Usually it takes my computer only 20-30 minutes to backup a dvd. Starting today, it takes really long. I will start backing it up and about a half hour later it is 7% done. Does anyone know of anything that could be wrong or any solutions? Please hel!

Hello.

Maybe your burner's DMA is off.

Right click on My Computer and Select Properties.
Click the Hardware tab and then the Device Manager button.
Click the "+" beside IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
Right click on both the Primary and Secondary IDE Channels (one at a time) and select Uninstall.
Back in Device Manager, click the "+" beside the DVD/CD-ROM Drives.
Right click on the name of the DVD Burner and select Uninstall.
Restart the system.

The above should reset the drives and controllers.

Also make sure you have adequate hard drive space and that your disk is unfragmented.

Edit: Added

It could also be copy protection on the DVD you're attempting to backup. Are you using AnyDVD in the background? Are you ripping with DVD Shrink or are you processing an already ripped file(s)?

I am trying to make a copy of a dvd I already ripped and burned. The first time, I decrypted Annapolis with DVD Decrypter because DVD Shrink was not working. I am not using AnyDVD.

You shouldn't have any protections on the disk. They would have been removed first time around. Reset the drive and controllers as stated above. I assume the disk you're ripping from plays OK.

Thanks a lot, resetting the drive and the controllers fixed it. But I still don't understand how or why that solution worked.

Whenever a drive/controller experiences several communication errors in rapid succession, it reverts from a relative fast DMA (direct memory access) mode to a slower communication mode termed PIO (program input/output). The procedures you undertook reset the controllers to their default DMA transfer modes. What caused the comm failure? I have no idea, but if it happens again, try replacing the IDE cable the burner is on. Sometimes the ribbon cables get pinched. I prefer the round IDE cables but they are expensive.
