Thread: backing up an original dvd to a blank disc

does any one know what program is best for backing up dvds im struggling can any one help please

Nero

respect mate

Nero won't copy a protected disc.

Are you 'backing up' film dvds?

If so:

Anydvd (which runs in the background to remove encryption).
Clonedvd 2 (which reads the disc & then burns it to a blank disc).

Yeah I forgot to mention software like any DVD to have running in the background. However, I'm using Any DVD alongside Nero & it's very rare I come across a DVD that I can't copy

Does nero squish it to fit if the original file is bigger than 4.7gig?

No it doesn't! Fair point there billybob, when I have a film that's bigger than 4.7gig I use DVD Shrink

Think clone dvd does the same sort of thing as dvd shrink

DVD2One is also a good application!

That's what i use, great software in my opinion

I've used it back up 500+ of my genuine dvd's & only had a problem with the encryption on a couple, updated Anydvd & that problem was solved

DVD SHRINK thats all you need it copies at good rate. plus it rips through any copy protection even rented dvds from shop, it will also let u shrink any movies so you can get three/four movies on one dvd disk

forgot to tell you its free software
