	'''Note: This guide is for the Command Line Interface version of DiscImageCreator, if you have no idea what that means, please use the GUI version (as it's much simpler): [[Disc Dumping Guide (MPF)]].'''		##REDIRECT[[Disc Dumping Guide (DIC CLI)]]

	The purpose of this [[Dumping-Guides\|dumping guide]] is create perfect copies of DVD-based discs using a Windows computer with DiscImageCreator app. For additional questions, support, and reference, use the forum thread [~~https://forum.redump.info/topic/10483/discimagecreator/ here]. Do not be shy if you need help! For copy-protected DVD-Video (standard movies) see this guide:~~ [~~[DVD-Video Dumping Guide]].~~

	~~Compatible disc drives: Any DVD compatible computer disc drive.~~

	==Disc ~~Compatibility==~~

	~~This dumping guide encompasses the following DVD disc types:~~
	* '''PlayStation 2 (DVD)'''. Most PS2 discs were released in DVD disc format (white/clear data-side color), however some were released in CD-ROM format (indigo data-side color). This guide covers only the DVD discs, for CD-ROM discs see the guide [[CD Dumping Guide (DiscImageCreator)\|CD Dumping Guide]].
	* '''Computer Games (DVD)''', including Windows (IBM PC Compatible), Macintosh, or Windows/Mac hybrid discs. Many older computer games were released in DVD or CD-ROM format. This guide covers only DVD games. For CD-ROM discs see the guide [[CD Dumping Guide (DiscImageCreator)\|CD Dumping Guide~~]].~~

	~~==First Time Setup / Tools==~~

	* '''DiscImageCreator''': [https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator/releases Download the latest version] (should be named similar to: "DiscImageCreator_20180127.zip"), then unzip it. Wherever you put the unzipped folder will affect where your roms are written to when you dump the discs.
	* '''Install these Microsoft Packages''': [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49981] [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685]

	~~==Dumping==~~

	~~Now you have all the tools, are all setup and ready to begin dumping. Launch the native Windows app "Command Prompt" (Start menu > Windows System > Command Prompt).~~
	* Open the DiscImageCreator folder you downloaded and unzipped (note: in the example "DiscImageCreator_20180127" is the name of the example folder / release version, please update according to the version you have), go into the "Release_ANSI" subfolder, and copy the directory location. For example "C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\Downloads\DiscImageCreator_20180127\Release_ANSI"
	* It's time to navigate to this directory inside of the Command Prompt app. Type in "cd" followed by your Release_ANSI directory location in quotes, for example:
	~~'''cd "C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\Downloads\DiscImageCreator_20180127\Release_ANSI"'''~~
	* Now you will type the code in the Command Prompt to dump the disc. For example: '''DiscImageCreator.exe dvd <span style="color:red">d</span> MyGameTitle_Dump1.iso <span style="color:#0000FF">8</span>''' This command should be changed for your specifics, "<span style="color:red">d</span>" is the dvd disc drive location, and "<span style="color:#0000FF">8</span>" is the max read speed on the example DVD drive model. You can Google your DVD drive model to find out it's max read speed, but 8 should be safe otherwise. Dump the game twice, "MyGameTitle_Dump1.iso" and "MyGameTitle_Dump2.iso", changing the title to suit your needs.

	~~==Collecting Information about your Disc==~~

	It is recommended to use [https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/wiki/MPF-Check MPF.Check] to assist with generating submission info. Otherwise, create a separate file based on [/Submission_Template Submission Template] to fill in the following information:

	* '''Game title''': Most obvious, is located everywhere. Please include subtitle.
	* '''Disc title''': Some games stored on multiple discs may have discs with titles. Examples: [https://redump.info/disc/15041/ Armored Core: Nexus (~~Disc 1~~) ~~(Evolution)] and [https://redump.info/disc/15042/ (Disc 2) (Revolution)].~~
	* '''Game languages''': Start the game and look for "Language" menu in options.
	* '''Version''':
	** For PS2 games, find the file on your disc named "SYSTEM.CNF" and open in Notepad app, "VER" = version number.
	** For PC games, the game version is either located in files like INI, CONFIG, README and or can (only) be obtained from in-game main menu.
	* '''Edition''': Some games were re-released in different packages, for example, "Platinum", "Greatest Hits", "PlayStation 2 the Best" series. If game was released in original package, post edition as "Original".
	* '''Media''': If the DVD is greater than 4.7 GB and up to 8.5 GB, the DVD is DVD-9. Otherwise most of the time, it is DVD-5.
	* '''Barcode''': Submit the numbers from under the barcode: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Article_Number EAN] / [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code UPC] code, usually printed on the back cover of the packaging or disc case. If there are multiple barcodes present (e.g. on outer sleeve/inner jewel case) then add all of these and comma separate them. Please submit exactly as printed on the item. [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/599357686332784671/1146139502272843836/RedumpBarcodeExamples.jpg Examples]
	* '''Serial number''': Usually printed on disc itself.
	* '''Ring code info''': stamped on the inner ring. Check both sides for any ringcodes (small stamps may require magnifying glass to see). Report whatever ring codes are readable.
	* '''.dat and .txt files''': DiscImageCreator will generate .dat and .txt files. Attach these files to your post when submitting.
