Necessary
- - CloneDVD program;
- - Plato DVD Copy program.
Instructions
Step 1
To copy protected files, you must use special software. One of the best programs for this is CloneDVD. Download it from the Internet and install it on your computer hard drive.
Step 2
Insert the disc containing the file you want into the optical drive of your computer. Wait for the media to spin up and then run the program. Next, in its main menu, check "Entire disk". A list of files on the disc will appear. From this list, select the one you want to copy.
Step 3
Next, click on the image of the folder next to the "Recipient" line. Select the directory where the copied files will be saved. Then click "Start". Now you just have to wait for the operation to complete. Its duration depends on the size of the files selected for copying. After the end of the procedure, you will see a notification that the files have been successfully copied. You will find them in the directory of your choice.
Step 4
Also a good program for copying protected data is called Plato DVD Copy. It is designed to copy mainly multimedia files. Download the program and install it on your computer hard drive.
Step 5
Insert the disc into your computer's drive. In the main menu of the program, click on the image of the folder next to the Working Folder line. A browse window will open. Select the folder where the copied files will be saved. Then, on the right side of the window, check the To hard disk item. After selecting these options, click Start.
Step 6
The disc burning procedure begins. Upon completion, all files will be saved in the selected directory.
