How do I burn movies to a DVD-R?

Answer 1

It is not illegal to make a back-up copy if you already own the DVD (and thus the rights). so feel free to write your local company and tell them to give you back your consumer rights.

Answer 2

On most computers with a DVD RW drive, there will be a programme for burning DVDs. On my computer, it is Sonic Digital Media projects.


You can just start up the programme, and follow the on-screen instructions. However, you must note that most DVDs are write-protected, and thus cannot be burned. If it is write-protected, it will be written (in very small font) on the back of the case. Nonetheless, it does not hurt you to try: if it cannot be done, then the programme will tell you.

In short, what you need is a computer with a DVD RW drive, and a programme for copying and recording media that generally comes standard with such computers.

Answer 3

I am sure you know this is illegal, so I won't bring up morals and ethics.

Use a program like DVD Shrink, Any DVD or DVD Decrypter to break the copyright encryption on the DVD. These programs will copy the DVD files to your hard drive. Then, you can use a normal DVD burning program like Nero.

It's so easy, it's almost embarassing to call it "copyright protection".
