How To Copy Your DVD Movies To Your Hard Drive and Play Them From Your PC

Sometimes you may not want to copy a DVD movie to a blank DVD. Oftentimes, you may want just to archive and organize your DVD movies on to your Hard Drive instead. Actually, it is not a bad idea to do so if you have the hard drive space.

The advantages of doing this are:

• You have a safe backup of your movie stored safely on your PC where it can't get scratched – like a physical DVD.
   
• You can go to your archive and quickly burn a copy to a blank DVD with 1Click DVD Pro if you wanted to.
   
• You can view any of the movies in your archive directly from your PC.

This article and accompanying video will show you how to archive (rip, burn, copy – all the same thing) your DVD movies to your hard drive and then view them right from your PC.

1Click DVD Copy Pro

In my opinion, 1Click DVD Copy Pro is the best tool for the job of archiving (backing up) your DVD movies to your hard disk. Yes, there are other ripping tools that will do the job; but what about later when you may want to burn a copy from your archive to a blank DVD? You have to buy another program.

Get the best tool now that does it all and you don't have to worry about purchasing other tools. Besides, 1Click DVD Copy Pro does a better job ripping and it does it fast!

So, use 1Click DVD Copy Pro as your tool to rip, backup, copy, and archive your DVD movies to your hard drive.

VideoLAN VLC Player

In order to play your ripped DVD movies from your hard drive you will need a video Player that will do this. VideoLAN VLC Player is a free player that does the job beautifully.

There are other players that will do the job such as PowerDVD and WinDVD, but they are not free. So, if you don't have them, use VideoLAN VLC Player. You can download it directly here. (This is an immediate download. This free software has no spyware or malware associated with it. So it is safe to download and install)
