How To Burn Copyrighted DVDs? Simple And Easy


Have you ever broken a new DVD or wanted to keep a back-up in case you loaned it to a friend and they never returned it? If you are like me, you've had this happen plenty of times and that is why I want to tell you how to burn copyrighted dvds and never worry about this again! Let's face it, those suckers are expensive enough as it is.


I've got several programs that I use to burn my CDs like most people, and wondered how easily I could do the same with DVDs. So, after a bit of research I found a few different programs and bought the best one I thought would work. And it did the job in no time. But there are a few things you should remember before purchasing a DVD burning program.
The biggest concern we have to keep in mind is that we aren't just burning regular dvds. These are copyrighted and typically aren't able to be copied. However, not all folks who want to make copies of their dvd movies are doing it to resell for a profit. Honest people like us just want to have a back-up in case it gets lost or stolen. So when you are shopping for a software program insure that is has the capability of burning copyrighted dvds.


Chances are these programs are going to cost some money. Think about it though, even if they cost up to $50 that will save you a lot of money in the long run! The last time I checked, a new release dvd was selling for at least $25-30. And I've loaned or broken plenty of dvds that would have made this software pay for itself really quick.


So how do I burn them already!


Once you've found a suitable burning software program, you will need blank disks to copy your dvd to. Most local electronics stores and even the grocery store have blank dvds. Don't go cheap on these though! You want a blank disk that has a very large capacity so your entire dvd can be burned to it and have the quality remain 100%. Once you've got these two items, it's as simple as 1-2-3. Place the disk in your writable drive, walk through the software program to make a temporary copy, and then insert the writable disk and let it make the duplicate copy, and BAM! You've got a backup of your precious copyrighted dvds!

What programs do you suggest using? I've been doing research ALL day. I am not very computer literate........so all of this is very foreign to me. It seems like you need one program to decode, one program to shrink & one program to burn. It seems very complicated. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
