DVD copy software

meg00

Back in the day I had software to rip and burn DVD's so I could give the kids copies to watch, without the originals getting covered in jam and marmite.

The ones I used are now defunct.

Time has rolled on, and I want to give the grandkids copies to take to their caravan, so originals don't get covered in mashed avocado and hummus.

I just need a basic programme to copy dvd's only, no editing software required, that can be played on a 5 year old panasonic dvd player only.

Preferably something VERY simple to use, that won't reformat my whole PC, or install sneeky extras.

Preferably free, but I will pay if required.

Advice please?.

Meg.

When I used windows, I used imgburn.  It's very good

As above but not sure if it will copy DRM protected content .

Free trial used to allow five copies when I used it.

https://www.redfox.bz/en/clonedvd.html gives 21 days, though you may need AnyDVD in addition.

Time has rolled on. Do the grandkids know  what a dvd is?

MakeMKV will be a good start to getting the data off the dvd  - but its not a DVD copier

DVD Decrypter is what I still use from the days of Windows XP - it's free, works perfectly well with Windows 10, doesn't install anything else and it just works.  What more could you ask for?

Link to download page.

There are plenty of guides on how to use DVD Decrypter if you get stuck.

One of the best historical comparisons I've seen for a long time! 

Congrats!

BDlot DVD ISO Maker is what I use - can only rip the full disc so no removing menus etc, but is free
