Backing up DVDs

Fazer6

Apologies in advance to the Mods if this query is out of order.

I'm trying to make a 'backup' a of newly purchased DVD, in case the original gets damaged.
When I look for the main title on the disc it is not visible.
Has any other forum user encountered this problem before and if so can it be overcome?

Thanks in advance.

We dont have fair use laws like the USA does in this country afaik. Thus making a copy, even for personal use, would be illegal.

I thought it was the other way around, where in the usa one can't use or host any software that can circumvent copyprotection

Some newer dvd's might be difficult to backup, dvdshrink is a good program for backups of dvd's

Thanks for the replies.

Dvdshrink was what I was using, no joy there.
