Hi All, |

I want to copy a movie from a DVD which I bought in a shop, to another DVD to |
| 4 |
take with me on holiday. I'll be playing back the copy on my laptop and (if |
| 5 |
it is feasible) the hotel's DVD player. |

I thought that K3B and a double layer blank DVD+R is all I need to burn an iso |
| 8 |
image of the DVD. After two expensive coasters (see other recent topic) I |
| 9 |
came to the conclusion that the combination of |
| 10 |
K3B/Phillips-DVD8421/Imation-DVD+R DL will just not work. I could start |
| 11 |
trying out different brands of DVD+R DL, but I cannot see a sustainable |
| 12 |
economic case for persevering with my coaster production. :-( |

So, I am now looking at alternative solutions to be able to enjoy my movies |
| 15 |
when on hols. I mounted the DVD and can see a number of *.vob files only |
| 16 |
some of which are the main film. Saving these would be enough, if only they |
| 17 |
could fit in a single layer DVD. Each of these *.vob files are approx.: |

There are 6 of them in a video which I want to copy, but given the recent |
| 22 |
failed attempts with burning DVD+R DLs I will have to compact them so that |
| 23 |
they can fit in a single DVD. I read about transcoding into mpeg4, but I |
| 24 |
don't know what are the right options for what I want. What would you |
| 25 |
recommend? |
