What software can be used to make a straight .VOB copy of one DVD to a DVD-R?
Thanks in advance for any help

if the original DVD is less then 5 GB you can use DVD shrink ;)

Not to sure (as i dont have a dvd-rw) but i think it automatically "shrinks" a dvd to fit on a dvd-r if needed

if it is not needed it will not compress it at all

(most new dvds are dvd-9 (dual layered) and can hold approx. 9 GB of data where as dvd-r's are dvd-5 and hold 4.7 GB of data)

PS if you use the re-author section you can strip out the menu and extras reducing the amount the film will have to be compressed

I use Clone DVD, if it is a 5GB or less it works great. Those that are above that what it does for you is lets you split it on two or three cd's. I did the Lord of the Rings and it works great. No video or quaility degradtion either.
