looking for info on copying a personal DVD video

[Moraff]

Hey, a friend of mine asked me if I knew how to copy a DVD. Before the morality police jump on board, it's not a commercial DVD, it's a personal video that he has permission from the creator to copy. I believe you need to use some sort of program to do that and was wondering if anyone could recommend a reasonably decent freeware program.

Thanks muchly!

Are you on Windows or Mac?

are you trying to copy it from one dvd to another ?

if you are you can just rip it to the hard drive then grab a blank disc and re burn it. kind of basic.

Sorry, forgot to mention the platform - Windows. And the goal is to create a new DVD from the original.

Thanks for the advice so far. I didn't think it was complicated simon, just something I haven't done and when I did a quick search for DVD copying I got a plethora of different programs. So I figured I'd get some input from people who have done it.

hell even windows media player has a ripper built into it. basic programs like nero will be abble to rip it as well. then you got it saved to your p.c and you can just re burn it.
