If you mean save to a file yes sometimes you can. But usually you will get a Cyrillic redundancy error if you try to copy and past. If you have the right burning software like Nero ( 9 or 10 you can but if its copyrighted you have to know how to do it sometimes Nero won't burn copyrighted material. You have to open the DVD in explorer and copy all the folders except the one that has copy-write script and I can't tell you which one it is. But it's not hard to figure out. It's much easier with something like DVD shrink. Hope that helped some. Good luck. Anything can be done if you have the right info and tools.
