How To Protect Treasured Home Movies With A Few Easy Steps

By Skinner Long

If you've read any of my articles by now, you know I am not a fan of "free" for anything I buy on the Internet. That is a four-letter word I don't like, especially when it comes to the best DVD movie burning software on the net. I say always look to reputable and reliable sources for all your burn copies whether it is for a DVD movie download or music CD.

Can you burn a copy protected DVD? Absolutely. You'll find many websites that offer DVD burning software with easy, user friendly interfaces and multiple features to give you quality results that matches the professional standards you find in retail stores. That means you now have a choice when it comes to watching your favorite DVD movies. You can rent a movie at your local DVD store and watch it once and return it, or you can purchase the burn software and watch the movie over and over again.

You will encounter several choices for the best DVD burning software so here are some questions you should ask before making your decision. Do you get the latest or recent movie releases? Are the DVD movies of professional quality? Is the software easy to install and don't take up large amounts of space? Are the movies easy to burn? Do they have customer support you can rely on? Are there free automatic updates?

Downloading your favorite movie to a DVD is quite simple with the best burning software. But first you must start with high quality brand disc's as the cheaper ones have a lot of defects that could hinder or even stop the burning process altogether. Never touch your disc but handle using the middle hole and edges of the disc. Also keep them protected from dirt and contaminants by keeping them stored in disc jackets.

Always use the "disc-at-once" mode that will be a better burn than your alternative, the "track-at-once" mode that may overlap the sectors between the tracks and result in the disc not playing on certain machines.

Also try to burn your DVDs using the slower speeds for the best quality. This will result in the disc lasting longer and able to be played in more machines. Don't be concerned that the disc has more space left after your burn. Only burn one movie on one disc.

With the growing popularity of movie burning, even movie distributors are joining on the bandwagon. They encourage this as they say it actually ends up reducing the expenses with recording, storing and selling the movies on digital discs.

Besides a motion picture entertainment experience, our kids are being taught in their schools with burns on biographies, to help them learn of famous people in history. Just think about it. We'll never have to go to the retail store for movies again. With the popularity of big screen TVs, we can watch our burn copies right in the comforts of our homes without having to go to the theaters. - 29967
