Here I will introduce three ways to you for making a digital copy of homemade DVDs, workout DVDs, TV shows and discs you purchased from whatever platform, etc. and then you will have access to your DVD via TV, tablet or computer without DVD drive. So let's get started.
Introduction of Copying DVD to USB Flash Drive
First of all, insert the DVD into the disk drive and a USB into the USB port. Typically movies of up to 2 hours are 4.7GB. Others longer than 120 minutes come in 8.5GB. Make sure your USB drive has enough storage. For homemade and non-protected DVD, open your DVD and select the Video TS and Audio TS files in your disc, right-click and choose copy, then move to your USB disk and Paste what you have copied.
However, there are many cases that you can't successfully get full data, the files can't be accessed by a media player or DVD copy protections imposed on DVD. So for protected DVDs, you need third-party software, e.g WinX DVD ripper to digitize the DVD and save it in a preferable video format. If what you need is a digital copy to USB drives with exact same quality & data, the wise choice is converting DVD to ISO image, which produces an ISO file with the same size as the original folder.

For those who would like to shrink the DVD to best fit the USB capacity, then you should rip DVD to MP4, which reduce 80% of the original DVD size. The whole process is almost the same as copying DVDs to ISO, but here I would like to introduce more features for those who would like to edit DVDs for different use.
