Vista - Need Help Copying a DVD

12-29-2008

I want to copy dvd and really don't know where to start.
Can I use an applet that came with Vista Home Premium to do this?
I've tried DVD Maker and Movie Maker but I haven't had any luck.
I don't want to install a full-fledged suite to do this.

Thanks,
James

I'm not aware of any built-in tools to do this. I believe Nero offers this
type of functionality.

Hi JamesJ you don't say what type of DVD you are trying to copy. If it is a DVD movie then you well have trouble with different types of "copy guards" If it is a Data DVD then try "exploring" the DVD and then copy and paste to a folder on your desktop and then burn to a blank DVD.
