It’s so good to know that more and more people are aware of backing up DVD in such a way as to prevent the source DVD from loss or scratch. One of DVD backup schemes is to copy DVD to VIDEO_TS folder. VOB file in VIDEO_TS folder thereby can be played on VLC or other common players directly or further burned into DVD. Let’s take a look at the best way to backup DVD to Video_TS on Windows 8.1/Mac Yosemite.

Copy DVD to VIDEO_TS Folder

Requirement: Pavtube DVDAid, which is all-in-one DVD ripping and DVD backup software

Pavtube DVDAid is an easy-to-use program, which just needs several clicks to complete the full disc copying. Since DVD movies released by Disney, Sony, Paramount, etc recently are all protected by copy protections, it is not an easy task for general DVD ripping software.
