DVD Burning

[Mookie4ever]

I just got a new computer and it has a DVD burner.

So today I bring in a few DVDs from home to make backups (kids DVDs b/c my son has wrecked a few of them) and Nero tells me that I can't make copies of them b/c they are all copyright protected or it just isn't able to copy them.

Is there any way around this and if not what is the use of a DVD burner?

There is a trial version here.

It basically saves the DVD onto your HD and shrinks it down to 4.8 or whatever GB. I can't remember the exact number. Then, you can burn the files that it saves on your HD, using Nero.

Or DVD Decrypter, but I think that one function in Nero allows you to "uncopyright" the disk...

i use the above mentioned stuff. tons of dvd help can be found at videohelp.com. all kinds of tutorials and links to the stuff you need to download, lots of it free.

DVD Decryptor lost a court case and was forced to shut down, so there will be no more updates...You might be able to find the program, but it won't update and I suggest not using that because the newer DVDs have better copyrights that Decryptor can't crack.

I suggest getting AnyDVD or any Slysoft brand DVD burning programs.
