Busy trying to get all the home movies off Vids and onto DVDs or just my HDD and I noticed something odd.
My LG Combo DVD Recorder has a function where it "dubs" a video tape onto a writable DVD, it essentialy turns the DVD into a movie/video DVD by doing so. Once I put the DVD into my PC in order to rip the movie to my HDD I noticed something odd though...all the tracks were doubled up...in other words there were two identical main tracks and when I ripped them they both seemed fully capable of functioning separately from start to finnish.
When I wanted to check whether official movie DVDs do the same thing I found that yes they also doubled the tracks up, however when I checked on a movie DVD I had authored myself from my recordings with my TV card only one track showed up.
So I was wondering if anyone knows why the tracks are doubled up and if I need to worry about ripping both tracks or if I can just rip one or the other without losing anything?
