back up cd/dvd

[sonoma1993]

what program can i used to backup my games cd's and dvd's to turn them in iso files. I want to use daemon tools to play my games cd/dvd instead of the actual disc.

I use DVD Decrypter to rip my DVDs to ISO format. I'm not sure about CDs, though.

Alcohol 120% (for games)

/thread

It also mounts images like Daemon Tools so you wont need Daemon Tools anymore (it uses essentially the same service too)
As long as the CD/DVD reader CAN CORRECTLY READ THE COPY PROTECTION YOUR FINE.

However, recently (especially with DVD's) this doesn't work anymore (like Securom/Starforce (unpopular now)/Not sure about Safedisc/other custom coding)
Thats when we go here:

Also, Y.A.S.U. is the greatest tool ever made

Edit:
As said above, nothing beats DVD Decrypter for DVD movies.
Even though they removed it from the web, you can still get the last version on Doom9.

Does Alcohol 120% rip to .ISO? I looked around and all I could fin was .mds and .ccd, no .iso option. Am I missing something?

Sometimes it does IIRC.

But mdf/mds is it's native format so there really isn't a problem with it.
Probably better for the copy protections anyway.
