Save Old DVDs to Computer

I am concerned that if it is stored on the computer in an ISO format there may come a time when that format is no longer supported by the computer's OS and programs. Then I would be unable to make the DVD. If I use Windows Explorer and just copy the files to a folder on my computer, how would I make a DVD that will play on a DVD player? I did copy one to a disk using Windows Explorer. It plays on the computer, but not on the DVD player. The original does play on it. Thanks, CB ================================ For that matter DVDs might be obsolete in the not too distant future...but I still think I would go with ImgBurn to create and burn ISO files. I think Graham Hughes offered you good advice on copying DVDs. -- J.

Is using a Roxio/Nero type program better than copying it by playing it from a DVD player to a DVD recorder? Thanks, CB -- C and A Bredt |

Thanks, CB ==================================== Hard to say what's better...if you can copy the DVDs with your DVD Recorder...that's probably just as good and easier (no computer required). -- J.
