Hardware based system solutions are also available which allow you to be able to back up your DVD movies via the hard drive. These solutions are as easy to use as a VCR, and also allow you to record TV shows and VHS tapes to DVD. While many units do not directly support the ability to make recordings from one DVD to another, most can be tricked very easily to solve this problem. Once you have purchased a DVD recorder (most range from $95 to $300 to buy), attach a normal DVD player's video output into the DVD recorder's video input jacks. Once this has been accomplished, the DVD recorder will be able to duplicate the DVD, in much less time than using a software based solution! In addition, with this solution, you will also be able to record DVD films to VHS tapes, and vice-versa. Although several different models are available, the entry level unit (CyberHome's DVR1600) often retails for less than $100. Recordable DVD players are available from most home electronics stores.

Now that you know what is required and know about tools how to protect DVD movie files, there is nothing stopping you from copying and of burning your favorite DVD movies. In addition, family memories can be downloaded and recorded onto DVDs and treasured forever, using these technologies.
