Unencrypted movies can be copied from a disc or from a hard drive. This topic describes how to copy movies using the Disc Copier component of your digital media suite.

To open Disc Copier, click on the Copy tab in the project launcher and click on the Copy DVD Movies project name.


Tips

  • Most commercial DVD movies are encrypted and cannot be copied using Disc Copier.
  • If your DVD-Video source files are greater than 4.7 GB in size, the files will be compressed to fit on a standard 4.7 GB DVD disc. Any DVD-ROM content is not copied.
  • Some unencrypted movie discs can also be copied using the Copy Disc project in Roxio Home. However, the Copy Disc project does not compress files. Click here to learn more.
  • Here's a quick way to copy a disc or disc image file. In Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive letter of the recorder that contains the disc or on the name of the disc image file. Choose Copy with Disc Copier from the shortcut menu.
