How to Burn a Commercial DVD!

The most frequent question I get asked is, "how would I back up my DVD I bought from the store?" After a long time of keeping it a secret, I will tell you, but first there are some more frequently asked questions about it. One is, "Is it Illegal? The answer is... It depends. If you own the DVD and you want to make a backup copy of it so nothing happens to it, that's fine under the copyright laws. But if you rent and burn them or download them from the internet (which I don't support or acknowledge), then you are violating copyright laws. Another question is, "Is it illegal to have the software in your possession?" The answer is no. It's not illegal because it can also burn homemade DVD's and it is up to the user to decide their fate. Now that all the questions are answered, it's time to learn to burn!

Downloading
Before you can start copping, you will need to have software. The product used in this tutorial is available at http://slysoft.com/. The software you will need is AnyDVD and CloneDVD2. There is a free demo that works perfectly, except it only works for 21 days. AnyDVD is for removing special code that makes it hard for you to copy the DVD. You cannot burn a DVD without this software! (Or others like it) CloneDVD2 is for transferring the data onto a disc and the actual burning. This is not completely necessary, but the two work together. If you can only afford one, you should get AnyDVD and use a regular DVD burning software instead of CloneDVD2. Download, install, and your ready to go!
