Copying DVDs -- FREE and Legally!!!

I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBLITY OF YOUR ACTIONS. THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. ATTEMT AT YOUR FREE WILL. DON'T BLAME ANYTHING ON ME.

There, with that out of the way, let me explain a little about this. You can copy any DVD, and I mean any. It just uses this free software. It is safe to download.

It is nice to have around. I have a ton of movies and made about a billion (not a billion, I'm just making a point :-) copies that I can watch over and over again. That way if something happens to one disk, I still have a backup!!

Now if you are still interested, go to the next step!

One more thing, if you copy a DVD using this Instructable, leave a comment for me and rate it please!

Step 1 Getting the Program

There are just a few things you need before we get started:

1. DVD burning drive
2. Blank DVDs
3. DVD Shrink
4. Time

Once you have these things, you can go to the next step.
DVD Shrink is the software program you need. Go here to get it:

You need time because this thing takes some time to decrypt and burn.

This should only take a few minutes to download. When prompted, click save, then save it to the desktop.

When it has finished download, run the wizard to install it then proceed to my next step.

Thank You so much! This worked great. Even my Disney Movies copied with no problems. Thanks again. My five year old now can have a copy at Mommy's and Grandma's house!

I am having trouble copying my movies that are from Sony and most Disney. Anybody else having this trouble?

[My Sanity]

This is not even remotely legal

The only way this could be legal is if you owned [e-mail] of the content on the original dvds, but you said "billions of movies"...

Not only is what you're suggesting illegal, it is VERY illegal, a federal crime.

[a.nony.mouse]

every time I try this it tells me that there was an error reading the E: drive, any reason why?

[pacool76]

IM TRYING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND SO FAR IT LOOKS GREAT THANKS A LOT. I WILL REPLY IF IT WORKS

[maxpower49]

if you do the compression thing there will be no end credits or just the end credits will be compressed

[mdog93]

So i'm unsure of something- Do you need 2 separate dvd drives?- one to read it one to copy it, or do you only need one disc drive and you read the disc then take it out then put a blank disc in and burn onto it? mdog

[wrestler 103]

you put the movie in a dvd drive that you want to copy. the program will analyze and decode it, it will then spit the disc out and ask for a blank disc. Put the blank one in and it will burn. You need to have a dvd burner

[mdog93]

yeah that's what I thought, it must save the files in a temporary folder then write it from there. Thanks for clearing that up mdog

[dodo91]

how is this legal?

[theRIAA]

how is this legal again?

[sparky23]

As long as you dont sell it,you should be fine...............or maybe not.

[wrestler 103]

You can legally have a copy

[xACIDITYx]

You are legally allowed to keep a backup of any DVD you own on your hard drive.

[zuixro]

Under the DMCA it's illegal to bypass encryption to do it though. Yes, legally you have a right to keep a backup copy, but under the DMCA you can't bypass copy protection to do it. Yes, it's stupid.

[xACIDITYx]

Well, that is definitely stupid.

[chosenone3]

Hmn since I have only 1 dvd drive i don't need copiers bcz i know 1 secret that let me to copy a music concert which was copy protected and nero or any other dvd copying program didn't let me copy :P

[Xander da gr8]

[wrestler 103]

If you want me too I will show you how to do that...

[Xander da gr8]

[johnson_steve]

You wouldn't happen to have the body of a shark and the face and arms of a man would you?

AARRRGGGHH JIM LAD!:)

DVD Shrink is a few year out dated. Go to afterdawn. com and they usually have discounts for Slysoft ANYDVD. USE DVDSHRINK and ANYDVD together. ANYDVD is the best upto date dvd copying software on the market. You need anydvd to break the encryption and dvdshrink to shrink the dvd-9 to a dvd-5

[wrestler 103]

DVD Shrink breaks the encryption fine for me. It also compresses the DVD fine too. So what do you mean?

[Doctor What]

You are only allowed to copy dvds that you own, for backup purposes, not rented dvds.

[xACIDITYx]

One thing about your tags is that they pretty much contradict themselves. For example you used easy, simple, hard, challenging, difficult.

Also, capitals don't matter, so legal is the same as LEGAL.
