I just got this the other day since I will be planning to make multiple copies of my DVDs. However I know most of my DVDs are new and might not work due to the copyright css stuff. Wondering if there was a way around this or maybe a different program that anyone might recommend?? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. I actually searched for similar topics on burning and actually came across MTR. However, after I have it ripped onto my HD, I open popcorn to burn it, the video_ts folder. However, when I drag and drop the folder into popcorn, the program quits on me. I can't seem to get to the point of burning it, it always crashes when I load the folder onto there. Any suggestions?? Thanks.

I do not use Popcorn, I use a combination of MTR, DVD2oneX (should be similar to Popcorn) and burn it in Toast as "DVD-Video from VIDEOTS" (the setting)
never had a problem
in DVD2oneX I remove any extras and it will fit the remains into one 4.7 GB DVD creating a new VIDEOTS folder which I drag into Toast (including the AUDIO folder) and burn as DVD
NOTE these are my own DVDs

Have you updated Popcorn to the latest version?

I use MTR and Popcorn to backup my collection with no problems on a G5 iMac running 10.4.2

That was my problem. Thanks for your help. I went to the site, downloaded the 1.0.3 and now it works fine. So far I have been able to successfully copy Sin City and Troy. Thanks for everyone's help. You guys know your stuff.

I know you need an AUDIO_TS folder with DVD2ONE, but, is it also necessary for Popcorn?

yes... it has nothing to do with Popcorn or DVD2 it is there just so that a DVD player can read it... (yes I know it is empty, but thats how it works.)
Toast usually warns that it is missing the AUDIOTS folder

More info:
DVD creation article in MCW
"(The AUDIO_TS folder will always be empty, but dont try to create a DVD that lacks one; the DVD may not play in some players. And in case this ever comes up in a trivia contest, TS stands for transport stream.)"
