DVD Backup Services??

[m021478]

Does anyone know of a DVD backup company that offers some kind of service in which they could make a backup of all of your DVD Movies (including Hollywood Titles)? There are a ton of companies that offer CD Ripping service for the portable MP3 music industry, and those companies do rip copy-protected music onto discs, ipods, etc...for a fee of course, and I was wondering if such a service was offered for movies instead of music? Any referrals would be appreciated. Thanks!

In regards to where I live...I just wanted to be clear that I was hoping to find a company that backs-up DVD movies to a chosen storage medium...in my case, that would be a computer hard drive and not another disc...just though that would be worth noting...

I seriously doubt you can find one that would backup OFFICIAL movies. Those are copyrighted and they'd be in serious trouble if they were found, say, using dvd shrink on a dvd duplicator and charging $5 a disc. They'd be in jail in no time.

BUT I'm sure a simple net search will find you plenty of places that will copy old home video to dvd for you. I think even places like CVS offer the service through a third party.

Nah. All you'd need is to get them to sign a legal disclaimer that they are the copyright owners - then it's on their heads, and not the service provider's. The same thing happens at VHS to DVD conversion places.

Why not just do it yourself then ? It's freeeeee.

jimmalenko is correct why not do this yourself?
Duplicating services are very expensive. It would be difficult to find a legit company that would touch copyrighted material.

In the US that wouldn't hold up in court,I also think you should do it yourself.Those places that rip CD's(for a fee) are technically violating DMCA because the content on CD's is digital and copyrighted.
Maybe adam can clarify.
