How To Copy a Copy Protected DVD
December 27th, 2007I bet that you have tried to copy a DVD before, but didn’t succeed because it was either copy protected or it failed without clear reason. In a previous post I have described how to copy a DVD to an iPod, but here’s a way to simply backup your DVDs to DVDs. There are two main problems with copying DVDs, one is copy protection and two is that commercial DVDs have larger storage capacity than regular DVDs that you can burn at home. The media industry uses DVD copy protection technology that makes it *very* difficult to copy DVDs, yet most copyright laws allow owners to make backups or their property. There are a lot of wrong reasons for copying or backing up DVDs, but there are also many good reasons. If you have young children then you would know the value of backing up your DVDs and so here’s how to do it using DVD43 and DVD Shrink. For free!.
1) Remove copy protection using DVD43
DVD43 gets rid of the copy protection nonsense. If you try to run DVD Shrink without decryption software you may get “DVD Shrink encoutered an error and cannot continue: Copy protection error“. Once DVD43 is installed (which requires a reboot) it runs in the backround and removes any copy protection.
2) Compress and copy using DVD Shrink
DVD Shrink compresses commercial DVDs to fit on to a regular 4GB DVD. Doom9 has an excellent article on how to use DVD Shrink.
