From the website article about it getting Tucows 5 cow rating...

 

there is an ongoing case against dvd copying that involves 2600 (www.2600.com). a program was wrote called DeCSS and if you search you could download it and do the same thing that this program does. be warned though, copying a dvd does take alot of time.

it produces what is relatively new nowadays, a VCD.. i think ? If you have a DVD film. you can burn it to 2 CD-R's.. it will use 2 CD's.. so during the film you would have to resort to the days of the laserdisc and change it..

How well does it work?

 

This product looks vaguely like a scam that I saw reported a few months ago. It was by a different company, but they were essentially selling the same thing (Burn DVD's to VCD) except it turned out that all the buyer was getting was an online informational booklet on how to do it - e.g. where to get the freeware, how to make it work etc.

BTW, the VCD format had been around for some time and is only gaining popularity here in the U.S. recently.

Caveat emptor.

 

Here, read this thread: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread...hp?threadid=414

I didn't look through the whole thing, but I've already spotted a comple of times where people say something like "I paid $xx only to find out I could have gotten it for free".

Have got several VCDs but by far the best quality is DivX.
They're almost as high quality as DVD and the films fit on just one CDR disc each.
Amazing.

I use to spend a lot of time ripping dvd's into DivX format, but in the end, it really wasn't worth it to me. The video quality is not bad, but tape still looks better. Plus there is no Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS with a DivX.
