    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Backing up dvds with dual layer

Just got a lacie dual layer external dvd burner, some blank dual layers, and want to back up a few of my movies. I have mactheripper and toast titanium 6, once I rip the DVD with MTR, do I just drag all the files to "data" burning on Toast? At that point I get a little lost, or do I use the video tab? I just want the burned dvd to run exactly like the regular dvd.

Or does Toast 6 not even support dual layer burning?

HELP I spent a lot of money on this stuff!

In Toast 6 you do the following and it should work.

With the VIDEO_TS folder to make a DVD-R using Toast 6

Open Toast

Go to the Data tab and select DVD-ROM (UDF) from the left menu

*Very important* Hit the New Disc button on the bottom of the window!

Give your Untitled DVD a title (or not, I just like to say what the show is - default is My Disc)

Drag your VIDEO_TS folder into the window ** IT MUST BE NAMED VIDEO_TS TO WORK **

You can either drag the AUDIO_TS folder in or Toast will make one for you.

Put a blank DVD-R into your drive

Then hit record


Also be sure to update Toast 6 Titanium to the lastes version. I think it's 6.1.1. There are some issues that were fixed with some Dual Layer Media with the updates.
