Basic information on copying Dvd

Most new computers come configured with the hardware you will need to copy a DVD, hence getting to copy a DVD is no difficult if you have recently purchased a new computer. Hardware in a new computer includes: a DVD burner, adequate memory and hard drive space. If you have an older PC and it does not have a DVD burner installed, you need to have it installed. You may also purchase external DVD burners that could be plugged into your USB port or Firewire port.

Overview:

We have often seen people ask: Can't I just cut and paste files from the original DVD movie onto a blank DVD? But it just wouldn't work that way. This would work if the DVD were a data DVD which means, that the DVD contained regular files as word documents, photographs etc. However, motion DVDs like movies is encrypted. Thus you will need a special DVD copying software that understands how to break the code on a DVD movie, so that you can easily copy it into a blank DVD.

DVD copying software will perform these three processes when copying a DVD:

"Ripping - The DVD copying software will decrypt or extract data from the DVD and place the copy of that data in a temporary folder on your hard drive.

"Transcoding - The DVD copying software will thereafter take that decrypted DVD data and transform it into a format that can be burned onto a blank DVD.

"Writing - The DVD copying software will etch, burn and encode the transcoded data on to a blank DVD-R/ RW.

"The end result is a neat copy of the Original DVD.
