large buffers for this). I can
always tell
where it is becuase my receiver drops the audio for a second and
then
re-acquires.
As for DVD-18 (18gb dual layered dual sided) discs, these
are dual-layerd
flipper discs. They are usually the ones with
STANDARD pan and scan on one
side and WIDESCREEN on the other,and multiple
features on both. Some will
even put Dolby digital on one side and
DTS on the other. A good example of
a DVD-18 disc is the early
release copies of T2:Terminator 2. This disc
has a ton of extra
content, in addition to the extended movie, and was
originally put on one
disc (two sides dual layered). They used every inch
of space for that
one. However, the demand for sales was way beyond
their
expectations. And since, at the time, there was only 1 or two
plants
capable of pressing dual-layered dual-sided discs, they couldn't
meet
demand. So they shifted to a 2-disc set. That's what
you'll find today.
There is a judegment call to be made on cost of 2 discs,
packaging and
weight versus 1 flipper disc with not as many
copies.
I haven't seen too many dual-sided dual-layered (DVD-18) discs
out lately so
I don't know where the trend is headed. I do see alot
of flipper discs
(standard / widescreen) but they are usually
single-layered. I think they
try to keep the discs as simple as
possible (single-layered) when they can
so all players can read them
ok. There are quite a few (Abyss, Matrix among
others) which can be
troublsome in the earlier players (seamless branching
and index
features).
I could go on an on (I used to work for a company which did
DVD), but this
is an Oracle forum, right? By the way, we used
Informix for our database
needs. Hey, at least they beat our
Sybase...

What dvd's are you using? They are generally 4.7Gb
per side, and 9.4Gb if
they are duel layered.

It
would take approximately 6-10 CD-R to handle the average DVD in
full
quality. Although in poor quality they are generally only 1.2Gb from
what I
have seen.
DVD can hold 5.7Gb-9Gb.

Or you can convert them to VCD format and burn them to a
regular CD-R,
although it will probably span more that one
CD-R.

No body would show up at your door. People copy
DVD's and
videos(especially) and mostly get away with
it:)

You may be able to copy them but all the copyright or
copyleft guys will be
at your doorstep by tomorrow. I have heard about and
seen a 4 line perl
implementation that decodes the VOBs to hard disk, but
then you need large
disk space as well.
A DVD RAM drive would help
though
