There are many times when copying a DVD cannot be avoided in order to prevent the DVD from being scratched or damaged by accident. And it's also necessary to have a backup for important DVDs in case the originals are lost, broken or stolen.
In order to make the most of your time, the following article will show you a few tips to make your DVD copy fast and easy.
Tip 1. Install DVD Copy Software on Your Computer
First, you should buy or download certain DVD copy software or DVD rippers which are compatible with most DVDs. If your DVDs are commercial DVDs which are protected by DVD copy protection, you need to purchase DVD copy software that is capable of CSS decryption. In this case, if you are running Mac OS, you may need Any DVD Cloner, Any DVD Cloner Platinum or Tune4mac DVD Converter Pro.
Tip 2. Purchase Recordable DVD Discs
Yes, before start ripping DVDs, you must purchase some recordable discs to burn the DVD on to. But you should note that some older computers are only compatible with DVD R+ or DVD R-. So it's important to check which types of DVD discs work with your system.
Tip 3. Shrink Large Files with DVD Converter
Now you can begin copying DVD with all of your equipment you get. However, you may deal with some large files which are too large to burn onto DVD. In this case, you have to shrink or compress the large DVD files to MPEG format so as to burn them to recordable discs. So you may try Tune4mac DVD Converter to rip large DVD files to MPEG or MP4, AVI and other formats.
Tip 4. Get Your DVD Movies onto Recordable DVD
After a DVD is ripped, most DVD copy software will ask you to insert a blank disc. Once you insert the recordable DVD, hit the Burn button and your DVD will start recording or burning to the blank disc. This may take a few minutes or hours, depending on the size of the files. Once your video has been burned, you may test it in your DVD or CD player to see whether it works. Any DVD Cloner Platinum for Mac is highly recommended to finish the job for you.
