3. General Principles for DVD to DVD Copy
Before we go into the DVD to DVD copy process, it’s important for us to learn clear the DVD to DVD
copy workflow under different conditions. Or in other words, what is the DVD to DVD copy process
with only one single disc drive and will the process be different when there’re 2 disc drives. By
making clear of these principles, you could get a general idea on how to copy DVD to DVD.
Have only 1 disc drive
If you have only one disc drive and would like to
copy DVD disc to another blank DVD disc, first
make sure your disc drive is recordable and
writable. The DVD to DVD copy workflow for 1
disc drive only computer is a little bit complicate:
you first need to create a disc image file of
source DVD disc, then burn the created disc
image file onto target blank DVD disc. ISO image
file is the most popular image file for DVD disc
backup.
Have 2 disc drives
It becomes relatively easy to copy DVD to DVD
with 2 disc drives installed on computer. Still, you
should firstly make sure at least one of these 2
disc drives is recordable and writable. You need
to: insert original DVD disc into one disc drive and
target blank DVD-R/DVD+R disc into the other
(disc recorder drive), and then make use of DVD
copy software to copy original DVD disc onto
target DVD disc directly.
4. Copy protected DVD disc
It should be noted that most DVD discs
are protected or region restricted. To copy
protected DVD discs, you firstly need to
get DVD copy software that could decrypt
DVD discs, remove disc protection and
region code. After disc protection
removed, the DVD to DVD copy process
becomes the same as the above
mentioned 2 ways.
Note:
Policies on copying protected DVD discs are different from countries to countries. Before you try to
copy DVD disc to another DVD disc or computer, make sure you’re not against the local laws. At the
same time, we should insist on having every right to get a copy of DVD discs we’ve already
purchased. This post aims to provide effective and easy to use solutions on copying DVD discs that
we’ve already owned for private use only, no encouragement on copying rent or borrowed DVD discs
with the purpose of commercial profit.
5. Copy non-encrypted DVD to DVD with One Drive
As mentioned above, with only 1 disc drive, you need firstly to make an image file of original DVD disc and then burn
the created image file onto target DVD disc. This procedure fits both protected and non-protected DVD disc backup.
But if the DVD discs you’re going to copy are not copy-protected, Windows offers you a DVD-copy-software-free
solution on Windows 8 and Windows 7.
Windows 8.1, 8 and 7 have an integrated DVD burning solution built in. Admittedly, it’s a rudimentary program, but it
quickly lets me copy DVD to DVD without confusion. The operation is also not difficult at all. Any person that has
original DVD disc, computer with DVD disc recorder drive, and blank DVD-R/DVD+R disc could easily carry out the
DVD to DVD copy process. The only requirement is that source DVD disc shouldn’t be copy-protected.
Copy DVD to DVD on Windows 8/8.1
1. Insert source DVD disc into the disc drive
and create a new folder on your computer
(anywhere that has enough space to store
the source DVD disc content). Then copy
all files from source DVD disc into the
newly created folder.
2.After copying, eject source DVD disc
and then insert blank DVD-
R/DVD+R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW disc into
disc drive. Windows AutoPlay feature
will detect it automatically. If it fails to do
auto detecting, open the computer icon
and then click the DVD drive in the left
pane under Computer.
3. Then copy created folder that
contains all files of source DVD
disc into the DVD disc drive. After
copying is complete, the whole
DVD to DVD copy on Windows 8
is finished.
6. Copy DVD to DVD on Windows 7
1. On Windows 7, after
inserting blank DVD disc,
the AutoPlay window is
different. Choose “Burn
files to disc” option.
2. On the popup “Burn to disc”
window, give a “Disc title” and
then choose “With a CD/DVD
Player” option to burn created
DVD folder to DVD.
3. After that, drag and drop your
files from your created DVD folder
into the DVD burning window that
shows desktop.ini for burning to
blank DVD disc.
Note:
Again, it should be noted that source DVD disc is not copy-protected. Otherwise you will not be able to
copy files from source DVD disc onto your computer.
It becomes even easier for you to adopt the above solution to copy DVD to DVD disc if your computer
has 2 DVD disc drive installed. You only need to copy files from original DVD disc to target blank DVD
disc.
7. Copy protected DVD to DVD with One Drive
Protected DVD discs prevent you from directly copying files from them. Hence, to copy protected DVD disc to another
blank DVD disc or computer, you need to use professional DVD copy software that gets disc decrypting ability to help you
remove disc protection and remove disc region code before you could copy DVD discs. To copy protected DVD to DVD
disc on computer, you need to prepare the following things:
1.Source DVD disc and target blank DVD-R/DVD+R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW disc;
2.Computer with DVD disc recorder drive and enough hard drive storage;
3.Leawo DVD Copy software to carry out the DVD to DVD copy process;
4.Internet connection.
Since you only get one DVD disc recorder drive, you need
to follow the “disc > image file > disc” copy procedure.
Check the below steps to learn how to copy DVD to DVD
with one drive.
Step 1: Add source DVD movies
Insert DVD disc into the drive and then launch Leawo DVD
Copy. Click the “Add Blu-ray/DVD” button to import source
DVD movies from disc drive.
8. Step 2: Set DVD copy mode
After importing source DVD movie, click the
drop-down box at the bottom left corner and
then select target DVD disc type (DVD-9 or
DVD-5) according to the blank DVD disc you
would like to copy source DVD movies to. After
that, select a copy mode from Full Movie, Main
Movie and Custom Mode.
Step 3: DVD backup settings
Click the big green “Copy” button. On the
popup sidebar, set “Copy to”, “Disc
Label” and “Save to” option. Since you
only get one disc drive, to copy DVD disc
to disc, choose “ISO File” option under
“Copy to” to create DVD ISO image file.
9. Step 4: Start copying DVD to ISO
image file
Click “Copy” button to start copying DVD to ISO
image file with Leawo DVD Copy.
Step 5: Add created ISO file
After copying, you could see created ISO file
on the directory you’ve set in “Save to” option.
Launch Leawo DVD Copy and then directly
drag and drop created ISO image file onto
Leawo DVD Copy (or click the drop-down
arrow box next to the “Add Blu-ray/DVD”
button and then select “Add iso file” to add
created ISO file.)
10. Step 6: ISO to disc settings and
burning
After dragging ISO file, on the popup “Add iso
file” window, you could set Copy to and Disc
Label options. Insert target blank DVD disc into
disc recorder drive and the program would
automatically set it as target under “Copy to”
option. Finally, click the “Burn” button to start
burning ISO file to DVD disc.
Note:
If you get 2 DVD disc drives, you could directly insert blank DVD disc into the other disc drive and then
set it as output under “Copy to” option in Step 3.
The Step 5 and Step 6 are not applicable to people who get 2 disc drives.
To copy DVD-9 to DVD-5, you only need to insert DVD-9 disc into the disc drive and then select “DVD-5”
as output disc type in Step 2.
