Copying a DVD of family videos

DragonPup

So my mom had a bunch of old reel to reel videos burnt onto a DVD a while back and has asked that I make some copies. She would love it if I couple copy only specific chapters for specific family members, but failing that, to copy the entire thing onto more discs. I have a DVD burner in my PC with plenty of hard drive space.

Oh, and she wants this done in one day. :-|

So, what's the problem? Grumble, curse under your breath, and start copying.

If you don't have DVD burner software, check out http://cdburnerxp.se - it's free and works darned well. word to the wise (assuming you don't know this already), use DV-R disks. Lots of older DVD players won't work with DV+R or any sort of rewriteable; this may well save you having to listen to cousin Larry moan because the copy you made for him does not work.

Yes, I neglected to mention that I lack DVD burning software. I'll try that one out once I get home. Thanks!

No prob. It's shockingly robust.

In case you did not know this, you need to convert your current DVD contents to an iso image file. This is what you will burn on the news DVDs.
