Hey. I am trying to figure out how to make a copy of a non-copywrite protected DVD using my PC. Do I need any special software or anything? Thanks, Jason

If it is just a data disk the software that came with your drive should do the trick

That is all greek to me. I dont know what a data disc or a drive are. I thought that I could just pop it in and media player would give me the option to rip it but it didnt

are you wanting to watch it on your computer or copy it to another disc?

I want to just put it on another disc

i assume you have a dvd burner? just put the disc in the computer and open it up. inside there will the two folders one labled VIDEO_TS and the other AUDIO_TS or something similar. there might only be one . . . it's really depends on the disc. grab both of those folders and pull them to your desktop. when that is done simply burn them to another disc.

Sounds simple enough. Thanks for taking time to help me out!
