I know nothing

[nut]

Bought a laptop with a DVD burner. Right, how do I get it to work? I think I need another program. Can I get one for free ( tight arse )?? Because I'm trying to copy Happy Gilmore and it wont work?

Well it should have came with some dvd program, non the less look for:

deepburner (to burn dvds) and this topic to rip the movie

If it is not a new laptop, you may have to reinstall the DVD codecs. These codecs don't come bundled with XP. do a search on kazaa or similar for "DVD Decoder Pack For Windows XP". You can then using a prgram like Real player to view the DVDs.

Yeh I've got a program and it copies pirated DVD's but not copy rightede stuff. Is there a sight were I can find a program download it for nothing and copy DVD's. I;m not the best with computers so a stick figure illustration would be great if you know what I mean.

Try these:-

www.dvddecrypter.com/download.asp

http://www.dvdshrink.org/where.html

DVD Decrypter will laugh in the face of any copy protection you'll find on a DVD.

DVD Shrink will allow you to fit a dual-layer DVD onto a single-layer blank DVD (by "shrinking" the contents).

Thanks for the help. I think I'm almost there. I have the programs now and they decrypt and they shrink but now I can't get them to burn on to a blank disc.?? It says I have to get Nero to burn. Can I use the program that came with the computer( NTI Cd and DCD- Maker Gold) ?? Or do I have to buy nero???

Look I'm pretty green. How do I get the Image to ISO.

I've Got There's Something about Mary on my Hard drive but I cant Burn it onto a disc. I've tried DeepBurner but it doesn't seem to work.

This is the order in which I have tried.

First used the DVD dycrypter

Then the DVDshrink 3.1

Then I try to burn it with Deep burner and NTI cd/dvd Maker- Gold
but it doesn't work

From memory, I think you might need Nero. You should be able to download a trial version. Then perhaps find a crack for it (if you're into that sort of thing)...
