    It does for most games, yes. It doesn’t work for most movie DVD’s. For movies see my video for how to rip DVD using RipIt software.

    Thanks for the great tutorial. I now have a copy save on the desk top. In it are two folders; AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. Inside the video one there are 10 other folders. This is an iMovie Project with a menu. Am I suppose to click on one of the 10 folders to make a copy of the DVD. If I burn it the way it is all I get are files, not a duplicate of my DVD movie.

  16. styles178 says:

    Great vid man, but can you show us how to copy a dvd that is copyrighted? If youtube allows it that would be freaking awesome…thanks!!!

  17. EZCompadre says:

  18. stuby1001 says:

    finding this vid took hours of frustration off my life, THANK YOU!

  19. Matias Bilbao says:

    My pleasure. Thanks for the feedback.

  20. Matias Bilbao says:

    You should use a dual layer DVD. Otherwise, if its over 8.7 GB, you need to use software such as Toast to create a disk span across several discs. Of course you could use Bluray Discs but that is less common.

  21. realgunta says:

    can you simply watch the copy ON your computer? Rather than having to burn it to a dvd? I prefer to just watch it from the hard drive. Is that possible???

  22. realgunta says:

    THIS, i have the exact same question

  23. womendelssohn says:

    I have no idea about the disk utility before. Thanks for introducing it!!
    But I would like to ask if it is impossible to burn the disk with its disk status being “read only”?
    Thx!
