How to Burn a Blu Ray Movie to a DVD

Blu-Ray is the new format of video media. It provides a crystal clear picture and audio that were not available on the basic DVD format. However, since Blu-Ray is the newest innovation, it is currently more expensive than regular DVDs. Because of this, it is even more important to be able to back up your Blu-Ray discs in case they break or get damaged. You can easily burn a Blu-Ray movie to a DVD.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer with DVD burner
• Blu-Ray movie

1. Download or purchase a Blu-Ray decrypter. You can download DVDfab, which is a free Blu-Ray decrypter, at islnet.com.
