- 1). Find out the legal issues. Courts in the United States have ruled it illegal to break copyright protection. In further cases it has been found that distributing software that breaks copy protection to be illegal but backing up DVDs is not illegal.
- 2). Find and download DVD copying software. Software that does not break copy protection and that will work on non copyrighted DVDs can be bought from many software retailers. Software that works on copyrighted DVD can be found online through websites not based in the US.
- 3). Install the DVD copying software. Put the DVD in the drive. Start the DVD copying software. Use the settings in the software to save a copy of the DVD on the hard drive when copying to another DVD or instead of copying to a DVD disk.
