DVD copy

Could somebody please let me know a good software (any price is OK) that would create backups of my home made DVD's? I store the movie file in my external hard drive but need to make another copy as a DVD and store for good!.

thanks,

drb

(hope I am not off topic here. since I use Vegas, thought could get some help here)

Just make an extra DVD for your archive. You can burn another using either the disc or its files as a master.

Not sure what you mean. You can use DVDA to burn a copy of your mpeg2 encoded movies and then I believe you could extract the files from the dvd if you needed to. There's also Nero if you just want to make a copy of a dvd- so long as it's not copy protected. But that doesn't seem to be a problem in your case.
Is this what you're asking about?

If it's not copy protected you can you Roxio, or just copy the files to a directory and use it as a source for DVD Architect.

Don't forget about DVDShrink, freeware. It has come in real handy for me going back to older DVDs and remaking them again, not to mention re-authoring quickly. And yes, that's all I use it for.
