    I'm working for a physical therapy clinic and we have shot tons of DVDs that we now want to copy (300+) I have one licensed copy of Nero and that's it. Is there some free/open source software that will just copy non-copy-protected DVD's? I cannot afford more Nero licenses but I have 4 computers that can burn DVD's. Suggestions?

      If you just copy the files onto your HDD and then use Windows to burn them, won't that do it ?

        I know there's command line stuff for linux, would that work (I can't recall the name, DVDcss or something like that - I'm sure googling will turn it up)? If it's a requirement that it work on windows, then I don't know, maybe some of the linux versions have equivalent windows ports that work under cygwin?

              Use http://www.imgburn.com/[^] You can create a .iso file from a physical disc, and then simply burn that .iso file to other DVD media (saves havng two DVD drives in one machine). It's free, so no licensing to worry about.

                See if there's a cygwin port, you'll get better performance and less hassle than having to fiddle with a VM instance (I think, I'm guessing a bit here).

                    Windows has burned DVDs since XP. The question is, does it create DVDs that will play in a DVD player ?

                            ImgBurn or InfraRecorder is what I use. InfraRecorder is very simple but works like a charm. It will work for a straight DVD to DVD copy just fine. ImgBurn is more complex but gives you many more options. Both are free as in free beer and work on Windows XP, Vista, 7 (32 and 64-bit). For your purposes I'd go with InfraRecorder. Neither of them require .net.

                              DVDDecrypter[^] should be able to create an ISO from the DVD and then burn it. Cheers, Drew.

                                      I think XP and DVD's depended on what your computer set-up was, if you even had a DVD reader, etc. I still have XP on a laptop and I can copy DVD's to my hard-drive. Maybe some additional drives need to be downloaded or something like that?

                                        Seconded (look at Copy Disc -> to HDD, it's not immediately obvious how to create an ISO for easy repeat burning). As an alternative, DVDDecrypter is perfect for ripping any DVD protected or not followed by ImgBurn. Either way you will want to create an image to speed up the process if you're making many copies of the same disc.

                                          I may be wrong, but I think XP can burn DVD movies via Movie Maker. However, you cannot burn data DVD's by default with XP.
