how do i copy dvds?
You cannot copy a DVD like a floppy. You must first rip (remove copy protection and copy to HD) the DVD with a program like SmartRipper or DVD-Decryptor. Then you need to determine if the DVD is a single or dual layered DVD. If it's a single layered, you can copy the ripped files directly with any burning software to DVD±R/RW. If it's a dual layered DVD (up to 9.4 GB of data) it obviously won't fit on a 4.7GB DVD±R/RW. Goto http://www.doom9.org/ and/or http://www.dvdrhelp.com/ to learn more about copying dual-layered movies. There are many options but sacrifices must be made such as: removing audio tracks, subtitles, remove extras, shrink video, etc.
