What hardware or software do I need in my computer to copy DVDs?

Answer 1

DVD are copyrighted material so you will need an illegal program called a ripper.... good luck and dont get caught.... also why you are at it read copyright laws and I garentee you that you will not copy one DVD....

Answer 2

You already got the answer for the hardware. For software you need a 'DVD ripper' to encode and copy the copyright protected files and because most DVDs come in double layered discs (allowing more than 4.7 GB of storage), you will need a software that shrinks the files so that they fit in a single layer disc. Some rippers offer both copy and compress functions. There are plenty of options at download.com

Answer 3

Firstly you will need a rewritable DVD drive (DVD Recorder) which will cost you not more than US$30 or US$40, usually software to burn DVD or copy DVD will come with the drive. Alternatively you may get the Nero burning ROM software which is one of the best, refer to http://www.nero.com/ for more info.

Copying copyrighted DVDs are illegal in most countries. However DVDs are also used for many other purposes such as data storage or simply for files transferring purposes, so merely copying DVDs are not necessary illegal.

As for disk media, you may get DVD+R which is write once (but multiple sessions, meaning you can keep writing into it until it is full, but you can not free the space you have already written on). You may also get DVD+RW which allows you to read and write any number of times (within its intended lifetime of course), that is including freeing up the storage that you have written on earlier.

You may also have seen disks called DVD-R and DVD-RW (with a dash symbol instead of plus symbol), these are slightly different than DVD+R and DVD+RW. DVD+R and DVD+RW are better for certain usage but for most people these are about the same, so I suggest you just go for DVD+R and DVD+RW.

The most common disk storage capacities are 4.7GB (single layer) or 8.5GB (dual layer), you will need the 8.5GB to copy a DVD9 disk and 4.7GB disk is sufficient to copy a DVD5 disk.

There are also software which allow you to strip away the extra feature of a DVD9 movies and cut down the storage requirement so that you can burn it into a 4.7GB disk.

Please make sure you check the laws of your countries to make sure what you are doing is legal.

Answer 4

You need a DVD RW hardware and Nero Burn 6+ software

Answer 5

You need a DVD Burner and a software that will rip and burn to another disks. You can burn any DVD disks as long as you do not re-distribute or sell it. You can only use it for your own personal use. Regular DVD burning software that you get at a store will not copy copyrighted DVD movies. For that you will need CloneDVD and AnyDVD software. Use the following link for more information...

Oh yeah, Nero is good, but it does not burn copyrighted dvd's--that pretty much makes your dvd burner useless. So I would go with CloneDVD with AnyDVD (decoder).
