Finding dvd burner software can be a little bit more difficult than you might think. It is not that there isn't dvd burning software available. There are literally thousands of programs that will work as a software dvd burner. The problem is that the music and movie industries do not want you to be able to find quality dvd burner programs. Almost any piece of dvd player software that you find will work, but there are many dvd burner programs that have been disabled. They have been designed in such a way that they will not be able to bypass the copy protection on movies. This means that, even if you own a movie, you will not be able to make a backup copy of it using your dvd burner software. This makes the software almost completely useless!
When I first bought a software dvd burner, I was quite excited to use it. You see, a lot of my dvds were pretty old, and some of them had scratches on them. I figured that I could use my dvd burner software to create a backup copy of some of the more damaged ones. I also wanted to use the dvd burner software to get copies of movies that were out of print from friends. I figured that, if no one was releasing the movies and trying to make money off of them, there was nothing wrong with burning a copy for my own personal use.
That is why I was so disappointed when I tried to use the dvd burner software that I had bought. I paid quite a bit of money for the program – more than $50 dollars as I recall – yet it was completely worthless. Not only would the dvd burner software not burn most of the newer movies that I owned, but it would not even burn copies of older ones! It would actually try to log onto the Internet to make sure that a movie was not copyrighted before burning a backup of it for me! I found this quite irritating.
Ironically, I only found a functional dvd burner on a free software downloads site. Although the software cost me nothing at all, it worked much better than the one that I paid money for. It took me a while to find a good dvd burner software program, but once I did, burning dvds became almost effortless.
