Simple question for some, What simple as heck software can I download to rip and burn a DVD quickly?

My husband is usually the man for the job, but I need to copy a DVD for a friend for Christmas, and he is too busy trying to reformat the hard drive on my laptop and download drivers and such, says he doesn't have his software and it's time consuming. I'm OK on computers, not a dummy, but not super technical at all. Especially when it comes to terminology and where things are located. Please recommend an effective way to do this that maybe a fourth grader could handle?

    I think you need kind of the most easiest DVD Ripper Plus DVD Burner to help you, and I believe that Daniusoft Media Converter Ultimate is the right combo for you, what you do is just a few clicks and you can click "Find Target" to find where the file is located. So, I guess it could help you. And you can even check this detailed tutorial on how exactly to finish ripping DVD and burning DVD: http://www.daniusoft.com/guide/media-converter-ult...

    If you're using Windows you can use Windows Movie Maker, Nero or some such prog like that. You can also use DVDVideoSoft from here:

    Hope this helps. Good Luck!

    EDIT: BTW, the slower you burn a DVD, the better quality you will get. That's why Nero is suggested and even bundled on certain makes of computers.

    Source(s): I use DVDVideoSoft for simple stuff and Nero for more complex stuff.
