is no DRM (digital rights management) involved ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imgburn
"It cannot, however, remove CSS encryption or any other copy protection."

Or, copy a commercial DVD, like a movie from Sony ?
Sony and other companies, protect their content with DRM
(or even, rootkits), and the DRM must be defeated in some cases
to allow copying (for backup purposes).
Examples of rippers. These are applications to get around
any limitations imposed by the movie industry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_ripper
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvdfab
Note that, if you become addicted to ripper applications,
they must be kept up to date. As new movies come out,
the ripper needs an update to defeat the latest DRM
methods.

I use DeepBurner Pro (paid), but there's a free edition available:Homemade, Video

There are lots of other CD/DVD burner programs available. Search on "DVD
burning copying programs", and see what you get. NB that some of these
product are technically illegal since they defeat region coding and DRM,
but AFAIK the right to make a backup copy (to protect your investment)
has not yet been declared illegal by any court.

The easiest way is to install some burning software. In general theHow can I make a copy of a DVD. Thanks.
software will read the dvd and create an image file on your hard disk
(temporary or permanent, your choice) which is then used to burn a blank
dvd. Thus the task is done using one drive.
Note - if all you want to do is burn a dvd disk from files you have on a
hard disk, Windows 7 has that ability built in. XP has it using CDs and
unsure what Vista features off hand. If files are already on a dvd then
you can copy them first to the hard disk then burn. Movies usually
aren't that easy as they have copy protection screws up simply copying
the disk.
Imgburn (do google search) is a free program will do it; for at least a
"normal" disk.
Note - I'm unsure if it along with any number of other programs balk at
copying a copy protected disk (e.g. a rented movie). There's other
programs will circumvent that, DVD Shrink comes to mind. It's also handy
for shrinking a 8.5 gig dvd to fit on a 4.5 gig blank disk. Most
techniques for copying copy protected disks will involved you becoming
familiar with disk image files (iso etc.) and perhaps even Disk Image
editing software. You basically create a new image file of the DVD with
the copy protection removed and you burn that.

Microsoft, as we all here know, no longer support these groups, so as

But, other newsgroups that I visit are moderated, and the do have rules.

To compare a posting style to the unsafe operation of a motor vehicle is
ludicrious. The implied consequences are incomparable. Using a posting
style of one's choice doesn't place your health or life at risk.
Back in the days I used to reply mid-post, or in-line. This made it look
more like a live conversation. It was an editing nightmare and if it wasn't
formatted properly or your recipient's reader sucked, the reader often
missed information. If the conversation required more than a single reply
from each person involved however... icky acky ooo, what a mess, and I loved
it. Thought it was the cat's meow.
As flame wars ebbed and flowed, I decided to give bottom posting a swing.
Sure it's great to have a complete conversation, chronologically sorted top
to bottom, but if the conversation was long, or the reply just as long, or
the topic too complex to edit down to a smaller quoted chunk, it could be
just as annoying to scroll through the entire message, and hope you find the
start of the reply without having to scroll back. Then what happened if you
edited out a chunk that was later deemed important?
This lasted about a week. I hated bottom posting ... then I switched to
top posting.
Top posting is where I'm at, and will stay at. Chances are, when you opened
this letter, you recognized that the reply was `right here' ... three
seconds and you found your goal. Life is good. 8)
As for all those lovely arguments against Top-Posting that quote ancient
RFCs or netiquette. The internet and usenet were created by ... you guessed
it, Engineers. When left to their own devices, Engineers tend to design
things for reasons other than business and personal 'use'. Engineers like
big thick manuals. Bottom posting is like a big thick manual. A b c d e f g
h... neat, orderly. When you're an Engineer or a Scientist, you need to
know a b c d e in the order of a b c d e. That works... sure, but what
happens when you're a consumer, a user, a business? Do you care?
Long are gone the days when the usenet was used solely by academia.
Top-posting is immediate. Top posting is personal. Top-posting is for the
masses.
Blogs = top post
Twitter logs = top post
News sites = top post
When was the last time you visited an information site that listed oldest
conversations first? A forum site probably ... but what else? Anything?
The point being, top posting offers you the shortest route, through the
least amount of effort, to the latest topics or information.
I will try to sum up my opinions for the reason for top posting in few
useful, daily life arguments.
1. Same concept goes for good paper filing systems. You file new to the
front ... where's the front of an email? top.
2. If you're vision-impaired, using a large font reader or you're listening
to your news reader, following a conversation thread, that is say, 20
replies deep, how fast will you dump that thread, important or otherwise if
you must wade through all that replied, quoted text, over and over, message
after message to reach the simple responses all the way down at the bottom?
3. If you're reading a `Thread' you probably already read it from the OP.
That's the purpose of the Thread title ... which BTW is at the top of the
thread message ... 8) As one reads through a thread, how much more time is
wasted scrolling or paging down through quoted text just to reach a reply
several paragraphs long that you then must scroll page-up through to find
the actual beginning of the reply? Or worse, to an AOL'esque single line or
monosyllabic response?
3. In this age of not just immediate gratification, but of the immediacy of
information, anything but top posting, wastes time. We all know what time
is ... money. My time is valuable, your time is valuable. Learn to
structure your thoughts quickly. Put it to print. Get it out there and
move on.
4. How many of your parents, or grandparents still can't grasp the concept
of scrolling down or how to pull the scroll bar down to see the other 50
lines of your message beyond the mere 15 they can see after blowing their
screen res up to 800x600?
You may have heard "The medium is the message. ... The content is the
audience". For USENET, the medium is instantaneous, and so too should be
the message... this is the very essence of Top-posting.
Having said all this, in the end, posting style is all about personal
choice. It's up to the author to decide what is the best method for getting
their message across. No one can say it's right or wrong, just of differing
opinion, or merits.
Unlike a private company, on USENET there is no policy, and no one & no way
to enforce it (unless it's a moderated ng of course). It's a public forum
for all dogs on the internet to have their chance to be praised, flamed or
ignored, regardless.
If you want popularity, go to Facebook or look in a mirror. USENET is not a
private conversation, it's a publc dissemination of information, discussions
and the occasional obligatory flame-war.

<demonstrating the use of snipping>To compare a posting style to the unsafe operation of a motor vehicle is
ludicrious. The implied consequences are incomparable. Using a posting
style of one's choice doesn't place your health or life at risk.
Many eons ago in a particular group, there was one, and only one, poster
who was sight impaired and used an OCR to "read" the posts. She had found
that if the replies were top posted, they were easier to find. So we began
to top post replies just for her.
That was the only time I have ever come across where top posting was
wanted. One of the netiquette things in usenet is also, when replying a
single line, to a thousand line post, snip the damn crap!
No sense making others scroll ten thousand lines just to read "damn!".
In many cases, inline posting to posts is considered appropriate depending
on the nature of the original post. What is royally frowned upon, is when
you're replying to a reply to a reply to a reply and top post your answer.
The reader now has to try and figure to what you are replying.
Now let's all just get along and get back to work or have a party.
