DVDShrink is a good, FREE program that will copy and burn a commercial DVD.

DVD-Decryptor, a free program, (check spelling of decryptor) works on everything, I have made back ups to many of my movies from Lord of the rings to Finding Nemo. It will strip the copyright protection, put it to a file, then you use DVD-Shrink to compress it to another file, then use a Dvd Disc to Disc copy program to burn it. It works better than Platinum Dvd X-Copy, which I also have. Use google to find the homepages. Both these programs are free (Not X-copy).

i can access his computer but the reverse is not possible
we have windows xp installed
error ehich comes is : u may have permission to

Hi,
Can I make a copy of my dvd which i orignaly created in DVD+RW to DVD-RW let me know as I have runied already 5 balnks of my dvd's thanks.

I am planning to purchase a dvd recorder to put years of vhs home movies onto dvd's. Is there an easy way to make multiple copies of the dvd's that I make? The recorders I've looked at can only do it in real time "takes as long to record as it takes to play" - - even expensive recorders with hard drives take 15 to 20 minutes to copy a dvd? Looking for fast and inexpensive solution so I can give copies to family memebers etc. Thanks for advice.

I bought a IOMagic DVD burner that came with Nero software. It won't allow me to copy a 5 minute video from a DVD-R to DVD+R, insisting that I copy it onto a DVD-R. I call the tech support, they told me 4 different reasons, none of which helped.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,

I'm using Backup Platinum to make backups on DVDs.
