Hi everyone. This question has probably been asked time and time again. I am totally new to DVD coping. My question is: - What is the easiest and quickest way to copy my DVD movies that I have bought? The reason is my 4-½ yrs old son is wrecking/damaging mine and his DVD movies. Any advice would be most welcome Thanks Alex
get clonedvd2 and anydvd,they are made by the same company not free,but worth every penny http://www.slysoft.com/en/
I agree AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 are one of the easiest and quickest ways to back up. However if you are looking for free programs the try DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter which you can find at http://www.filepedia.com look under rippers. Guide is available for these programs at http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/backup with Decrypter&Shrink.pdf
@alexgw, Here is a simple and basic steps to back up DVD movie using DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink on a DVD5 disc(single layer), assuming you already have the latest from "Decrypter & Shrink", and of course they're both "free"and they're very easy to use. ** put blank dvd (please use good media such as Fuji, Verbatim, Maxell or Sony) in dvd burner ** put original dvd in dvd rom ** open up your c: drive or hard drive, go to NEW, Folder, name it “NEWBACKUPMOVIE” or anything you want, then hit [enter] to save the Folder ** open up DVD Decrypter, MODE, ISO, READ R ** choose your SOURCE <-- your dvd rom with Original movie ** choose your Destination <-- browse to your hard drive with your newly created folder earlier; example:NEWBACKUPMOVIE, then click on OPEN, and SAVE ** now click on DECRYPT, wait until it's completed, and closed DVD Decrypter (this takes about 15 - 20 mins or depending on your computer specs) ** open up DVD Shrink, go to FILE, Open Disc Image, and browse to your ISO you created with DVD Decrypter(NEWBACKUPMOVIE) in your hard drive, and OPEN it ** Shrink should do a quick Analysis now.... wait until it's completed ** NOTE: if you want super quality and just the main movie only without the extras and menu, then you can click on "Re-author" mode, click on "main title 1" and drag it to drop under the "DVD Structure", then click on BACKUP, and OK **NOTE: if you want to do a “CUSTOM” on a DVD-R/+R disc, set your CUSTOM to “4400MB” or to your desire, but don’t “exceed” a DVD-R/+R’s capacity, to do this, go to EDIT, then PREFERENCES, and set it up, then hit “OK” when you’re done. ** NOTE: if you want "Full Disc Backup" with better quality, then you should set the "quality settings" to “Maximum Sharpness” or to your desire ** click on BACKUP, on TARGET DEVICE, select “Backup Target to: ISO Image File and Burn with DVD Decrypter”, and on "select target image file": browse to your folder you created earlier “NEWBACKUPMOVIE” in your Hard Drive ** now hit OK, sit back and relax, DVD Shrink will do the encoding, wait until it's completed (this takes anywhere from 20 - 35 mins depending on your computer specs) ** once Shrink is done, it should automatically back up with DVD Decrypter. ** that's it....wait for DVD Decrypter to finish the back up process and you're done (this takes about 7 - 10 mins depending on your computer specs). Hope this help you a little. Have fun burning!!!
