downloading dvds
 

I have been downloading from limewire for quite a while now and can download and burn very easily now. Now I am trying to make copies of movies I have but don't know how to get them to download onto my computer. I have a dvd burner and a cd burner. I use nero to burn but I don't seem to know how to do this. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Search the word dvd and burn on the forum. Use the blue search button above right.

I tried that they all talk about how to burn after downloading from site. I want to put a dvd into my burner and download it onto my computer. Like I own all the R*ck* movies. My husband watches the all the time so they get scratched and jump I want to make a copy but dont know how.

You want to make back-ups. Go here: http://www.videohelp.com/ &
http://forum.dvd-guides.com/ There's many a program that can do that for Windows. You need a program that deciphers the security coding on the disk, & copies it to your computer. If you have a dvd9 format burner then you can burn directly onto a dvd9 format dvd-r disk (ie: 8.5 GB) after having extracted the original to your computer. If you have a dvd-5 format burner (4.7 GB) then you'll need a 2nd utility that reduces the size down to fit onto a 4.7 GB disk. By the way that really means 4.37 GB in reality. They size dvd's in the same way they size hard disk drives. eg: A 60 GB hdd will only have about 57 GB available after formatting. Those sites above will give you multiple choices for each purpose.

If you were using a mac then I could suggest specific utilities to get a hold of.
I frequently back up movies onto dvd-rw to watch at a later time if I'm too busy to watch them immediately.
