How to copy a DVD

ThisTutorial is to show you how to copy a Commercial DVD to a standard 4.7DVD RW. The first thing you need to do is get these programs:

Smart ripper
Dvd2one
Nero
Nero DVD plug-in
WinDVD or Power DVD

The Process

Find space on your Hard drives ready for the ripping, because it willtake up lots of space. I have set up 2 main folders 1 called CDcopy and1 called DVDcopy, in the DVDcopy folder I set up 2 other folders calledAUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS the rest will be explained in this short tutorial.

Install the Nero DVD plug-in

First put the movie you want to copy in your DVD rom.

Start WinDVD/Power DVD to play your movie.

Start Smart ripper, let this detect the protection on the movie afterwhich it will pop up another screen which will show you the vobs andother files to rip, all you need to do is select the destination, the“CDcopy” folder, smart ripper will now do the rest. This will takeabout 10 mins with a good PC set up.

After smart ripper has done his business start DVD2one, get past allthe start and next screens until you get to the main part with sourceand destination. Select the source tab and find the folder “CDcopy”with the files created by smart ripper. Then select the destination taband select the “VIDEO_TS” folder in the “DVDcopy” folder. Then pressnext. This should take about 10 mins depending on the speed of your PC.

Start Nero Express, select “DVD Movie” tab (this will show if the DVDplug-in is installed), select “add file” and go to the “DVDcopy”folder, select both folders “AUDIO_TS” and “VIDEO_TS” then pressfinished. Now press next to go to the burning process screen, put thename of the movie in, and un tick the two boxes under the speedsettings. Then burn. This will now depend on the speed of the DVD RWand the media.

Once this has done you will have a copy of the movie on one DVD.

This does work....and very well.
