Subject: RE: Tech: Copying DVD to hard drive
If you're copying them to a hard drive no problem. Use DVD Shrink and set it to the double layer setting so it doesn't actually compress any of your videos. You won't need to when you're putting them on a drive. What you will have to do is create a file for each program you copy that way or it will always want to put the new one over the top of the last one.

DVD Shrink (a newer version than I have been using on a Win XP computer - this is supposed to work with all Windows software, but it is from 2010 and your computer has Win8, doesn't it? You might have to test it.)

Once it's in your computer drive, use Windows Media Center and navigate to the files you want to watch and that should do it.

Scroll down to read about compatibility.
