How do I Copy a DVD?
Copying the contents of a DVD such as a movie, music album, or data can be done very rapidly. Copying contents of a data DVD is the easiest as you just have to copy and paste as you normally do with files, but copying original audio or video DVDs when they are protected by a security algorithm can be a little more complicated. There is a solution for this too.
DVD Copying Programs Available
There is a lot of software available that can easily copy the contents of the DVD (regardless of format) at a click of a button. Most of this software is shareware which means you can use it free only for a limited period of time - then you will have to pay for it. This software can automatically remove any security on the DVD and let you copy DVD movies either to your computer or to another DVD.
DVD's Can Be Shrunk
Since DVDs can store a lot of information (a normal DVD can store about 4GB amount of information), there are special pieces of software which help to compress the data on the DVD so that copying the contents of the DVD is both faster and easier. Pavtube DVD Copy is an example of such software. You can simply put the movie DVD in your DVD ROM and then click on the copy entire disc option or copy only movie option. The software will start analyzing the required DVD-encoded video files and then burn an exact copy onto the blank DVD.
Other Settings
The compression ratio in the software should be set at a decent rate so that the video quality of the copied DVD is good - you can remove the original title of the DVD and substitute it with an image etc. if space becomes an issue. You can also backup or copy the contents of a dual layer DVD to a single layer DVD using the powerful compression utility of the software and run analyses of the original DVD. There are different compression settings to choose from also - remember that the maximum compression setting will take more time than a normal compression setting, but will yield better final results.
What You Can Copy
As mentioned before, you can copy the entire contents of the DVD including the title, sub titles etc., or you can choose to copy the main movie only without the menu and title.
Compressing and Copying
When you start compressing and copying the contents of the DVD a progress bar will show how much of the content has been compressed and copied and also time remaining for the task to be completed. There are four types of compression to choose from - no compression, automatic compression, custom ratio (where you can enter the percentage of compression), and slideshow (which works with still pictures and sound playing in the background). You can then specify the image recorder like Nero which will get the DVD burnt. Most of the software used for copying DVDs doesn't need much space for installation.
