Question Copy a home-made DVD to the computer's HDD ?

[braxx20]

I am trying to copy a home-made DVD to my PC's HDD as a backup.
The DVD has two files : Video RM and Video TS.

I tried copying them to my Windows10 PC. One of them copied OK, although taking a long time, the other (I don't remember which) copied all except one. The one that would not copy had an icon for Vidoelan in front of it. While the program is on my computer I want to take the copied files and burn them with Media Player and Media Player says "select the files" to burn. So I have to get them from my DVD drive to the desktop to select them. My problem is how to successfully copy the entirety of these files so I can then burn them with Media Player?

Back in the day I had 2 DVD writers, when I wanted to copy over an entire disks. This came in handy since I just needed to burn one media from the other. I've never copied over a DVD, mind you, onto an HDD.

Use imgburn to copy the whole DVD as a single img file to your hard drive, if this fails then your DVD has issues, you could try cleaning it or find someone that does resurface on DVDs. (Long reading times=issues with the surface)
You can use the same program to write the img file back to a new DVD.

Thank you. BUT, I thought I had checked the box to get an email saying that I had a reply. So far, I have not. Did I do something wrong?

The box that can be checked to receive an email notice when a reply has been made. I went back to the post after a day or two because I had NOT received a notice. There WAS a reply in the forum

Lol. Check your spam/junk filter I guess.

It's a one size fits all installer.

I use DVD shrink and alcohol 120 to rip DVD's and Bly ray discs to my computer. DVD shrink is free and pretty easy to use, i go in the settings and rip them as .iso images.

Much easier just to copy the DVD to another DVD if your PC is equipped with a DVD burner and you have the appropriate burning software.
