Copying DVDs to CD is very simple when you have a reliable program. The good news is that such programs are abundant on the Net, so it is pointless to worry that you will not be able to copy your DVDs to CD. Actually, many programs allow to copy DVDs to various media, so just rest assured.

Your operating system � i.e. Windows XP or Windows Vista � is one of the things you need to think about when choosing a DVD to CD copying program. There is a lot of information and links to useful resources on the Net, so just browse a little and you will find many forums where users discuss their problems with a particular DVD copying program under a given operating system. However, don't blindly follow everything you read in a forum and always take the information with a grain of salt!

Windows Vista is still not as popular as Windows XP and many users simply hate it. There is no doubt that Vista comes with cute new functionalities, such as instant search, but one of the not so cute functionalities, which actually made many people hate it, is related to DVD copying restrictions. ...
... These restrictions made many XP users unhappy and there are millions of people who, after they have tried Vista for while, downgraded back to XP.

When you start looking for a good DVD to CD copying program, Google is your friend. Search for �DVD to CD copying program� and you will see how many such programs exist. Some of the search results you will find are for programs, which offer a free trial version. It is OK to download the trial version and give it a test drive before you make up your mind if you should purchase the program or not. But when you evaluate the trial, check if it has all the features of the program enabled or not because if they aren't you will be getting the wrong impression about the true potential of the program.

One of the things you need to watch out for is potential malware in free programs. Free programs often hide such nasties and DVD to CD copying programs are not an exception. So, if you are really keen about a free program, make sure you are downloading it from a reliable site. Install the program you have just downloaded and restart your computer, if the installation requires it. Chances are that you will not have problems with the installation but if you do, see if the Help sections do not contain the clue to your problem. If the Help section is not of much help, you can call the support and hope that their assistance with the installation will be more helpful. But since most DVD to CD copying programs are user-friendly, the apocalyptic scenarios that you might not be able to install the program are not likely.

Reviews are one more thing to consider when you are wondering which of the many DVD to CD copying programs are good and which aren't. So, it is certainly not a waste of time to read some reviews before you decide which program to download.
