ianymaty Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 ImgBurn can copy discs only if there are not copyprotected. ImgBurn only burn discs. It can't decrypt, shrink or whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Actually, I am curious if there is a DVDShrink like app for Blu-Ray, myself. Or something like DVDReMake/VOBBlanker for Blu-Ray as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Googled it. There is such software right now in beta phase. It apparently does both the work of DVDReMake and DVDShrink for Blu-Ray discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Also, are Blu-Ray discs scratch proof? There was a promo at the start of a Disney DVD, Wall-E I think, that claims one of the selling points of Blu-Ray discs is that their data layers are scratch proof? Is that a true claim?

Rincewind Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Sounds like false advertising to me. They should have gone with scratch resistant (keyword right there). Bluray discs have the new 'hardcoating' layer on them, because supposedly also the disc is so much closer (micrometers??) closer to the laser apparatus that there is a possible chance of surface contact? Not sure if can be verified though. This is also why bluray achieves a higher density (besides the even closer together pits). In some cases now I wish HD-DVD won over bluray, only for a more stable format perhaps. In any case, I don't buy their claim if it is scratch-proof.
