Re: Copying DVDs
you would need a dvd burner, if you wanted to copy a dvd onto another dvd disc, but if you mean copy to your hard drive, then you would need a ripper program, (to 'rip' the content to your drive) and then a decoder program, (DCSS) to be able to view them...
just do a search on google for 'dvd rippers'
enjoy,

And..
..see The Basics
Afaik, you?re legally entitled to make ONE back up copy of any DVD you own, as long as it?s not sold or hired etc.

Re: Copying DVDs
It is not legal to copy DVD's under any circumstances if it is copyrighted. It is legal to make a back-up of computer software but not multimedia. If the DVD is copywrited then you only own a copy of the DVD not the right to copy the DVD.Otherwise you could buy a DVD, copy it and sell the original on and I am sure the producers and distributers would be absolutley delighted in all the lost revenue.

Re: Copying DVDs
I realise that isn't what u probably had in mind but....
If u have own-produced material for commercial release......
Phil McCavity's Devlinmedia (see links) offer duplication for
suitably large quantites - from ,and to, all types of format.

Re: Copying DVDs
That?s not correct Peg. I don?t know whether the laws are any different for computer software, but I?m stating copyright laws applied to DVD FILM. As long as it?s the original purchaser/owner, ONE copy, and for personal backup/use only, it?s legal. It only becomes illegal if they try to sell/hire that copy, or make multiple copies.

Yes, as I understand, it?s legal. You can sell the ORIGINAL and retain the copy, as long as you don?t sell/hire the COPY. With VHS, you end up with a copy with significantly degraded quality, so less likley the ownwer would bother. But with DVD copies, there?s no degrade in quality. Maybe the law needs changing.

Re: Copying DVDs
Read the back of any DVD purchased on the High Street and it states that it is against the law to copy it. It does not say it is against the law to copy it more than once.
