How to Copy DVDs to CD
You can place any form of computer programming or file onto a CD. This even holds true for content on outside formats, such as USB flash drives and DVDs. However, if you want to copy the data from a DVD to a CD, the DVD must be a data disk. A movie DVD can not copy onto a regular CD. Not only is a movie DVD too large but the formatting is not supported by a CD.
