A DVD spoils so quickly out of its box that having a copy becomes almost essential.

Yes, but how do you go about duplicating DVDs?

To copy a DVD, there are three steps: The first is to extract the files from the original DVD: menu, bonus, subtitles, languages ​​and, of course, the movie itself. The second is to resize the content of the DVD. In fact, the films use high-capacity double-layer DVDs (9 GB). While commercial DVDs are, in general, with a capacity of 4.4 GB. It will therefore be necessary to "compact" the files. And, probably, also delete a few.

That said, do you really need Australian dubbing of an American blockbuster, or Italian subtitles? You can also cut scenes. It is preferable to cut only the credits, however, you can choose to cut certain extracts in order to obtain a "soft" version of a film, which your children will be allowed to watch. Last step, burning DVDs. Where it is therefore necessary to have a burner with the DVD logo and a program to burn, type Nero. To successfully complete these three steps, all you need is the right DVD software. Dvd Shrink is the easiest to use. Dvd Fab HD Decrypter is more complete. Note that these software can be downloaded for free. With the CD and DVD Duplication Services in NSW this is important.

In practice

To rip a DVD, you just have to follow the instructions of these fairly general software. It is also necessary to have 10GB of available space on the hard drive where you plan to extract the original DVD. Finally, when burning, select a maximum speed of x 8. Indeed, a DVD burned too quickly will look successful, but may be unreadable by a living room DVD player. For step-by-step help, nothing beats a short video. You will find many videos on Youtube explaining how to replicate a DVD. But, we will advise you more particularly the page of the Tutorials-animes.com site dedicated to the subject (In the Video section, click on "Copy a DVD").
