3 Easy Steps to Using DVD Copy Freeware to Burn DVDs
Ever since 2002-2003, when the popularity of DVDs surged and outpaced VHS tapes, people have been building their movie collections. Although people have always collected movies, somehow the popularity of DVD media introduced more consumers to the idea of building a movie library. These people have invested thousands of dollars in growing their DVD collections.
Unfortunately, DVDs are readily prone to damage. They can be easily nicked and scratched, and if you couple this with a finicky player, you have problems. To top it all off they are also encrypted, making them difficult to copy, so you need something that will allow you to copy and burn your DVDs. Making backup copies for frequent use is a practical way to protect your DVD collection. The best part is, you don’t need expensive software to this. This can be done with DVD Copy Freeware.
There are 3 steps to using DVD Copy Freeware to Burn DVDs
They are:
1) Copying the DVD movie to the hard drive using free ripping software
-This will allow you copy a DVD movie to your hard drive.
2) Compressing the movie using free DVD video compression software
- Compression is basically the reduction in size of DVD contents so that they may fit on a standard 4.7GB DVD recordable. Most DVD movies along with all the extras are larger than 4.7GB, thus the need for compression, although it is not always required. It all depends on the size of the original contents and what components you choose to back up. Usually if you backup just the main movie, minimal to no compression is required.
3) Burning the movie to a blank DVD R using quality free DVD burning software
- DVD burning software allows the ripped DVD contents to be transferred from the hard drive to a blank DVD recordable, in such a way that it maintains and adheres to the standards that allow a DVD to be read by a standalone DVD player. This increases the compatibility of the burned DVD with DVD Players.
All this may sound complicated, but once you start using DVD copy freeware to copy and burn DVDs, it’s actually quite easy if you get the proper instructions, and becomes even easier if you’ve done it once or twice.
