Save Old DVDs to Computer
I had some of my old family movie reels put onto DVDs.
I read that they need to be re-burned every few years to keep them from deteriorating. True? When I look at them with Windows Explorer, there is a folder = VIDEO_TS, that contains files with extensions = BUP, IFO, VOB. Can I save them on my computer then later re-burn them to DVDs for storage? Thanks, CB -- C and A Bredt

Thanks, CB =================================== Yes you can copy the DVD Files to your hard drive but they take up lots of space. (no need to RIP personal DVDs.because there is no copy protection...just copy the files to a folder on your hard drive) The following freeware can make an ISO Image of the DVD, then you can burn the ISO image on as many copies as you want.

Save Old DVDs to Computer
If it were me I'd use a programme like nero or roxio and just do a straight
copy disc to disc of the dvds you wish to keep. Buy high quality discs, Taiyo Yuden are very good, burn slowly, this gives best burn. Keep discs in a cool dark place. -- Graham Hughes MVP Digital Media "John Inzer" wrote in message ... C and A Bredt wrote: I had some of my old family movie reels put onto DVDs.

Inzer MS-MVP Digital Media Experience Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk 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 -- C and A Bredt
