This tutorial video will show you how to copy a DVD on a Mac using DVD Fab. Click the link at the beginning of this description to go straight to the DVD Fab download page.

When the install is complete you can start it up from your desktop by double clicking on the DVD Fab icon.
In this video we’ll be utilizing the DVD Copy feature of DVD Fab so when the applications list pops up you’ll choose DVD Copy. Next, insert a DVD movie into your DVD drive. It’ll analyze it and then it will show up in the DVD Fab screen. There are a few different options that you can choose from when you want to copy a DVD on your Mac using DVD Fab. You can choose Main Movie if you just want to copy the movie itself without any of the DVD menus, scene selections, bonuses, etc. I’m going to show you how to use the full disc option so you can copy the DVD on your Mac and then burn the DVD to a DVD-R or DVD-RW. This essentially makes an exact copy of any DVD movie.
So choose the full disc option then go down to the Output section and make sure that it’s set to DVD 5 so you can copy it to a normal DVD-R or DVD-RW blank disc. If you plan on copying and burning the DVD immediately to a blank disc you can leave this as the default, as the Mac DVD drive. Or if you plan on saving the DVD on your Mac as well as burning it onto a blank DVD disc later, you can change it to a folder and save it to that folder then burn it. Next, click Start and it will copy the DVD on your Mac. Once the copy is finished we can burn it to a blank DVD disc
The reason I like DVD Fab so much when it comes to copying DVDs is because it always stays up to date so it can copy any DVD movie, it compresses the DVD so you can burn it onto a normal DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, it’s very fast, and it keeps the quality high. Once the copy is complete, insert a blank DVD into your DVD drive. It should say, “Detecting writable media” then it will automatically recognize your blank DVD, and it will start the burning process. It will burn the DVD movie that you just copied onto that blank DVD. Okay when the burn is complete you’ll have an exact duplicate copy of your DVD. Easy!
You can copy any DVD movie with this application: movies, TV shows, etc. Now you can make perfect backups of all your DVDs so you don’t have to worry about losing your precious DVD collection. Make sure you go ahead and register for the full unlimited version of this application. It’s definitely worth it, and when you register you’ll be able to get that coupon code for a special discount. It doesn’t just do DVD copies either. It has a Ripper as well so you can copy any DVD movie to a video file and put it on an iPad, iPhone, Android smartphone & tablet, etc. Enjoy!
