Backing up DVDs

[S1R SS]

Hi, this is my first post, so go easy on me if I ask stupid questions!!

Im looking to basically copy DVDs exactly so I can keep the originals in the box and not scratch them (because Im VERY careless!!).

However, some DVDs say they are 'Protected'.

I use Easy Media Creator 7.

How can I back them up??

Thanks

Steve

Thanks mate, this the first forum Ive ever been on.

As far as I can work out, I need DVD Decrypter, but the link on this site says it is unauthorised??

Eh? If you mean you're getting some error message when you download the file you either need to tell your download manager to send a referrer for doom9.org or have to save it from your browser...

Or you go to http://www.dvddecrypter.com/ and download it from there...

Probably you need to backup to DVD-R wich is limited to 4.7 GB. So you need a software like DVD Shrink (http://www.dvdshrink.org/where.html) to perform this task. It´s free!!!

There also DVDXCopy (http://www.sofotex.com/DVD-X-Copy-download_L12612.html). This one allows you to maintain original bitrate and breaks your dual layer Disc in 2 DVD-R Discs.

Hope it helps.
