[Guide] How to Backup/Compress DVD to PSP

[B00TL3GG3R]

This will be my first tut from scratch..

This Guide is to show how to 'back-up' your legally owned DVD's and then compress to PSP. Software needed can be found FREELY on the Intra-webz except Nero....unless you have some other video burning software which will work also. But for this guide I will be using Nero 7 ultra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Software needed & FREE:
http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm = DVDfab HD Decryptor - Video Decryptor - used to copy video files - located @ middle of page - Removes all the protections (CSS, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs and Sony ARccOS) while copying. It also comes with full HD-DVD and Blu-Ray support (Removes AACS).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware needed....but NOT FREE:
DVD burner of course....
blank DVD -R or +R will work
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If desired Movie is already on hard-drive and wanting to compress to PSP format then proceed to Step II

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part I
Backup of DVD

for this we will create 2 new folders on Desktop called 'DVD' & 'TEMP FOR DVD'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) put DVD you wish to back up in to DVD drive and open DVDfab decryptor...for this demo we will use my legally owned copy of 'The hills have Eyes2'

we will only be extracting the main movie(pic1)

Spoiler for pic1:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.) click 'main movie':
pic2

Spoiler for pic2:

so basically we want to just uncheck everything in the audio section except for english...also uncheck all boxes in 'Subpicture' section as above unless you want Subtitles.
This is where we can also browse to where we want to save our files....for now we will save to the folder on desktop we created earlier called DVD (pic2) ...when ready click start.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.) now it is copying all the files while bypassing the *cough**cough*...I think we all know what it's doing:
pic3:

Spoiler for pic3:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.) let it run until it finishes
pic4:

Spoiler for pic4:

click 'finish' then close program

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.) now in the 'DVD' folder where we directed the program to save to on your desktop should be a folder called 'MainMovie' & within this folder should be the actaul name of the movie'
pic5:

Spoiler for pic5:

within this folder should be 2 other folder 'Audio' & 'Video'
pic6:

Spoiler for pic6:

Audio folder is always empty needs to be there though.

Check folder size of the 'Video' Folder
pic7

Spoiler for pic7:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 1 = If smaller than 4.5gb then proceed to step 13 to burn directly to DVD using Nero7 or other compatiable burning software

Option 2 = If larger than 4.5gb, the video will not fit on standard single layer DVD then proceed to 'Compression to fit onto standard DVD'

Option 3 = If ONLY wanting to compress to PSP then proceed to Part II

For this demo we will pretend this video is larger than 4.5gb and proceed onto compression to fit onto standard DVD.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compression to fit onto standard DVD

DVD shrink is also capable of removing all the menu's & such, same as DVDFab HD Decryptor but the reason we don't use it from the start is it is no longer updated with the bypass software.

6.) open DVD shrink then click on 'Open Files'.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.) select in the drop down menu which drive the blank dvd is located and then select the location of where to temporarily place the compressed files that will be burned onto the DVD...for this demo we will use the folder on desktop called 'TEMP FOR DVD'S' we created earlier.

Spoiler for pic20:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.) If files were smaller than standard dvd 4.5gb...no need to use DVDshrink:
open Nero or other compatible video burning software:
pic21:

Spoiler for pic21:

choose video/pictures -> DVD-video files:
pic22:

Spoiler for pic22:

now drag and drop the Video & audio folders into Nero.


when folders are dragged into Nero which then should look like this:
pic23

Spoiler for pic23:

Nero will let you know if the movie is too large to fit on a standard single layer DVD.

click next:
pic24

Spoiler for pic24:

select the destination drive of the blank DVD and click 'Burn'..once DVD is done close Nero.

Backup of DVD is now Complete................. DVD shrink and/or Nero can be closed.

pic29

Spoiler for pic29:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) next this window will appear...on the 'Main' tab flag all options as I have here:
pic30

Spoiler for pic30:

for this guide I chose 720x480 @ 864kps video which can be run on all firmware's above 3.30 official and CFW.

You also have the option of choosing 480x272 in this drop down window.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6) on the 'Advanced' tab check all option as I have here:
pic31

Spoiler for pic31:

make sure 'De-interlace' is flagged or you may see horizontal lines in the action sequences. once that is done click 'OK'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler for pic32:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8) now click start:
pic33

Spoiler for pic33:

and let it run


9.) if you are multi-tasking you can flag Xvid4psp to run in 'Below normal mode'
pic34

Spoiler for pic34:

I don't know about the rest of you....but my PC is on 24hrs a day.....I usually start the compression before I goto bed at night and set to 'High'...usually done by the time my fat a** wakes up at the butt-crack of dawn.

Once done simply drag & drop into the Video folder on the root of mem stick & delete all files from the 'DVD' folder on the desktop.

The only thing I would question......is that I'm not too sure if it is legal to show how to bypass ********** of movies......but I did PM a Mod to verify before creating this thread and this is NOT covered in the Piracy thread here:

If I left anything out please bring it to my attention and I will update guide.

here is a small clip from my newly purchased & back'd up copy of '300' that I compressed to PSP:
