How do you copy a DVD to pc?

RaiderHammer

Hi I was wondering if someone can help. I have a DVD of a wedding that I would like to copy. I can play the DVD on my pc but can’t copy it unless I am doing something wrong!!! Very possible lol.
I am opening the drive in my computer with the DVD in the drive and selecting copy and then trying to paste to another folder on my pc’s drive. But it won’t copy for some reason.
Any help much appreciated.

Check to see the capacity of the original DVD - it might be dual layer (DL) 8.5Gb. If your blank DVD is only a standard 4.7 Gb, the copy will fail. There are lots of programs which will shrink a DVD down to size, although quality has to be reduced to do this. A DVD decrypter will only be needed if the wedding DVD has been commercially produced and copy protection has been added.
