Many programs are available that can allow you to backup your DVD movies to your computer. The most common form of backup file is the .AVI file, which can hold an entire movie by itself with low file size but high quality. AVI files typically use DivX or Xvid codecs to create the movies.

AVI files are probably the most common type of movie file that exists for storing large movie files. They are so common that many DVD player manufacturers include support for them, so you can play them on your TV (if you have the right buring software).

A great software program that can do all this is the Movavi videosuite. It can burn, edit, and copy videos, amongst many other things. It is used by people personally to backup their own DVD collections and also by professionals who edit and publish their own video.

Using Movavi Videosuite, there are only a few simple steps you need to take to backup DVD to AVI:

1. Run the Videosuite, click the DVD button and Add DVD. This will allow you to backup everything on the DVD. Choose the correct IFO or VOB files that you wish to copy.

2. Select the correct audio track in the correct language that you want in your AVI

3. Choose format for output (AVI is best)

4. Select a proper video output path for the file you are saving to your computer.

5. Click ‘convert’ to start reading from the DVD and saving to your computer.

You can use this method to store many DVDs on one disk if you like. DVDs are converted down to as little as 1/4 or 1/5 their original size but still maintain good quality, so you can reburn 4 or 5 movies to a single DVD-R disc and store more movies on less disks.

Only backup movies that you are allowed to back up! Those are movies that you have originally purchased to watch. You are allowed to keep a single backup copy if something happens to the original.
