<![CDATA[Making an exact copy of a dvd]]>How does one make an exact copy of a retail dvd? I thought burning it to an Iso would do so (I found out I was wrong) but I don't know what the right way to do it is.Is it the software I used? ( Iskysoft)

The only oddity with uploading the folder (copied off the DVD Disk) is... (as I've seen a number of times) we end up with yet another folder in our download destination folder called "VIDEO_TS"... which can even get merged data with the previous VIDEO_TS folder, from when we downloaded a prior DVD from a member who just shared the VIDEO_TS folder off the DVD, too.

Of course THAT wouldn't be an issue if the member put the VIDEO_TS folder inside yet another folder of a unique name… but many members don't seem to either think of that, or know how to do that...

That's one nice advantage of creating a unique-name.iso file (perfect copy) of the DVD, so as not to have yet another VIDEO_TS folder in the torrent client download folder...

I would recommend copying the VIDEO_TS to the hard disk to its own folder to make any operation quicker 🙂

But, surely if he copied the VIDEO_TS folder to his hard disk he could burn a DVD from that or make a torrent if he wants to post..or have I missed something

One does not burn to an ISO, but from it.

Just follow the instructions in the software, to convert the original DVD files and folders… into a single .iso file, for sharing here.
