How do I copy a DVD to Vista Dell

[DiDi]

I have a Dell XPS 420 desktop with 2 CD/DVD drives.
I want to copy a DVD to my computer. How do I do that? When I place the disc
in the drive a box comes up to play it but not to copy it.

What's on the DVD? As opposed to the pop-up dialog, what does Windows
Explorer show? You should be able to copy from Windows Explorer.

You need specific software to make copies of movies. Google DVDShrink. You
may also have to deal with copy protection issues.

Copy the vob type files, then rename them from vob to avi, then dbl click
them.

I found the Roxio software that did the job. Thank you to everyone.

I hope you purchased it. The *cough* versions available online at torrent
sights have a nasty virus attached to them.

"Sights"? How would you know? Ever hear of scanning a download with an
AV program before running it?

Thanks for confirming the fact that you are a thief!
Oops!

More of Frank leaping his logic and confirming he's a moron.

It was software that came with the computer. I had just forgotten about it.

Excellent! Happy ripping.

If I wanted your useless opinion or grammatical correction I would've
smacked your mother on her ass and told her to fetch<feltch> you.

My mother's dead and has been for over a decade. It was a spelling
correction, by the way.
