DVD Duplication

You need to use a ripping program such as DVD Backup or Mac The Ripper to copy the DVD to your hard drive, you can then use Toast to burn a DVD of the VIDEO_TS folder if it's small enough, or use a program such as DVD2oneX or Popcorn to shrink it to fit in a DVD-R.

i own the movie the forgotten. I was trying to make a backup of it, as i do with every one of my dvd's. but it doesnt let me, it says bad sectors write written intentionally to this disk. does this mean i cannot copy it?

That's entirely the point, in some countries it is illegal to make back-up copies of any media, DVD included, the "bad sector" trick is one way of stopping easy copying.

Sadly, most copying is done for piracy purposes, not as back-up or for convenience.

It's OK to discuss the ins and outs of ant-piracy measures and discuss the issues here, but please don't ask for information on how to circumvent these measures, it's not allowed in these forums.

Sorry

I didnt mean to be bending the rules, i was just trying how to figure out how to copy my DVD.... i apologize
