It's set during the 1930 depression in Australia. A lot of unemployed people drift out of the cities into the country looking for work and discover gold prospecting. It's a 2 DVD set available in Auckland Libraries. Got a new computer with windows 7. It's got a program DVD shrink for burning DVDs. Does any one know how to operate it and get it started ? I know you have to copy it on to the hard drive first. Could come in handy.

Magic DVD Ripper is a good one but not free (not expensive either!) http://www.magicdvdripper.com/ Once done you can enjoy watching the video or burn it onto a disc for yourself. Be aware that copyright laws state that you can make a back-up of any DVD for yourself only and you can not dispose of it to anyone else by any means.

If the DVD has any kind of copy protection you will need to use a program such as AppGeeker DVD Ripper to 'rip' the DVD to file formats you want on your hard drive. How to Rip DVD to MP4 on Mac/PC with Quality Lossless Then you need a program such as Windows DVD Maker to convert the ripped file and burn to DVD. http://download.cnet.com/Windows-DVD-Maker/3000-7970_4-75328369.html It is an application included in Windows Vista and Windows 7 enabling the creation of DVD movies viewable on a standalone DVD player.
