What You Should Know about Copying a DVD?
First, please understand that copying a commercial DVD may be illegal, depending on what country you live in and what you do with the copy. Copying video for your own personal use may be legal, but making copies of copyrighted discs for friends is not.
Second, be aware that almost all DVD movies are protected from casual copying. However, any protection measure is usually broken.
Third, realize that many movies come on dual-layer discs (DVD-9s), which can only be directly copied on a dual-layer recordable drive. Some copying software can recompress the video to fit on a single-layer recordable DVD, but the picture quality will suffer.
Fourth, understand that simply copying the computer files from a DVD to a recordable DVD often produces a disc that won't play in a set-top DVD player, since the files have to go in specific order and specific places on the disc. Some DVD writing software recognizes the files and places them correctly, but other software doesn't. In other words, you can't just copy the .IFO and .VOB files.
If you have a legitimate need to copy a DVD, such as a disc you made yourself, you can use the Pavtube DVD Copy to copy the DVD. This program can copy entire discs using a single recordable DVD drive and you can also extract video and audio from a disc, which you can then use to make a new disc.
