I was on vacation and I filmed a lot, i got my tapes (miniDV) converted into DVDs but I need copies for my family. I've heard that i could do this on my laptop, but I'm not sure how, or if there is any software that I need to download/buy. If anyone knows my best option, instead of paying someone to do it I would appreciate it.
 
first you need to check if your laptop can burn DVD's just go to my computer and if their is somewthing like DVD-RAM or DVD-RW or DVD+RW or DVD-/+RW or DVD+/-RW+ DL you can burn DVD's just go to windows media player put in your dvd and go under the rip and it will let you upload the DVD's contents to your computer then insert a blank DVD and go under burn find your movie and click start burn. that shoudl do it.

Also when you check if you can burn DVD's if it says DVD-RW buy dvd's that have DVD-RW written on it if its DVD+RW get dvd's with a +RW instead of -RW if its +/- get eather they will both work .
 
you ma be able to go to a local hobbie shop they might have a copier its like 4.99-13.99

There are cases, when you feel that you should make a copy of your personal movie DVDs to make sure that the original ones don’t get bad and that you don’t lose your favorite movie. However, there is a small problem when it comes to making the backup copy of any DVD and i.e. that a DVD gets uncompressed and becomes bigger in size and it fails to get back on the other copy of the DVD.

There are few things which you can do to make sure that you can get exact copy of the movie DVD and that too without the lose of quality of the picture and these steps & softwares can help you in that :

1. Make the virtual drive & store it on your hard disk : You can always make use of various virtual drive softwares and make the backup of the DVD and store it on your computer’s hard drive. However, the problem is that it may take up to 8–9 GB of space of the hard drive. Here are some of the virtual drive software :

Daemon Tools (Freeware)
Virtual CD (Shareware)
2. Copy the content of the DVD and write it on two DVDs : This can be one scenario, where you can copy the content of the DVD and using your DVD writing software, you can make the individual copy of the movie. Mostly, you get various ads or small clippings from the movie too and you can just keep them separate and just copy the VOB files (the actual movie) and then using your DVD writing software, write those files on the other DVD. Just make sure that you don’t make the Data disc using the software instead choose the option of Making DVD VIDEO. Because you’ll be leaving the extras and only concentrate on the actual video, then you’ll be able to make the copy of the DVD on two of them.

3. Using software which can create the direct copies : There are various software which are available and can make the copies of the DVD by removing some unwanted things (again the same unwanted episodes, the menu etc.) and then compressing the DVD content on the fly and writing it on to the backup disc. Here’s the list of the softwares :

DVD Shrink (Freeware)
1Click DVD Copy (Shareware)
DVD Cloner (Shareware)
These are the ways of making the backup of your favorite movies, in case you are aware of any other then feel free to share it in the comments section.
 
i think you can copy the film on to your laptop first then burn it on as much dvds you can one by one.
 
Buy a blnk disc. then put the real one in the first slot then blank one in 2nd. then click BURRN.
