movies or data?\n\nIf you have a fairly good dvd burner on your computer for movies I'd use http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html\n\nDVD Shrink..its FREE, and provides no loss of quality for movies, unlike commercial pay for it dvd back up software.\n\nIts simple to use, all in one software. You used to have to link it to another piece of software.  Now you can just put in a dvd...select OPEN disc.  Then Back UP.  Wait some time (between 10mins to an hour) and it begins burning.  NO loss of quality.\n\nDVD X Copy is a lesser contender, but again being commercial software its a) not free b) you do lose visible quality on your footage if you are compressing a larger film onto a DVD-r(or dvd+r). \n\nOf course you may have a dual layer burner that can cope with 9GB DVD blank discs....\n\nFor data:\n\nI just use NERO.  Why? because its practiaclly idiot proof and does do a lot.\n\nOnce you got your software you'll want discs!\n\nThis is the best place to get them online.  I can get DVD blanks for under a dollar a piece! \nhttp://www.meritline.com/\n\nThis is the type I use http://www.meritline.com/ritek-8x-dvd-r-dvdr-silver-blank-media-discs1.html Though this is DVD-R be sure to buy the type YOU can burn to.  I have recently upgraded to a better DVD player, but my old no thrills basic model coped with these discs whereas it wouldnt others.  My new DVD player copes with pretty much any disc.  But I like these DVDs and pretty much stick them.\n\nMerit line are really cheap (the above start at $0.45 each in packs of 50), and have a 60 day money back garuntee if your dvds are no good.  So you can burn one, try it in your dvd player and if its no good, send it all back! Heck if you only want to burn your kid's dvds...then you could buy 1 box of 50 and there you have 4GB of storage on 1 DVD almost like a mini hard drive!\n\nGood luck

There's a variety of different software and ways of doing this that the possibilities are nearly endless.\n\nHowever, most software will do the same thing and whether or not you want to purchase it is another matter.\n\nOne I use widely to do this and burn it to a back-up DVD is DVDShrink.  It's free and easy to use.\n\nNero Burning-ROM is another good program, for a price, that allows you to save the back-up in various formats.  Additionally, it works great with DVDShrink.

There are two applications available at your disposal.  If you want to backup the entire DVD (including menus, extras etc.), use an application called MacTheRipper.  If on the other hand, you just want to rip the main movie to a single MPEG-4 file, then Handbrake is the way to go.  Both applications are free and can be downloaded at their respective websites.\n\nMacTheRipper:\nhttp://www.mactheripper.org/\n\nHandbrake:\nhttp://handbrake.m0k.org/

There are far too many options to list here.  My suggestion is to read through some of the DVD backup guides available on doom9.org\n\nhttp://www.doom9.org/index.html?/guides.htm

I can recommend you Acronis True Image. Using True Image you can create a hidden partition on your pc for backup purposes only. This partition will be inaccessible for any software including malware. But I strongly recommend you to backup whole your system on the CD/DVD in case you'll encounter with a total hard drive failure.\nYou can purchase the latest version of ATI here:\nhttp://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/\nOr download a free version here:\nhttp://www.acronis.com/mag/vnu-ati7

DVDFab Decrypter v2.9 if you can find a copy. It was free but I heard it was discontinued a few months ago.

The latest version of Nero is a choice that is very simple to operate and there is a data DVD option in it.  \n\nA side benefit is that you can back up your computer regularly in case of crashes or file corruptions.

The proper software solves ur problem.\nI agree with previous post - u definitely need protection.\nTo protect ur PC u need software.\nThere are lot's of. And it's up to u to choose.\nAs well as software for backing up.\nbut i'd recommend u True Image(Acronis,).\nit can create imige directly to DVDs without using 3rd party DVD burning software. U can visit their homepage\nUnfortunately, i don't know whether u can afford or not buying 2 softs(80$ = 50(backup soft) + 30(Spyware)).\nbut, u'll need them in future anyway.  \nnow, There are companies who producied both (spyware,back up) softs, for example Symantec, Acronis.\nand so on. \ni've found interesting page recently (it comparies Symantec Vs Acronis backup software products).

It is not illegal to make backups of your own DVDs, as long as you keep them for yourself.  I use DVDShrink, it works great and it's free!
