I have a VHS/DVD recorder. If I buy a movie from Blockbuster it will not let me make copies for my family. Is?

Thats because it is illegal to reproduce copyrighted material, you computer knows this. There is software you can find to decrypt the video, but how about just participating in the free market, and buy movies the legal way, freeloader.

the makers of DVDxCopy are out of business because of the MPAA. \n\nThere are forums and sites for support but the company is gone so official support is nowhere to be found.

The law is contradictory on the point.  On the one hand, fair use legislation allows it.  On the other hand, the DMCA legislation prohibits defeating copy protection.  The courts have been leaning in favor of the movie studios, but the issue is not fully settled.

Well now, a gray line to walk.\n\nYou wouldn't be selling a copy of a DVD, you'd be selling your time and effort to make an archival copy for them.\n\nI've seen disclaimers saying that said person owns an original copy of said DVD and that this is just for archival purposes.\n\nPerhaps you should do a web search and see if there are any cases or precedences out there in the UK that pertain.

I don't think you can, not leagaly anyway. Why would want to, it's huge and you can have the DVD (incase something goes wrong) for less than $200.

well, i don't know about that specifically, but i know i can get near DVD movie quality with about an hour of video. DVD movies are very high quality though, so yea. if you can copy 4 hours and leave the quality high then have at thee!

The owner of the copyright decides what royalties it demands. However, I highly doubt that if you contact someone at MGM they are going to negotiate an arrangement with you to download movies on the internet. Are you trying to establish some sort of business?

This requires too much equipment to do yourself unless you plan on doing A LOT of it.  The first part is the digital transfer (the hard part) and the second is the DVD authoring (which is pretty easy to do with software now).\n\nYou want to look for a company that specializes in digital transfer.  Some specialize in only certain media (e.g., 16mm), but some will do more so check that they work in your film size.  What you want to watch out for is an unethical place that will keep your originals (so you have to come to them whenever you want copies).  Absolutely check any agreement you sign to make sure there's nothing allowing them to keep anything but a copy.  I know someone who had her home movies stolen this way.\n\nI've never done it myself, so I don't have recommendations, but you can check the links below to get a baseline for prices and services before you call people.

It depends on what kind of file(s) you recorded onto the DVD.  Go to Office Max or Compuware, they'll help you out.

Using a combo of programs (i.e. anydvd & DVD Clone or DVD shrink & nero) it is easy to make a "backup of your own property and/or DVDs” it is illegal to reproduce copyright material w/o permission\n\nthese are free programs or programs you can get for less then $30

I would try http://www.dvd-cloner.com cuz they have a CSS decryptor that will burn movies that are copyrighted.\n\nUse the evaluation version for now.\n\nI only give out the registration key code if I get the chosen as the best answer =)

No cause King Kong is Dvd-9 which has 9gb of data, Get dvd Shirnk to copy it to ure HDD and remove encryption and to compress the size to fit on a 4.7gb DVD. I cant tel you where to get it, but GOOGLE is a good friend in that matter. Also hope you are doing this as a backup since what your doing is illegal, and yahoo has your IP address so they track you down and make the FBI do the dirty work..hehe...hope you like 500,000 dollar fines and copyright infrigment on your record.

The industry is in the process of phasing out VHS.  Honestly, I haven't seen any tapes come into my store in over three months, but we still have some older, more popular new release movies that have VHS right next to the DVD.

Yes, you are legally allowed to make an archival (backup) copy of DVDs, CDs, software etc for your own use.\n\nIt only becomes illegal if you share those copies with anyone else, even if they are not paying you.\n\nThat said, many publishers of DVDs and software are making it very hard to make useable copies.  There is always a way, but it may be difficult.  Like the last answerer said, DVDShrink is probably the best for copying DVDs
