Hey, it's a valid Q.....

An "original" pressed dvd is going to have copy protection on it and ImgBurn won't cut it......

It's amazing how people that have been around for years don't know how to be more specific or actually use the super secret search function or the top secret hidden tools section

Although you expect it from newbies.......

Here's what works for me 99% of the time for backups:

o I check the size of the original disc before starting the process to determine whether or not it will fit on a single-layer disc.
o Rip the disc to hard drive using DVDFab HDDecrypter (freeware). (If it's a very recent disc, the freeware version, which the author has decided to update to the newer encryptions after a delay from first issue, may not work for awhile. I wait.)
o If the resulting size fits on a single-layer disc, burn with Imgburn.
o If the resulting disc is too large to fit on a single-layer disc, shrink using DVDShrink, which will do it automatically. (Double-layer discs are so much more expensive than SL discs, I just never considered them to be cost-effective, so I don't use them.)
o Burn to disc with Imgburn.

Never had to use anything else. For that other 1%, nothing seemed to work and I just didn't make a backup.

Good luck
