@mary: "I have gone to groups and tried to look this up, but perhaps I am putting in
the wrong keywords...
We are trying to make back up copies of our disc, and purchased DVD copy
xpress.  I guess now, we have found out that it doesn't copy the menu/etc?
So now, my question is, can anyone recommend a program (shareware/freeware
preferably, but will pay) to be able to do this?
We tried to make a copy of our lodoss war dvd, and it only copied a little,
then stalled.  Same with some of the other dvd's that we have.  Our only
"option" was to run it past the menu, then copy.  But my ranma 1/2 is in
Japanese, with the option to have it subtitled into English...
Thank you *very* much for any suggestions!

Interesting that your stance on copying or backing up DVDs does not 
extend to your support for the violation of copyright restrictions by 
bypassing  the regional zoning system.
In a later posting you advocate the purchase of region free players.
I can spell hypocrite, can you?

That, my friend, is a distinction without a difference. Both copyright

money stream. Nothing more, nothing less, and no difference.

Okay Claire, you want to send me $50 for the second copy
of "Disney's Tarzan: Collectors Edition" I had to pay after my
nephew wrecked disc 1 on my first copy. After all, you seem
to be made of money and all so that $50 won't hurt you since
DVDS are "inexpensive."

  Dumbfuck.  YOUR cousin is the one that should have had "to pay" for

But a DVD can be copied, unlike a couch or an antique glass vase.  I simply
want to use the appropriate tools that I have at my disposal, as provided
under the law.
Obviously, the answer to your original question is that we replace things
that aren't copyable if we can afford to replace them and if they're
important enough to us that we deem them worth the expense, and we don't if
we don't.  Just like you.  It's irrelevant to the discussion over making
backup copies of DVDs, though.
And I repeat:  unless you're a parent yourself, you don't know what you're
talking about.  Literally.  Even if you think you do, you don't.  Period.

That's somewhat analogous, yes.  But then you should be able to understand

Not totally true!
If one COPIES a DVD from the library, no artist/studio/whatever gets any
money from the copy.
If one BUYS a legitimate region 3 disc to play in the US, the

  Further proving how far off the mark you are.  That has NOTHING to
do with fair use, and never did.
  The moment you make the second copy, you ARE afoul, dipshit.
  The fair use was for an archival copy to be made.  ONE.  Also, it
does not extend to you the right to pick and choose where you place
the copy either.  Your hard drives are invalid locations.  Get a clue."

No..actually, I have a lot of them.
Want to buy one?"
    @speedy1959: "DVDs may be cheap for other people but here in Australia we pay an average
of $30AU for a disc! This equates to around 2 hours work for a person on an
average income. I make a backup copy as soon as I get a new DVD home from
the shop. I have seen some kids that handle the disc with the greatest of
care but I have also seen other kids (and plenty of adults) leaving
fingerprints on the disc and throwing them on the floor when finished
playing instead of replacing them into their cases. If you are only making a
backup copy I see no harm in doing so. If you know of anyone who is copying
and selling them then by all means bring the full force of the law down on
them.
Will Claire D. Lune tell us the prices of DVDs wherever she/he is and also
any children in the household?
*Flame retardant overalls on - ready for action*"
    @speedy1959: "<quote>
pay the price.  I shouldn't have to
Does this mean if you have kids you will keep them chained up in a cellar or
something???
Also how do YOU pay the price if someone does a backup copy to use and it
gets broken so they make another copy? All the copy does is stop people
having to pay twice or even more for something they bought legally the first
time. Sure, you can say that couches etc get worn out and need replacing but
that is normal wear and tear. Most people put covers on their couches which
is like making a backup couch in the hope that if anything happens it will
happen to the cover.  DVDs are made to last a long time but will wear out
with constant use so why not protect your investment by making backups?"
