You cannot copy a DVD without a DVD ROM. Either you can take your HDD and attach it to a system that has a DVD rom and copy the DVD files from there, or borrow a DVD ROM for sometime\n\nInstall PowerDVD on your system. Then copy the .ifo (probably in Video_TS folder on the DVD) files from the DVD on to your computer. Now open these files in PowerDVD and you can watch the DVDs, but the added feature like subtitles and language selection will not be available. \nYou can also use Media Player after you have installed PowerDVD as it installs the necessary codecs for WMP to use. Don't know about Real Player.

The previously mentioned codecs may help you view DVDs, but nothing will work better than an upgrade to Windows Media Player 10, which plays DVDs just fine.\n\nhttp://www.windowsmedia.com\n\nClick on the free player download link.

.avi files is very close to dvd quality\nLike DVDs, AVI files support multiple audio and video streams\nYou'll need divX to view .avi files\nhttp://divx.com/\n\n.mpg .mpeg files can be played with windows media player\n.mov files you'll need quiktime player\n\nFor burning software you can try BurnRight CD & DVD\nhttp://www.download.com/BurnRight-CD-DVD/3000-2646_4-10594282.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nBurnRight is recomended because it's free, work perfectly well as i'm using it for over a year and burn over hundred cd, and it need only 687.76KB to download and install

I would think you should be able to "rip" it to an MPEG file and then build a DVD using that MPEG file...\n\nThere are free and shareware programs available online to do that and other things...\n\nEnder

You can use Nero to 'burn the image file to disc' (its in the copy and backup section). From there, it should work on your DVD player

Avoid realplayer - it's spyware.  \nBeaten into second place in pcworld.com's \nThe 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time \nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20060526/tc_pcworld/125772\n\nTry media player classic (link below) - it even plays .rm files

It is entirely possible to play an .ISO file of a DVD on a computer.  One free program to do so is called "Video LAN", and is available for download at:\nhttp://www.videolan.org/

Yes, but you can't put them onto DVDs. You can get a program which will take the image of the DVD, called Alcohol 120%\nIt copies the DVD, then will make a "virtual drive", basically tricking the computer into thinking it has another drive, which the program will then play the DVD on. It works just like a real DVD, but you don't need a physical copy of it. It'll do the same thing with CDs.

You probably can't.  DVD players are not computers, so they can not run software or data files.  They can play movies in mpg format and maybe some audio files (wav and maybe mp3) and that is it.  DVD players cannot run any other type of presentations, etc.  Unless the presentation software you are using as a method to convert the presentation into an mpg movie file, you cannot play it from a DVD player.

The easiest program I found to use is called NeroVision , you put any media file into it, it will make a playable DVD for you. So simple!

You need to get a burning software like Nero or CloneDVD to burn that to a DVD so you can watch it on any DVD player.\n\n\nUpdated:\nIf you have Nero, then use Nero's Burn a DVD Video feature and drag those files and folders exactly as is into the program.  Read the instruction for more details.

If there is already a built in DVD drive, you only need an appropiate Player to play DVDs. I would suggest the Real Player, you can get it for free from http://www.real.com\n\nYou can see what type of CD/DVD you have. Right click on My Computer / Properties / Hardware / Device Manager / click on the + sign beside DVD/CD-Rom Drive and it will show up.
