View Full Version : how do i copy a dvd ?
Insert DVD into one drive, insert blank DVD into other drive. Go through the menu options in something like Nero Burning Rom to copy the disc, and hit the Record button. Job jobbed.
BTW, copying is allowed, so long as you own the original, and are copying SOLELY for your own backup purposes.

I think you'll find a caveat in the law for digital media. For example, if you buy a CD, you're legally allowed to keep that as your "backup" copy, and transfer the contents into MP3s for use in your MP3 player. The specific caveat about backups being that only one copy is in use at any given time.
If you want to get picky, recording the radio onto cassettes has always been illegal. Just as making your own mix tapes up always has been. Has anyone been prosecuted for it ever? Not that I've heard of. :p
EDIT: Hovis, it's much much easier if you have a 2 DVD drives, at least one of which can write. Oh, and to save pedants like sarah getting on your case, I presume this is a DVD containing a slideshow of photo's of your family, made by another member of your family. Thereby it's not subject to copyright legislation...

Well, there wasn't one when i got my diploma in intellectual property!
The Gowers' review (last year) included the suggestion that it should be made legal to copy CDs to music players or computers, it isn't legal yet though!

In that case, plod should go knocking on every door in the country. Do you have a computer? Oh you do? Then I'm seizing it under suspicion of copyright infringement, etc etc etc.
Easier target than bikers. :rolleyes:

other drive?
one drive? set source and destination as the same, eject source disk when data has been taken off and insert a blank for the data to be put onto.

I'm not trying to say that the law is sensible or enforceable, I just wanted to correct what you said. Hey, I'm paid to be a pedant (in the field of intellectual property)!

If it's a homemade DVD then it won't have any copy protection.
Film DVD's are encrypted to stop copying I think. It's illegal to copy films.

Do a Google search for 'DVD Decrypter' and 'DVD Shrink' - Both freeware & both superb for copying DVD's ;)

Not all of them are
*cough* dvd recorder *cough* ;)

well, yes. That is an option cos it records the output from the DVD player. It does take the whole running time of the DVD to copy though I thought, yes?
IIRC they're encrypted to stop(well, make it a bit harder) copying on a PC, which is faster to burn.
I tried to copy all my vodeos onto DVD using a DVD/Video recorder. Most of the videos were copy protected so I couldn't.

I wish I still had my old dvd player, it had a macro-disable function, although apparently totally illegal, it meant you could copy and dvd copyrighted or not

Top tips :thumleft:, although you might find it hard to get dvd decrypter as it was pulled. I stil have a copy though *cough* Ifoedit is also really handy, and for those that want easy backups dvd fab is supposed to be ok.

That is the stupidest thing I have heard. The point is not whether you get caught, but the act in the first place. That's like saying it's ok to mug old ladies as long as they don't catch you!
We have had this argument on here before. Said the same thing then as I say now - If you don't own the copyright, then don't copy it - simple. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
:rant:
Home tapeing is killing music!!

Are we talking about speeding here?
Hovis - did you get it sorted? Or do you still need help?
