Top reviews - Choice for DVD Copy Software


Summary: One good reason to store copies of your important records on DVDs. The steps of copy DVD to storage. 


DVD has a life span between 20 and 100 years, and that's one good reason to store copies of your important records on DVDs. Some things are priceless: Photos of a smiling college graduate or a homemade video of a tiny kitten, an enormous dog and a parrot with an attitude that collects a million hits on YouTube. Some things stored as digital data that would never go viral may actually be much more valuable than many people realize. Digital copies of important documents–such as financial records and family milestones–are not typically considered premium content in the same way that blockbuster movies are. Yet, if those digital family heirlooms are damaged in a fire or flood, the loss may be irreplaceable. 

All ABC DVDs are currently encoded for region 4 DVD players for copyright and other legal reasons. They will also play on non-region specific DVD players, which allow the owner to view any DVD purchased from anywhere in the world. Before sending family and friends who are overseas any of our DVDs it would be wise to ask them to consult their DVD player manuals for compatibility with region 4 DVDs.

Although this may not be the most popular reason to use DVD copying software, it is a compelling one. DVDs can outlast their owners, but the physical material will still deteriorate over a period of many years, even if it's stowed safely away. When you do copy DVDs to backup your content, dry and cool storage conditions will lessen the likelihood of deterioration. 

If you copy DVDs using one of the many DVD copy software applications, storing archived backups of that precious content is a good idea. Once duplicated, you can Pavtube DVDAid ( Mactake place the discs in a safety deposit box.

DVD Ripping Legality in the world

1. United Kingdom - legal for personal use 

In the United Kingdom, it’s now legal to rip/copy DVDs, CDs and ebooks for your own personal use. It was illegal to break the DRM (Digital Rights Management) or TPM (Technical Protection Measures) used on DVD to protect the content from ripping. However, it has been formally permitted to be legal if one makes DVD copies for personal use since 2012. Even more, the UK government has finally changed the law after inspecting DVD/CD copyright legislation and public consultation. It means that since October 2014, all people in UK are allowed to make copies of DVDs and other media freely as long as the copy is for personal use, such as DVD backup, or formats shifting. 

2. Germany – illegal 

Germany is a country with very restrict copyrighted content. According to German law, it dictates that it is illegal to circumvent mechanisms that prevent copying, but it allows the manufacture of copies of copyrighted digital material for personal, non-commercial use. 

3. Norway – not a crime 

It’s not a crime in Norway to make copy of DVD’s as long as it’s one’s own DVD. 

4. Netherlands -legal for personal use 

In Netherlands, all legally bought audio and video including DVD and Blu-Ray are allowed to make copies, which are also called “home copies”. However, those ripped files are only used personally. 

5. Spain – legal 

In Spain, anyone is allowed to make a private copy of a copyrighted DVD for oneself, providing that the copier has accessed the original DVD legally. 

6. USA -require the consent of copyright owner 

In the United States, copyright law has been extended many times over and copyright infringement is sometimes confronted via lawsuits in civil court, against alleged infringers directly, or against providers of services and software that support unauthorized copying. U.S. copyright law (Title 17 of the United States Code) generally says that making a copy of an original work, if conducted without the consent of the copyright owner, is infringement. The law makes no explicit grant or denial of a right to make a “personal use” copy of another’s copyrighted content on one’s own digital media and devices. 

7. Australia or New Zealand -legal 

In Australia and New Zealand, a copy of any legally purchased music may be made by its owner, as long as it is not distributed to others and its use remains personal. In Australia this was extended in 2006 to also include photographs and films. 

8. Japan – illegal 

DVD copy has been outlawed with corresponding amendments on copyright laws being coming out in Japan since October 1, 2012. 

9. China -not clear 

In China, the issue of digital piracy is not merely legal, but social. In most cases, the breach of digital copyright laws might not inquire into the cause.

Ripping Blu-ray on my PS3/PS4 with dolby 5.1 audio

Summary: I need help! My "fat" PS3 doesn't have 5.1 Surround when playing "disc based" movies, the PS3 games and Netflix work fine...but Blu-Ray only play two channels!  

”I need help! My "fat" PS3 doesn't have 5.1 Surround when playing "disc based" movies, the PS3 games and Netflix work fine...but Blu-Ray only play two channels! WHATS WRONG?!”



Since PS3, PS4 support Blu-ray playback, they have been the main Blu-ray player for Blu-ray collectors. However, many Blu-ray movies contain 5.1 surround sound audio but many PS3/PS4 users can’t get the 5.1 audio when playing Blu-ray movies like the above question. So how to solve Blu-ray no 5.1 audio in PS3/PS4 playing?

It assumed that the you have Blu-ray Audio Output Format (HDMI) in default [Linear PCM]. You can try changing Blu-ray Dynamic Range Control to [On]. This will improve conversation when playing movies recoded in Dolby audio. You can also try changing Blu-ray Audio Output Format (HDMI) to [Bitstream]. This is my prefer method, I was having an issue not to be able to change the surround decoding to DTS when Linear PCM was selected. My Denon AV receiver kept detecting Multichannel input if Linear PCM was used. if you are using the phat ps3, then lpcm will show multichannel when decoding hd audio. if its not hd audio then lpcm will only play 2 chennels i think.

If this doesn’t work, you can rip Blu-ray to PS3/PS4 supported digital video with multi-track audio keeping 5.1 sound to test if it is the Blu-ray’s or device’s fault with a Multi-track Blu-ray Ripper.

Step 1: Download Multi-track Blu-ray Ripper - Pavtube ByteCopy below. It can rip and convert Blu-ray to MP4 with multi-track audio for PS3/PS4 quickly.

Free download and install:
 

Step 2: Run the multi-track Blu-ray Ripper <review>and click “File” to load Blu-ray discs.



Step 3: In the dropdown list of Format menu, you can find several MP4 options for output. Here we recommend "Multi-track MP4 (* mp4)" under "Multi-track Video" catalogue. Because it will save multiple video, audio and subtitle tracks form original Blu-ray in output MP4 and you won't suffer any quality loss.



Note: Make sure the original BD disc does contain Dolby TrueHD audio, otherwise you still can't get Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio saved.

Step 4: You can check the audios you want to keep and uncheck the audios you don't need. It all depends on your own choices. And then choose 5.1 audio in the Audio - Channels box.



Step 5: Double check above steps, click the big “Convert” button and start to convert Blu-ray to multi-track MP4 with 5.1 sound for PS3/PS4 with ease. When the conversion is done, open the output folder and find the converted multi-track MP4 file.

Use the multi-track MP4 with 5.1 sound to test your PS3/PS4. If in this case, your PS3/PS4 can stream 5.1 surround sound, it may be your Blu-ray discs’ fault.
