How to Burn Copy Protected DVDs

In many countries is against the law to reproduce copy protected material for the purpose of selling it to third parties. Some countrys' laws only allows for you to make one backup copy of any software or media for personal and archival purposes. Therefore by obtaining this information you acknowledge that you are the sole "Owner" of all DVD copyrighted media that might be duplicated and in no way is this site responsible for any violations of copyright infringement.

So... How to burn copy protected DVDs.

Copy protected DVDs can be backed up using a variety of methods but the easiest and the most used method is to obtain a dvd copy software that will produce a perfect 1:1 backup everytime with only a single click of the mouse. What happens is that certain dvd copy software contains a dvd ripper or dvd decryption utility which descrambles the dvds copy protection or css encryption and allows the software to burn a perfect copy of any dvd... including copy protected dvds.

However, some of the newer and highly recommended dvd copy software have stopped providing their software with a DVD Decryption or dvd ripper because of legal issues that surround it. The reason is that some companies which have included a dvd ripper in their software have been pulled off of the market resulting in loss of updates and support.

But there is a very easy solution for this: You need to simply download and install a dvd ripper, which you can get for free, which once it's installed it will actually become part of the dvd copying program and enable it to burn copy protected dvds. There are two such dvd rippers that work in this way... DVD43 & AnyDVD. The difference? DVD43 is free while AnyDVD is not, but they are both very good.

The more harder method for burning copy protected dvds is to get a free decryption utility such as
dvd decrypter that allows you to decrypt and copy DVDs to your PC's hard disk. From there you can watch them with the likes of WinDVD and PowerDVD, or you can write them back to DVD or CD with another software like dvd shrink. This method of burning a dvd requires many steps and is not nearly as easy or nearly as fast as the first method of using a dvd copying software, but nevertheless, it is free and worthy of considering.
