LOL, a back-up is a copy.

. Personally I back up most of my kids movies for if/when they destroy them.

The FBI warning says ANY copying is illegal if it's not authorized then it talks about distribution. Please prove me wrong but that looks like copying is illegal to me.

well, it may be illegal but they usually just overlook you, unless your selling the "copies"

To copy a DVD directly to another disk, you need a DVD reader & a DVD writer .
These are 2 different Drives...you only have one. Probably the reader.

hey mil1ion-

yeah i only have one drive... i was hoping the guy i had build it realized i wanted the reader and writer but.... only ended up with one. it would have made it way easier. now i have to save everything to the computer before i can copy it on a disk. like ive said i can copy CDs but not DVDs. it doesnt give me the option to store them to the computer.

on that DVDshrink website / link posted on here, i dont understand where i need to click on to download it??
