Article added: Copying DVDs, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Imagine this: you have just bought your very first DVD-recorder, you come home and you want to start backing-up your expensive DVD titles so that you don't have to worry about your kids anymore, who seem to think that DVD discs make excellent Frisbees. So, you put your original DVD title in your recorder only to find out that;

1. it's protected against ripping and thus copying the contents of the disc to your hard disk doesn't work, and
2. even if you do succeed in ripping the contents of the disc, the files don't fit on your recordable DVD since the latter can only hold 4.4GB of data while the original DVD is more than 7GB in size.

In this article we're going to take a look at some of the software packages that are available today with which you can copy your DVD movies. We'll take a look at the produced video quality of each software package and at how much time the software needs to accomplish its task.
