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.

One of the first things you need to take into account when you are looking for a good DVD to CD copy program is the operating system on your computer. Currently the two most popular Windows operating systems are XP and Vista. You can find an online forum about your operating system and read the discussions there. Chances are that such forums contain the information you need but you should also have in mind that it is possible to find old and useless information there.

Windows Vista is somehow controversial because it is still not as good as its predecessor � Windows XP. It it true that Vista has a lot of great new stuff but this does not make users love it when it has limitations on DVD copying. For many users these limitations are the primary reason why they tried Vista and kicked ...
... it out of their computers, returing back to XP.

When you are looking for a good DVD to CD copying program, you can use a search engine because this way you will get really a lot of results. Download and install some of these programs. It is not mandatory but it is better, if you start with the programs, which offer a free trial. However, don't forget that it is common for free trials to limit some of the functionality, so don't let this mislead you about the real features 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.

Reading reviews about software is one more way to get an idea which program is good and which isn't, so maybe it is wise to do it before you download and install any programs.
