>>>Thanks for all the replies. I download a copy of DVD
Decrypter fromwww.flexion.org. It works great to get acopy of
the DVD on your hard drive. Trouble is, the files are all 6-8 gig.So
they can't be put back on a normal CD. Nice try anyway. Guess
I'll just buy an extra copy next time.Ron-----Original
Message-----Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 11:11 AMTo: Multiple
recipients of list ORACLE-LThe specs I gave are just that.
Specifications from the DVD MPEG group.Most DVDs pressed today are
dual-layered (due to all the extra content andfeatures). You can
usually see the layer switch, unless you have a secondor third generation
DVD player (they have large buffers for this). I canalways tell
where it is becuase my receiver drops the audio for a second andthen
re-acquires.As for DVD-18 (18gb dual layered dual sided) discs, these
are dual-layerdflipper discs. They are usually the ones with
STANDARD pan and scan on oneside and WIDESCREEN on the other,and multiple
features on both. Some willeven put Dolby digital on one side and
DTS on the other. A good example ofa DVD-18 disc is the early
release copies of T2:Terminator 2. This dischas a ton of extra
content, in addition to the extended movie, and wasoriginally put on one
disc (two sides dual layered). They used every inchof space for that
one. However, the demand for sales was way beyond
theirexpectations. And since, at the time, there was only 1 or two
plantscapable of pressing dual-layered dual-sided discs, they couldn't
meetdemand. So they shifted to a 2-disc set. That's what
you'll find today.There is a judegment call to be made on cost of 2 discs,
packaging andweight versus 1 flipper disc with not as many
copies.I haven't seen too many dual-sided dual-layered (DVD-18) discs
out lately soI don't know where the trend is headed. I do see alot
of flipper discs(standard / widescreen) but they are usually
single-layered. I think theytry to keep the discs as simple as
possible (single-layered) when they canso all players can read them
ok. There are quite a few (Abyss, Matrix amongothers) which can be
troublsome in the earlier players (seamless branchingand index
features).I could go on an on (I used to work for a company which did
DVD), but thisis an Oracle forum, right? By the way, we used
Informix for our databaseneeds. Hey, at least they beat our
Sybase...-----Original Message-----SpenceSent: Wednesday,

would take approximately 6-10 CD-R to handle the average DVD in
fullquality. Although in poor quality they are generally only 1.2Gb from
what Ihave seen.DVD can hold 5.7Gb-9Gb."Walking on water

ORACLE-LOr you can convert them to VCD format and burn them to a
regular CD-R,although it will probably span more that one
CD-R.--Michael-----Original Message-----Sent: Tuesday,

ORACLE-LYou may be able to copy them but all the copyright or
copyleft guys will beat your doorstep by tomorrow. I have heard about and
seen a 4 line perlimplementation that decodes the VOBs to hard disk, but
then you need largedisk space as well.A DVD RAM drive would help
though
