Grogtholomew Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 yah so i own some movies and for some reason i want to waste space on my computer by backing them up.

Laura Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Would that not require unencrypting the DVD, which is against the law? Even if not, if you do not legally own the DVDs, you cannot legally back them up/convert them, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldJoe Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I was planning on posting a answer, but i didn't. Since i don't think this is within the rules on this board (and copyright laws in general). And i don't understand why you can't search the web. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogtholomew Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 these programs exists. regardless of what reason i use it for. i will change my post to be more "legal" i have searched the web and have found trial versions of bulky, less than functional converters. i want to know the name of a reputable program from a known brand name preferably, something that is well known as a dvd to avi converter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say I live anywhere else, I live in Canada too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogtholomew Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 alright, the laws are there. true. but how many canadians have you heard about being penalized for downloading music, movies, or computer software? or for making backups of commerical dvds? none... but that's not the topic at hand. i have a master copy of a friends homemade dvd. he wants me to make multiple copies. never in my life have i witness a "tech and computers" forum so caught up in copyright laws.. you all certainly break the stereotype of tech savy people.

pryomancer Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 What? Copyright infringement is a serious issue, people face jailtime and fines for it. There is no stereotype of tech savvy people being cautious about copyright, because it affects everyone, and it's surprisingly easy to do on a computer, sometimes without realising it. That's why we need to be aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrash-boy Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 im sure there's many programs out there to make copy's of your 'friends homemade dvd'. your 'friends homemade dvd' wouldn't be encrypted, unless it is for some strange reason, but i dont think homemade dvds are usually. in that case copying your friends homemade dvd should be easily done with nero because it wouldn't be encrypted, but if your friend 'homemade dvd' did happen to be encrypted, then i found a link to this little program. just a thought. maybe the address of the website i just posted, maybe you should remove the 'now' from the end of the domain and search for what you have left in google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
