Copying Dvds
9 Answers
I am looking for a program to purchase which will enable me to copy my dvds to leave at the caravan to save having to transport them back & forth. I have tried a couple of well known downloads which give the option of a free trial before buying ( NCH etc) unfortunately I cannot get any of them to work ( my system is W7) Can anyone suggest my next move ? TIA.

It is possible - and sometimes you have to be able to copy a disc - perhaps the original disc doesn't work in your player, but a copy does etc! People also transfer their dvd's to ipods/ipads. Not wanting to incur the wrath of AB, I can't give you the name of the relevant programs, but hopefully this as been of some help.

It is breach of copyright and illegal, Ron. Whilst you may want to make one copy for your own use, somebody else might take the information to make hundreds of copies to sell.
Out of curiosity, back in the dark ages before computers and printers did you make hand written copies of books you bought so you could have an extra copy somewhere else?

Really, is there any need to be so facetious?
Don't know if it's any help Ron but there are programmes out there that convert DVD's for use on iPod. The iPod can then be hooked up to the tv and shown full screen that way.
There are also some films that are available for download direct from youTube. Just copy and paste the link into keepvid.com and download them in mp4 format.
Those I tend to transfer to a memory stick and play them via the USB in my xBox, one or two I'm saving to transfer onto the Pod to watch on the plane when I go on hold. Just a suggestion.

Copy protection of DVDs is quite sophisticated/esoteric – I have a DVD player and separate DVD recorder, but with the two connected via a SCART cable, I cannot copy copyrighted DVDs.
I suspect that if I had an rf out on the DVD player, the recorder would not receive the copyrighted signal which is preventing copying.
But I am somewhat surprised that someone has not developed a software program that will ‘rip’ any digital disk content and allow a copy to be burnt (even if the disk is say PS2/x-box being ripped on a PC).
