How I Backup MY Movie DVD’s

[Grumpy]

CloneDVD2 – This will read the DVD Movie.



Step 1: Refer to above Picture.
Start CloneDVD2 and Click the top button, the ‘Copy DVD Titles’ button. (Shown Above)
Note: I do this when I only want to copy the Main Movie! (Remembering AnyDVD will also be removing the extra’s.)
Click ‘Next’.



Step 2: Refer to above Picture.
1. Use the little drop down arrow and choose the DVD drive which holds your movie.
2. Notice how only the main movie title is ticked!
3. Notice at this stage it is saying that our quality will be 82%. Anywhere in the green area of the quality bar is very good quality!!
4. Click ‘Next’.



Step 3: Refer to above Picture.
In this picture you will notice we only have the one Audio Stream ticked and the one Audio Channel.
We don’t want subtitles so its not ticked!
Click ‘Next’.



Step 4: Refer to above Picture.
1. Choose your preferred Read speed. I ALWAYS use 4x!!
2. Choose your DVD Writer.
3. The DVD Label. Most times I just leave this as the default!
4. Choose where you would like to save the files.
NOTE: I always name the Save folder the same as the DVD Volume Label!!
This is so I remember the correct Label when I write the DVD later!
5. THE IMPORTANT PART!! UNTICK THE BOX!!
You DO NOT want to ‘Delete temporary video files after writing’!!! So UNTICK THE BOX!!6. Click ‘GO’
CloneDVD2 will now read your Movie DVD. It will take approximately 12-15 minutes at 4x.



Step 5: Refer to above Picture.
When the reading has completed the DVD will eject and you will be prompted to insert a recordable media into the drive.
At this point I choose ‘Cancel’!! Yes that’s right ‘I choose Cancel!!’
That is the disc read completed.
You can close CloneDVD2 and exit AnyDVD. (CloneDVD probably closed when you chose ‘Cancel’)
Now to write our movie!

Nero – This will write our DVD files to our Blank DVD.

Insert a Blank DVD into your DVD Drive!!



Step 1: Refer to above Picture.
1. Open Nero and use the drop down arrow to choose DVD.
2. Choose ‘Photo and Video’.
3. Click on ‘Burn DVD-Video Files’.

Step 2: Refer to Picture below.
1. Change to the DVD Recorder.
2. Browse to where you saved your DVD files.
3. Label the disc the same as the original.
NOTE: Remember we named our folder the same as the original DVD! So just click on the folder (number 2) and copy the text, then paste it in for the label. (number 3).
4. Open the ‘Edit’ menu and choose ‘Select All’. This will highlite all our files.
5. Left Click, AND HOLD THE LEFT CLICK, on the highlited files and drag them over and drop them onto the red VIDEO_TS folder icon. (Drag 5 to 5)
6. The files will now show up in the column where you just dropped the files.
7. The blue bar will now show up to let you know how much of the Blank DVD will be used.
8. Click the ‘Burns the current compilation’ button. (its just below the 8)





Step 3: Refer to above Picture.
All there is to do now is to check the write speed, (I always use 4x) and click the ‘Burn’ button.
The writing should take approximately 12-15 minutes at 4x.

Have fun and enjoy.
