how do you copy a DVD on the computer.. do I need anything besides a burner ?
105418
I just recently tried to burn a DVD for the first time.  I went to backup a Concert I have on DVD. I put it in the DVD burner, opened the Roxio software, hit copy DVD and the software told me it was copywright protected and that I did not have permission to copy.  The Software then closed. No DVD copy.  So I am guessing our software needs software -  if we want to be able to copy professionally made DVDs. I went to Yahoo search page and typed "How do I copy DVDs on my computer?" and I found several places you can go that explain the entire process. I didn't get any further.  Better luck to you !!

Depends on what you are doing.\nIf you are just burning files (like docs and spreadsheets) you can use Nero, or Deepburner (Free).  Or you can use Windows by Drag and Dropping onto the DVD-Drive letter in My COmputer.\n\nIf you want to Make DVDs, it gets alot more complex because it has to be burned a specific way.  My Suggestion is DVD-Shrink, however it has been discontinued.  Maybe if you look online you can find it.

you don't need a cd burner.  But you do need a DVD drive.\n\nIf you can play the DVD on your computer then you can get the movie onto your computer with something called DVD Shrink.\n\nhttp://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html

Apparently you have a DVD burner. If you also have a DVD player besides the DVD burner you can put the one that plays in the DVD player in comptuer and put a blank DVD disk in the DVD burner and use Nero (seems to work very well) and choose the option of copy entire disk. This should work for you..If you don't have a DVD player in the computer you can pick up a DVD/CDrw @ walmart (lite-on brand) for around 30-40 bucks....Thanks

You're going to need some DVD burning software. Some should have come with the computer or DVD burner. Look in your start menu->all programs for something like MyDVD or Nero or Roxio. If you don't find anything then look through the disks that came with the computer or DVD burner for the same program names and install it.

Copying Movies can be a slightly complicated process if you're not familiar with the programs used to do it. However, once you're accustomed to using the software, it's much easier.\n\nSo here's how to get started:\n\nBurning DVDs with DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, and Nero.\n\nBefore you start, you’ll need to have the following programs installed on your computer:\n\nDVD Decrypter\nhttp://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ \n\nDVD Shrink\nhttp://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/ \n\nNero (version 6.3 or higher recommended, which you can download from oldversion.com)\nhttp://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=nero \n\nserial number for Nero 6.3\nhttp://computer-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/05/nero-63.html \n\n\n(Note: DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink are free online.)\n\n(Note: Always try to use a new, unscratched DVD movie disc whenever making copies, as discs in poor condition may not copy, or will likely pass on glitches to the copy.)\n\nIt’s also recommended that you don’t run other programs while burning DVDs unless you have over 1GB of RAM or more.\n\nInsert the disc you wish to copy.\n\nClose any DVD player program that opens.\n\nPhase 1\n\nOpen DVD Decrypter.\n\nClick on Mode > ISO > Read\n\nNow click on the folder icon that shows where the DVD file will be saved. Choose a folder.\n\nNow click on File > Decrypt.\n\nThe process of making an exact copy of the disc to the hard drive should take approx. 30-40min. depending on the length of the movie and extra features.\n\nWhen DVD Decrypter is finished creating the file, you can close the program and eject the disc.\n\nPhase 2\n\nNow open DVD Shrink.\n\nClick on File > Open Disc Image\n\nBrowse for the file that you saved when copying with DVD Decrypter.\n\nDVD Shrink will now analyze the movie for a minute or two.\n\nUncheck boxes for extra audio Languages that you don't need on the DVD\n\nClick on the plus + sign by the Extras folder.\n(This is where the bonus materials are on the disc)\n\nTo have higher movie quality, remove the extras by clicking on the individual files and selecting Still image/still images from the dropdown menu. (You can preview the extras if you want to see the clips before removing them.)\n\nIf you'd like to keep the extra features on the DVD, select the clip and change the dropdown menu to custom compression and lower it to about 50 or 60 percent for each extra.\n\nClick on the main movie folder. If you've removed enough extras, or compressed them, the movie quality should be around 60-70%, the HIGHER THE BETTER.\n\nNote: Target quality is about 65-70%, anything higher than 65%, and on regular size\nTV's you won't be able to tell the difference between the copy and the original.\n\nI personally either remove the extras or compress them to achieve the best quality.\n\nIf a movie is not too much over two hours, or doesn't have many extras, it will copy\ncloser to 100% quality.\n\nWhen you’ve achieved the quality setting on the main movie that you’d like, click on the Backup! icon.\n\nInsert a blank DVD disc.\n\nBefore clicking OK to start the burning, click on the Burn Settings tab and change the speed to 1 or 2 speeds lower than the highest available.\n\nDVD Shrink will now compress the file that DVD Decrypter made and create DVD video files. Afterwards, it will automatically burn those files and the disc will be completed.\n\nThis will take about 20-30 min. to create the DVD video files and approx. 10-15 min. to burn onto the blank disc.

You need to buy a burning program to burn DVD. Most players only do CDs. If there is any players that do CDs, I don't know about it. Tell me if you find out.

first you have to have DVD ROM and writer and burner , check your disk drive on the PC it has to say DVD ROM/RW. if you don't have it then it wont copy . if you have then simply copy to that drive in my computer and write it .

You dont need instructions if you use www.dvd-cloner.com. Ive been using it for 2 years now. They even have a decriptor that can copy 99% of DVDs without worrying about the copyright protection. The upgrades are free and it is one simple click as long as you have a DVD copy drive. Just get that software and a pack of DVD-R and copy them. As long as you dont distribute them for sale and its for your personal use, then it is not illegal.
