Copy home made DVD's with menus to hard drive for storage

Jun 9, 2010 1:22PM PDT

I have made a number of DVD's with menus, transitions and other features. I would like to copy them to a hard drive for storage. What is the easiest way to do this without loosing any of the features? The program I use is Pinnacle Studio 9.

I think a image copy would retain every features. Give it a try.

So no reason to duplicate the prior discussions.

Research this -> DVD RIPPING TO ISO
Then this -> VIRTUAL DVD ISO MOUNTING

So the story is simply rip to .ISO, mount the ISO with something and play from that mounted ISO with your video dvd player.

I hope you understand that this has been discussed at length.
