This has probably been asked before but I can't find it - what is the easiest way to copy a homemade dvd that someone gave me? The dvd is about 5 minutes long. It has 2 folders: Open DVD and VIDEO_TS.
The Open DVD folder has these files: Click Me, Open DVD.pvm, and Untitled.dvd. The VIDEO_TS file has 7 files: VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS, VIDEO_TS, VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0, VTS_01_0, VTS_01_1. This last file is the largest by far - 562,976 kb.
I wonder if I can use CD Burner software or use PE12. And which files do I need to use?
Thx!

You can use Premiere Elements 12. We have a tutorial or two on importing (Add Media) from a DVD Drive, here is one of them http://muvipix.com/products.php?searchp ... =0&btn.y=0Here are some screen shots from Version 13, should be very similar to 12. Add Media.jpg DVD Import.jpg

The easiest way to copy a disc is to use a utility designed to do that. If you don't have one already, you can use the free ImgBurn utility. You can get it from http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download. Be sure to select one of the "mirror" links and not the big download button. imgburnDL.JPG Be careful when you install the utility. The author is now including offers to install junkware by default. Don't select "express", select "custom" and uncheck the install boxes. See this thread for more information: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=13443Once you have ImgBurn, you can use Create Image File From Disk to copy the DVD to your hard drive and then use Write Image File to Disk to copy the DVD image to a new DVD disc. imgburn.JPG

Good suggestion Bob, ImgBurn is an excellent tool for this

Nero has a freebie utility called StartSmart Essentials that I've used for this purpose for many years. It used to come bundled with CD/DVD burner hardware. I don't know if they're still making it or not. I don't think you'll find it on their site, but I found it here as a download: http://nero-essentials.en.uptodown.com/It has a very intuitive interface. All you need to do is use the Copy Disc feature. Edit: I just read Bob's post. If you should decide to try the Nero install, Bob's advice about avoiding unwanted junkware installs may possibly apply here too. I don't know if it does or not, but just be cautious.

Thx for all of your input. For the time being, I used Chuck's instructions with PrEl12 but I would like to download the other free software for future copying.
Now I would like to use an easy program to design a simple dvd label. I will be printing directly on the dvd's and can use printer software but thought there might be something better.

+1 for Acoustica.
One can create bespoke labels in Acoustica but I normally use Photoshop for label creation and use Acoustica to print them.
