How to Copy a DVD to computer or iPad

This method is used to make legal copies of DVDs you own for your own personal use.

Step 1: You will need to download 2 free programs. The first program is called Handbrake and you can download it Here.

Step 2: Download the program dvdfab passkey from Here.

Step 3: Install both programs on your PC or MAC computer.

Step 4: Open the dvdfabpasskey program and then insert dvd.

Step 5: dvdfabpasskey will start and when this box shows press ok.

This box will then show and start to remove the protection so the DVD can be copied.

Step 6: Start the Handbrake program.

Step 7: Select the source button and choose your dvd.

The dvd will then begin to process and automatically select the main part of the movie.

Step 8: On the right hand side under presets is where you will decide what you are making your movie for.

Select Universal if you want to make a copy for itouch or an ipod classic.

Select iPad if you want a copy just for the iPad.

Select High Profile if you want to keep it on computer or watch it on your tv through a media device (i.e. xbox, blu ray player).

Step 9: After you have chosen your preset then hit the start button and handbrake will then begin to create the video file and you will be able to see the status at the bottom of the handbrake program.

It may seem like a lot of steps but I wanted to make sure anyone following this tutorial would know exactly how to create a dvd copy. If you have any questions or have any specific requests on how to do something on the computer or with electronics just leave a comment below.
