How to Burn a DVD With a DVDFab & Nero 8
Creating a copy of a video DVD requires software to backup and compress the DVD and software to burn the newly compressed video. DVDFab backs up and compresses the original DVD. An original video DVD holds 8 gigabytes of data. A typical recordable DVD only holds 4.37 gigabytes of data. Once the video is compressed, burn the compressed video to the blank DVD with Nero 8.
