Apart from the format of DVD you also need to consider the fact that making copies or back ups of your DVDs is usually illegal (see our disclaimer) and the other important fact that the DVD movies are encrypted so you don't have a option to rip them to your computers hard drive the way you do when you insert a CD.

Why? Because when technology companies that created the DVDs sold you out to the Hollywood studios, people who hold the rights to movies on the DVDs. The technology companies let Hollywood studios hold its content hostage so that they could control who gets to build players and what those players can do. The techies were totally biased to Hollywood studios advocating laws and restrictions that serve the studios first and consumers second. Further more, the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, bans providing information or software tools to evade copy-control technology and banning the use of Contents Scramble System (CSS) that's used on DVD media.

The last thing you need to know about copying DVDs is the actual size of the data that DVDs can store. The maximum amount of data that a DVD-recordable disc can hold is 4.4 GB (DVD5) while the amount of data in the original DVD movie is about 9 GB (DVD9). There is a difference between the two and DVD-recorders, as of yet, do not support DVD9 discs and can only record to the smaller DVD5 discs. So you need good enough software that can fit 9GB double layer DVD movies into 4.7GB single layer DVD disc without any loss of movie quality. The software either has to compress the movie so that it fits on the DVD-Recordable disc or allows you to edit / remove the parts such as the menu, sub-titles and other sections that you might not need.

Having said that in this part of the article Burning DVD movies explained we are going to list and take a look at some of the software packages that are available today with which you can copy your DVD movies. The software we recommend is listed on reviews section.
