Does anyone know a simple way of making a copy of a DVD at home?

legall or illegal DVD's?

Legal. It's a DVD I made some time ago with home movies on it. I copied it from my camcorder tape using a DVD player which also records. But it was complicated and very time-consuming. I just wondered if there's a simple, quick way of making extra copies of the DVD?

It can can only go as quick as your DVD burner allows.. have you got a copy of the DVD on your P.C?

Assuming you have a DVD writer on your PC, the fastest way will be to get something like Nero or Alcahol 120% and rip an image of the DVD, and then burn off the image to other DVD's - this will take anywhere between 3 and 25 minutes dependent on the speed of the PC, the writer and the software being used.

This is assuming of course, the DVD's are as you say they are, not illegal, and you have not enabled copy protection in the DVD recorder settings; if either of these scenario's are true, there will be added steps to take, to get around the copy protection.

A television DVD Recorder will only record the source it see's, and can only do this at 1x speed, which is why it is so slow - there is no way to speed this up.

I use the free prog of DVD Decrypter (which also bypasses the protection) then Nero to burn to DVD.

Shimples!

Legal shmegal!!

Whats (Alcahol 120%) like, any good????

Its the bizness for ripping and mounting, ive used it for about 7 years now - all but negates the need for a CD-Rom drive. Well worth it mate, just get a warez version lol.

Nice one bud Will give it a go, i have used Nero for years Time for a change.
