Let’s look a few reason why you need to copy a DVD.  The main reason, DVDs are easily scratched or damaged, thereby rendering the underlying content useless. Today, you can get large hard disk space cheaply.  And with more and more people serving audio content, photo slide shows, and home movies via a Media Center PC or media server, those people are wanting more and more to set up movie jukeboxes. Most PCs can utilize only one or two DVD drives which means only one or two movies at a time. This is inconvenient.

Backing up DVDs has its downsides. You must understand that a digital copy of a DVD can never replace a physical DVD. You shouldn’t sell a DVD after you’ve copied it, and you certainly shouldn’t copy rented DVD movies. Also, most copied DVD movies result in files that are quite large, occupying several gigabytes of storage if copied at full quality. Finally, copying DVD movies is quite time-consuming. Unlike audio CDs, which you can often copy in seconds, DVD movies can require a few hours to copy. This isn’t a task for people who want instant results.

So, how do you copy DVD movies? In the past, I’ve used free programs such as DVD Decrypter, which can “rip” the contents of a DVD movie onto a hard disk. Then, I would use one of any number of programs to convert the ripped DVD into a more suitable format, such as MPEG-2, DivX/XVid, MPEG-4, or Windows Media Video (WMV). The problem with DVD Decrypter is that it requires you to go through the intermediate step of decrypting DVDs to disk. Another, perhaps more fatal problem is that DVD Decrypter’s author has stopped updating the program because of DMCA-based legal threats.

One of the best programs available at the moment is DVD neXt COPY Ultimate.  Although it’s a paid piece of software it is really worth the investment.  Click the link to find out more about this DVD copy software and why buying DVD copy software is your best option
