How to make a Copy of your DVD
I never understand why so many people have so many troubles when they need to make a copy DVD. I always think it is very simple process. You need to make just two or three simple steps and only one of them required some brain activity. Internet is full of some strange programs like 1Click DVD Copy, DVD X Copy, DVD Cloner and many many more. All of them promise you one-button-click solution. None of them can really do a good job. Bad quality, bad compatibility and high price.
How do I make a copy of any DVD? Like I said its 2 or 3 step process.
Step 1.
(For this step we need freeware program called DVD Decrypter)
1. Open DVD Decrypter.
2. Go to Mode->File.
3. Check size of your DVD.
4a. If you size is less than 4.7 GB then go to Mode->ISO->Read and then choose folder and click Decrypt Button. You ready-to-burn ISO file is ready. You can skip to Step 3!
4b. If your size is more than 4.7 GB that means that DVD has two layers you need to remove some stuff from it. Choose folder and click Decrypt button. Then go to Step 2.
Step 2.
(For this step we need program called Elby Clone DVD 2)
1. Open CloneDVD.
2. Click Clone DVD. Choose folder with your files from DVD Decrypter. You should see your DVD Titles.
3. Your goal is to keep your compression rate in the green zone as close as possible to 100%. Just check each title and uncheck all unneeded ones. Get rid of all “coming soon” and “how to make movie like this one” sections.
4. Click Next. Here you can choose your audio streams. Remove all French, Spanish and Chinese streams. (of course if it is not your native language
) If you have DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 get rid of DTS.
5. Click Next. Choose ISO/UDF image. Choose folder. Click Next. Wait. then go to step 3.
Step 3.
(For this step we need freeware program called DVD Decrypter again)
1. Start DVD Decrypter.
2. Go to Mode->ISO->Write
3. Choose your ISO file from Step 1 or Step 2.
4. Click Write.
That’s it. Enjoy your copy.

Laser TV
Looks like we have new technology to join our current LCD TV vs. Plasma TV battle.
Australian company Arasor International and its US partner Novalux unveiled what they claimed to be the world’s first laser television. It is scheduled for Christmas 2007 worldwide sales launch. It is produced by recognisable brands such as Samsung and Mitsubishi and is is claimed to be half the price, twice as good, and use a quarter of the electricity of conventional plasma and LCD TVs. Also Laser TV is going to show us 90% of colors that human eye can see. (Current LCD and Palsma can show only 30%-35%)
Manufacturing company Arasor produces the unique optoelectronic chip central to the laser projection device being developed by Silicon Valley-based Novalux, which is being used by a number of television manufacturers.
Combine the fact that Sony recently dropped its Plasma TV production with this new innovation technology it looks like I am not going to place any bets on Plasmas in this TV technology battle.
