If you intend to write movies to DVD, you really should check out DVDFab. It is not free but they have a generous full-featured trial period that allows you to copy DVD's etc. I used it and was impressed enough to buy it.

OK, thanks for the reply.

I did not find anything in FAQ addressing this issue. The forum search engine is rather handicapped because it dos not allow 3-letter words such as DVD. I did follow the directions in the post below last night but it did not produce a DVD that would play on a television. Since I was able to read the ISO from the disk and save it to the hard drive, I assume it was not protected. I wrote the ISO image to a blank DVD and that will not play except on a computer.

It does not copy protected DVDs. Google for help on that. However, it can copy unprotected DVDs - use read mode followed by write mode. If you have a set of (unprotected) IFO/BUP/VOB files, you can use Build mode. See the guides.

I followed the directions in the "How to copy a disc using ImgBurn" guide but ended up with a DVD copy that would not play in my DVD player connected to my television. I have done this several times following directions on the web for this procedure but now have a lot of DVD's that play on my computers but not any of my 3 DVD players connected to televsions. I have absolutely no desire to watch a movie on my relatively small 22" computer screen. I do have the legal orignal DVD's and need to make copies of them because their delicate disks get scratched by the kids.
