How to Copy a DVD to an AVI File Using Nero
Nero software offers multiple tools to convert, upload, download and create DVDs, yet there is no direct option to copy a DVD directly to an AVI file. The only way to do this is by using applications within the Nero software, Nero Recode and Nero Vision. The process may seem complicated, but it is easy and will turn the DVD into an AVI file within a couple of hours.
