How to Make Copies of a Wii Disc

Right now Wii games are fun to play and very popular, which in turn makes them very expensive. Unfortunately, the game discs are also very fragile and easily scratched, and it's well-known how well little kids take care of things. Over time the scratches and smudged fingerprints will cause these costly items to stop working. When this happens, you could take the time out of your day and the money out of your pocket to replace the damaged game, or you could be proactive and back up your games on DVD-Rs now before they are destroyed. Most of the commonly used DVD burning programs will not allow you to burn Wii games, but there are a few out on the market that will allow you to accomplish this task. Once you have the correct software the process is relatively simple.
