Answer 1

You will need a dvd decrypter, maybe still be able to get a free download off internet, have to search for one. Then you will need software to burn dvd something like movie clone.

Answer 2

Here are the tools I use to copy DVDS for my own personal back ups. I know some folks do not trust some sites due to all the junk spyware out there and virus stuff. But look at my answer history, you will see that I can be trusted. D/load the free protection I recomend. I trust the programs I mention below and use them. I also believe in try before you buy.

These 2 programs are great, 21 day free trial, and I have them both. AnyDVD and CloneDVD they will take off encryption and protection.

Answer 3

I use DVDFab Platinum. It will rip the DVD, give you options (like to dump extra languages, subtitles, extra material like trailers), it will compress a DVD-9 into a DVD-5 so you don't have to use a dual-layer disc.

It has worked flawlessly for me.

I usually burn the resulting image using Nero or CloneDVD.

Now, since your son is in Scotland, he would be using the PAL system. A lot of PAL DVD players won't play NTSC discs (and vice versa). Now there is a way to convert, but it's quite involved. Should you need to convert, go to this site http://www.videohelp.com do a search there, and read some of the guides and forum posts on this subject.

Answer 4

You need a ripper program or copy protection decoder

But of course we are all law abiding and know that giving away a copy to anyone is illegal.

However if you only want a backup for your own use to preserve the original --- then look up Slysoft on the internet

Answer 5

Download the trial version of Nero 7 and do it using that -

Answer 7

copy the dvd to your hard drive first and then burn it onto a dsc from there.

Answer 8

you need a decryption program like dvd decrypt.

Answer 9

This is called piracy and it is illegal.
