Copying DVD Question

So i was wondering about this question involving DVDs....I know you can put old video tapes and what not onto a DVD

but is it possible to copy a movie DVD onto your computer and then put it onto a DVD...im not talking about downloading a torrent movie but like buying a moive from best buy and then copying it on a blank DVD

if so what kind of programs or software would i need

Well my friend that would be highly illegal besides most, if not all retail DVDs are copy protected and are dual layer DVDs to boot. You'd have to get software that breaks the CP and buy dual layer blanks.

IMO it's not worth the hassle and again it's illegal.

To do specifically what he is asking is not illegal...you have a right to create a backup of your own personal copy. I make copies of all my kids DVD's, my daughter would have destroyed half of her disks by now if I allowed her to use them instead of a copy, plus losing one on vacation is no big deal.

To the OP...just go to doom9.org, you will find all you need to know there about how to make your own backups, your own movies...etc.
