Copying a DVD to a hard drive
Is it possible, and if so, what's a good program, to copy a video DVD, or
actually parts of one, to a hard drive, so that the video can be watched without having to put the DVD disk in the drive? I have some music instructional videos I'd like to be able to watch on the computer, and be able to jump back and forth to different lessons without having to stop and keep changing disks. These are commercially bought DVD's that I own. I'm using Windows 7 Professional. Thanks. |

Now you'll have to remember to which other newsgroups you multi-posted and go check each of them for replies instead of maintaining the discussion within a single cross-posted thread.

The freeware versiojn can be found at: http://www.bestfreewaredownload.com/...-vbilitzm.html An average 2 hour movie converts down to 1.1GB (average). Once the file is an AVI file, it can be edited with an application like VirtualDub which is handy when creating training videos where you want to splice together scenes from multiple DVDs. If I need to burn a new copy of the disk, I use DVDFlck which will create a DVD5 disk that will read on a standard DVD player.
