Free DVD Copy software

HanaDaddy 2 Comments

You need to copy your most precious DVD movie as a backup.

But when you searched the free CD-DVD copy software , most of them are shareware and functions are limited.

This is my tip on how to copy (copy protected ) DVD using Free Software. Be ware, you need to use two separate software to do this and it’s not easy like a commercial software. But not that hard either. You can do it with a little bit of patience.

First get DVDFAB HD Decryptor from http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm. As the description says, it is a free software that removes copy-protection and copies the DVD data to Hard Disk. You can only use first two menus from the left menu bar. You can copy complete DVD or select specific movie files to copy.

Second, you will need free software to copy local DVD files stored in HD into a blank DVD. I just can’t remember what it was. I will just find it and update it later. 🙂

It is called ImgBurn. Once executed, you need to select the Mode=>Build menu to create an ISO file or write files into DVD directly.

I will update with the details later.

I am sorry , but there was no update. But I recommend you below article , as long as I know, it is the best and easiest way to copy DVD.

After a month of using Track Ball

HanaDaddy 2 Comments

So time is really fast and already a month has passed since I started using Track Ball at work.

So what do I think about trackball?

It’s great and I love it. It took me about a week to get used with this thumb track ball. I do not have any pain in the wrist and the shoulder since I do not move my wrist and arm at all. But sometimes, I still have a little of pain on the index finger knuckle at the end of day. I guess I usually click too much and fast.

However, the regular mouse is maybe a little bit better in terms of pointing accuracy.

I also tried Kensington Expert mouse, but I do not recommend it because its ball is bigger and you will need to use index or middle finger to control the ball. I experienced pain in the wrist again so I returned it right away. I did try to use my thumb to control it but it was too awkward and difficult. According to some website review, they loved the Expert mouse, but it wasn’t for me. It was way too much expensive ($90) than the logitech mouse anyway.

There are other options out there if you looking for ergonomic mouse. But I think thumb track ball is the best if you suffer both wrist and shoulder pain.

Here is Amazon.com Link for Logitech Trackman Wheel Mouse and this is the cordless one.
