Disc To Digital Copy Converter

Wolf · #1 05-15-2012, 02:18 PM

I have quite a few of DVDs and I like the idea of trying to convert them into digital copy. I seen now that you can bring your DVDs to Wal Mart and they can convert them to digital copy via a cloud service for $2 a DVD. That not a bad price, but I rather find ways around it, because it could be a bit pricy for the amount of DVDs I own and plus I rather own a legit copy, not streaming it. So does anyone know any programs on the net, that you can download for free or pay. Or I can find some kind of converter in the stores, where I can hook it up to my computer?

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act makes it illegal to bypass the copy protection on DVDs. A bunch of the $2 you pay Wal-mart is going to the rights holders of the movies they can "convert". (They don't really convert the movies, they just sell you a streaming license.)

There may or may not be programs that can help you bypass DVD copy protection, but even mentioning their names could be a violation of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.

I can careless with the copyright act laws and I'm not go there and turn this into a feud thread, I would like know what kind programs are there on the market.

They said, they convert or format whatever version. It still streams into my house, where I own the rights!

PMs are not safe. I'm sure if you look around you can find something capable of backing up any dvd you own.

There are programs out there that can be used to duplicate personal DVD's, or non-copyrighted content. Not just, any DVD, but non-copyrighted disks. Be sure to look into the laws and regulations before you do anything. We're not lawyers, we're satellite nerds. We aren't qualified to give advice of this nature.

I think as with most of meme's mesages you need to read between the lines to ascertain any meaning from them. You should never take his posts at face value. The DND hires him to post in times of war because of his skill at obstebecating plain english.
