Hi guys! It's so easy.

First: inset ur favor DVD into DVD reader

Second: D-click My Computer and right-click on DVD reader and choose Copy.

Three: choose the directory and right click again and choose Past.

Now you only need to do is waiting when copy task over. you can watch the movie from the hard disk.

b klear kiddo... u meant to copy dvd or save movie to b backed up... u want an exact image... or a compressed copy...

exact image.. try Alcohol.. or Nero(it's "image recorder" option instead of a dvd/cd writer chosen while burning).. or any other cd/dvd image making software...(u might need AnyDVD too)

compressed copy.. refer in the forum itself.. countless techniques & software reviewed.

try nero recode.
you can convert dvd movie into a smaller file, quality is ok.
if you want, you can copy the VIDEO_TS folder on the dvd onto your HDD. the audiio will also be present

@mehman ....... try this ......

create an image using nero or any dvd burning software .......

install Alcohol or any free image reader software ........

now the MAGIC begins ........

u get an EXTRA drive ...... dont worry its bcoz of img reader softy .......


through that softy ...... watch THAT fav DVD without inserting ur DVD .....


ENJOY ! ! !
Exact fail-safe steps...
But I would prefer Daemon tools.
Even Nero provides a tool called "Nero Image Drive", if u've Nero installed check if u remembered to install it. That would do the job too.
