How to Make a Backup of a Film

There are various playing methods available to watch films ranging from televisions to video game consoles to handheld devices. To watch the movies on handheld devices, you must create a copy or backup of the film on your computer. The backup is also useful to avoid losing a DVD collection because of scratches or accidents to the original film. The process, known as ripping DVDS, is relatively simple and uses only free backup software.
