There are many programs out there that can convert DVDs to .avi files. Avi files are single files easily stored on your computer that can contain an entire movie, at low file size but high quality using a Divx or Xvid format usually.

They are the most common file that movies are stored in on computers. So common, in fact, that many DVD players can actually play them now, so you can backup DVDs to your computer, then burn them again to a DVD-Recordable disk and play them on your TV (if you have the right software).

A great and popular piece of software that can do all of this and much more (including video editing, burning...) is Movavi Videosuite. It is a fully-featured video editing product that is used by beginners and professionals alike.

It only takes a few steps to backup your DVDs to AVI files with Movavi Videosuite:

1. Run the Videosuite, click the DVD button and Add DVD. This will allow you to backup everything on the DVD. Choose the correct IFO or VOB files that you wish to copy.

2. Select the correct audio track for the movie.

3. Choose output format as AVI (DivX, Xvid, etc)

4. Select a proper video output path for the file you are saving to your computer.

5. Click 'convert' to start reading from the DVD and saving to your computer.

This is a great way to store DVDs in small file sizes which are still near-DVD quality. If you have a DVD burner and DVD-R DVDs, then you can burn several movies onto one disc!

Only backup movies that you are allowed to back up! Those are movies that you have originally purchased to watch. You are allowed to keep a single backup copy if something happens to the original.
