    Copy DVD to DVD - Freeware


    I don't want to copy movies or make data disks, I just want to be able to put a source DVD disk into Drive G: and put a blank DVD disk into Drive H: and press a button that says 'Copy DVD to DVD'. For example, make a backup of a DVD that came with a new printer.

    I have used Nero but would like a bare-bones program, i.e., not bloated.

    AnyDVD is only valid for 21 days.

    I have looked at Imageburn but does it do the above? (Problem is I don't understand what an ISO is.)

    What would you recommend?

    An ISO file is an image of a disc. So you put the source disk into the computer and create an image from it. Then you end up with a file like filename.iso.

    At that point, you can take filename.iso and choose the option to burn a disc from the disc image. You simply pick your ISO file and it recreates another disc exactly as it was on the source disc.

    Hope that helps. Imgburn is what i use. Great freebie app.

    I agree. Here is a screen shot.

    This is for non-copy protected CD/DVD.

    The OP said that he didn't know what an ISO file was...so I was trying to explain that for him. It's very important to understand ISO files, both creating and burning them.

    Sorry, my bad. ISO's are surely important when you have to make backups of CD's/DVD's
