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.

Clone DVD will do the trick. But it saves it in VBO's which Power DVD Player will recognise.\nYou could then use Video Redo to convert it to mpeg if you wanted to since you don't seem to want to burn a copy.

Well most times there is a block on commercially-released DVDs.  You cannot copy them.  If you CAN however you need to simply copy the original DVD onto your hard drive, then insert your blank DVD into the burner and copy the movie from your hard drive onto the blank disc.

Dvd shrink. (dvdshrink.com) will decode and allow you to rip anything. . . .But only if you can download it FIRST. I don't think there is a way around that, unless you ask for permission from the website. Copyrighted items can be "borrowed" if you have permission. I would just email them and ask. Let them know what you are going to use it for, too.

If you want a program that "just works" with the click of a button, I would look to DVD95Copy. The more techie bunch of us use a combination of tools such as DVD Shrink, etc. but if you are looking for a non-technical solution, I would try theirs.

Since it's not copy protected, this is VERY EASY. Simply make a folder on your hard drive and then copy the contents of your DVD into this folder. Then using an application that burns DVD-Video (such as Nero) create a compilation and then drag the contents of VIDEO_TS into the VIDEO_TS folder in your "DVD-Video" compilation and then burn the disc. To reiterate, make sure you create a DVD-Video compilation, not a DVD-ISO/UDP/Boot disc, etc. Most burning software will check the compilation to make sure that it is DVD-Video compliant and let you know if there are any problems with compatibility.

1) I use Sony DVD-RW's. They're the best and you can reuse them if you decide to erase. They're not permanent like DVD-R's. So far the only place I've found them is Staples.\n\n2) Play the DVD through a portable device and record to a DVD recorder. That will allow you to get past the copyright devices.

Most DVDs are copy-protected so that you can't do that, since it's a form of theft.  If it's your own content, that you are entitled to copy, then just copy the files onto your hard drive, then attach in the usual manner.
