Just need to copy DVD... a bunch of them...
-
I know there's command line stuff for linux, would that work (I can't recall the name, DVDcss or something like that - I'm sure googling will turn it up)? If it's a requirement that it work on windows, then I don't know, maybe some of the linux versions have equivalent windows ports that work under cygwin?

I can run it in VMWare. Hadn't thought of that. But Fatora (Fedora with all the bloatware installed.) might work. :-D

I'm working for a physical therapy clinic and we have shot tons of DVDs that we now want to copy (300+) I have one licensed copy of Nero and that's it. Is there some free/open source software that will just copy non-copy-protected DVD's? I cannot afford more Nero licenses but I have 4 computers that can burn DVD's. Suggestions?
Use http://www.imgburn.com/[^] You can create a .iso file from a physical disc, and then simply burn that .iso file to other DVD media (saves havng two DVD drives in one machine). It's free, so no licensing to worry about.

See if there's a cygwin port, you'll get better performance and less hassle than having to fiddle with a VM instance (I think, I'm guessing a bit here).

Well Windows didn't use to do that or maybe I'm just a dork. Let me check. :-O
Windows has burned DVDs since XP. The question is, does it create DVDs that will play in a DVD player ?

ImgBurn or InfraRecorder is what I use. InfraRecorder is very simple but works like a charm. It will work for a straight DVD to DVD copy just fine. ImgBurn is more complex but gives you many more options. Both are free as in free beer and work on Windows XP, Vista, 7 (32 and 64-bit). For your purposes I'd go with InfraRecorder. Neither of them require .net.

Not is hasn't. It burned CD's, Vista introduced the advanced concept of DVD burning.

Yeah, there's a cygwin port of all sorts of DVD ripping and burning software. Marc

I think XP and DVD's depended on what your computer set-up was, if you even had a DVD reader, etc. I still have XP on a laptop and I can copy DVD's to my hard-drive. Maybe some additional drives need to be downloaded or something like that?

Seconded (look at Copy Disc -> to HDD, it's not immediately obvious how to create an ISO for easy repeat burning). As an alternative, DVDDecrypter is perfect for ripping any DVD protected or not followed by ImgBurn. Either way you will want to create an image to speed up the process if you're making many copies of the same disc.

I may be wrong, but I think XP can burn DVD movies via Movie Maker. However, you cannot burn data DVD's by default with XP.

Have you considered outsourcing the job? There is specialized equipment for auto-loading the DVDs but it's far more expensive than buying more Nero licenses. But some companies specialize in making inexpensive bulk copies, and depending on how many you need of each of your 300+ DVDs, it might be cost effective to farm it out to someone who has invested in the right equipment. Even with freeware, it's still going to take man-hours to load, setup, run, and unload the copies.

It's free, so no licensing to worry about. Let me second that. Exactly the advice I'd give. Converting it to an ISO means the disc only has to be read once and can then be written n times without re-reading it. Imgburn is great for this stuff. Mike
