DVD Read/Copy/Burn Guide (LOOK!)
If you have problems with copying DVD's or recovering DVD's, CD's or other important data, read below. It contains links to; in my opinion the best freeware/software for the job.
PROBLEM #1
OK, lets say you have a really damaged CD, DVD, Zip, Rar, ISO, Exe, Doc, ppt, pdf etc... And you really want the info back, without having to buy, download, find or create again.
SOLUTION #1
Generally DVD's nowadays are copy protected even if you want to back up or recover them. Well, there is an awesome and cheap piece of software called 'CD/DVD Data Recovery'. It can recover many files although I have only recovered a DVD with it. I had a badly damaged DVD that was copy protected and no program could help me out. Finally I found 'CD/DVD Data Recovery'. It actually told me that my disk was 100.00% Corrupted!!!! I can see why! It then began ripping every file without error or some sort of crash. You simply choose the drive/file then you choose what speed/quality you want. Then you choose how many attempts if fail occurs and then simply choose a folder where you want the files to end up. It may take a while even on the 'Fast' Setting, but it sure does the job. It can probably recover a hard disk but I haven't tried.

PROBLEM #2
OK, say you just want copy a working DVD straight to another DVD. The Disc does not need recovering but you want to back it up. It has a copy protection so you can't use e.g. Nero Burning ROM.
SOLUTION #2
This one is simple, you can get a freeware program (Not a free trial or junk like that, simply a free program for those homers out there
).
I suggest you get this program (DVD Shrink):

SOLUTION #3
