Nero with Nero Vision will do it. You can get the Nero 7 Premium for fairly cheap online.  It will make MPEG files for your computer and/or burn them onto DVD

Apparently you have a DVD burner. If you also have a DVD player besides the DVD burner you can put the one that plays in the DVD player in comptuer and put a blank DVD disk in the DVD burner and use Nero (seems to work very well) and choose the option of copy entire disk. This should work for you..If you don't have a DVD player in the computer you can pick up a DVD/CDrw @ walmart (lite-on brand) for around 30-40 bucks....Thanks

First of all you need a DVD reader to do that,\n\nif you  have one, you copy and paste thats all.

Can I copy them?  Yes.\nIf they are already pirated the copy protection is probably already removed.\nMost any dvd burner in a computer can do it with the proper software.\nIt is generally illegal to copy dvd's.

Copying Movies can be a slightly complicated process if you're not familiar with the programs used to do it. However, once you're accustomed to using the software, it's much easier.\n\nSo here's how to get started:\n\nBurning DVDs with DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, and Nero.\n\nBefore you start, you’ll need to have the following programs installed on your computer:\n\nDVD Decrypter\nhttp://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ \n\nDVD Shrink\nhttp://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/ \n\nNero (version 6.3 or higher recommended, which you can download from oldversion.com)\nhttp://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=nero \n\nserial number for Nero 6.3\nhttp://computer-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/05/nero-63.html \n\n\n(Note: DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink are free online.)\n\n(Note: Always try to use a new, unscratched DVD movie disc whenever making copies, as discs in poor condition may not copy, or will likely pass on glitches to the copy.)\n\nIt’s also recommended that you don’t run other programs while burning DVDs unless you have over 1GB of RAM or more.\n\nInsert the disc you wish to copy.\n\nClose any DVD player program that opens.\n\nPhase 1\n\nOpen DVD Decrypter.\n\nClick on Mode > ISO > Read\n\nNow click on the folder icon that shows where the DVD file will be saved. Choose a folder.\n\nNow click on File > Decrypt.\n\nThe process of making an exact copy of the disc to the hard drive should take approx. 30-40min. depending on the length of the movie and extra features.\n\nWhen DVD Decrypter is finished creating the file, you can close the program and eject the disc.\n\nPhase 2\n\nNow open DVD Shrink.\n\nClick on File > Open Disc Image\n\nBrowse for the file that you saved when copying with DVD Decrypter.\n\nDVD Shrink will now analyze the movie for a minute or two.\n\nUncheck boxes for extra audio Languages that you don't need on the DVD\n\nClick on the plus + sign by the Extras folder.\n(This is where the bonus materials are on the disc)\n\nTo have higher movie quality, remove the extras by clicking on the individual files and selecting Still image/still images from the dropdown menu. (You can preview the extras if you want to see the clips before removing them.)\n\nIf you'd like to keep the extra features on the DVD, select the clip and change the dropdown menu to custom compression and lower it to about 50 or 60 percent for each extra.\n\nClick on the main movie folder. If you've removed enough extras, or compressed them, the movie quality should be around 60-70%, the HIGHER THE BETTER.\n\nNote: Target quality is about 65-70%, anything higher than 65%, and on regular size\nTV's you won't be able to tell the difference between the copy and the original.\n\nI personally either remove the extras or compress them to achieve the best quality.\n\nIf a movie is not too much over two hours, or doesn't have many extras, it will copy\ncloser to 100% quality.\n\nWhen you’ve achieved the quality setting on the main movie that you’d like, click on the Backup! icon.\n\nInsert a blank DVD disc.\n\nBefore clicking OK to start the burning, click on the Burn Settings tab and change the speed to 1 or 2 speeds lower than the highest available.\n\nDVD Shrink will now compress the file that DVD Decrypter made and create DVD video files. Afterwards, it will automatically burn those files and the disc will be completed.\n\nThis will take about 20-30 min. to create the DVD video files and approx. 10-15 min. to burn onto the blank disc.

First off (and since you have played DVD's on your computer) you need a DVD player and/or burner.  Secondly, you need a computer program to crack the security on the DVD that keeps it from being able to be downloaded onto a computer - which is an illegal program, so at that point you are on your own (I don't believe in making copies without a copyright).

Try using Microsoft Movie Maker that comes with Windows XP. Inserting the DVD into your drive, you'll go into the program, and click import video and choose the destination. The program will read and archive the file into segments which you can move, edit, add text, and so on. After you're finished editing, save the file as an MPEG and upload it to the website. Work with the program. It's user friendly, free, and turns out well. For example, check out the video section on my website. All done with Microsoft Movie Maker. While you're there, visit my sponsors and check out the cool stuff I have for sale.

You could try just playing them from a DVD player and recording them onto (S)VHS and then dubbing that to DV. After that, a simple import into your computer, and...\n\nIf you're just doing a simple compliation reel, both Microsoft and Apple have video editing (simple - cuts-only) stuff which is either available free from their website, or might already be installed on your computer.\n\nBarring that - you might want to try some of the Adobe software, or check some "bonus" CDs which you may get with a sound card, video card, DVD player, external hard drive... (these guys frequently come with el-cheapo video editing systems... they're cheasy, but easy to use, and, like I said - free!)\n\nHope that helps!

First, I should say (so as not to get into any trouble), that i recommend you to actuall buy the movie, if you like it.  Or it you downloaded it because you already own it then thats ok\n\nAnyways, use a program like easy cd creater, or Nero (recommended) to brun it.  The thing you need to look for, is when the program boots up a wizrd might show up.  You need to tell it that you want to "burn a dvd movie" and when it asks you for the source files, if you have everything installed prperly, it should encode the movie automatically.  Good luck

The correct answer is sometimes.  You ALSO require a DVD burner and software.\n\nSome movies will copy directly disc to disc, and some will not.  This depends, in part, on your burner software.  Others can be transferred to your computer first, and sometimes the players (on computers) will not play them until they are in a "decoded" format.\n\nYou CAN get "decrypter" programs that will allow you to put movies onto your hard drive for the ones that won't copy directly.  Then with appropriate software you can put them on a new DVD, from your hard drive.\n\nKindly note that doing so is ILLEGAL, and you can land in jail!!

If your computer doesn't have native AVI or WM* file compatibility, you may need to convert them to VOB files, which is the native file format of DVD players.  \n\nA program like Nero Vision will do that for you.  You can download a copy of the demo of Nero Ultra 7 at www.nero.com .\n\nHope this helps!\nMM

I use AVS Video Converter.  It can covert most formats of video files to a DVD player compatable one.  I don't know how much it costs (I didn't get mine one of the most legal ways)\n\n\n*cough*try downloading it off Ares or LimeWire.  Make sure you get a serial number with it*cough*

what is on the dvd? is it a movie or it some kind of software? if it is software, then you just put it in the drive and usually it will run right away. if it is a movie, you can play it in the media player. but to actually copy the contents you need some special software that will copy it. you can search the internet for some free software to download. good luck!
