Copy Protected DVDs Are Able To Be Backed Up For Individual Use

Posted By: Isaiah Henry | Posted On: 2008-09-15 | Article ID: 94524

DVD players and other forms of home entertainment are a huge part of family life today, and no wonder. Theater prices are soaring so high, that many people decide to wait for the movie to come out on DVD, rather than paying through the nose to go to the Cineplex.

You can burn a backup copy, that�s what you can do. Yes, DVDs are copyrighted. Yes, they now come with special copyright infringement protection on them. Copying a DVD is illegal, isn�t it?

What if the movie�s no longer on screens, even in the dollar theaters? What if the movie is no longer available for sale? You�re stuck, right?

Wrong. With the high cost of movie tickets, more and more people find it cheaper to wait until the movie comes out on disc and buy it on DVD. Watching films on DVD does have some advantages. You can watch it on your schedule, not the theater�s. You don�t have to worry about people behind you chatting so loud you can�t hear the film. And, of course, you can watch the movie again and again and again, without paying any extra money.

Why spend the money and go to all that trouble? Consider this: what if your movie has been watched so often, the disc becoming worn? Or, what if the disc has scratches? Yes, you could simply buy another copy of the movie.

What if the movie was no longer available for sale? Burning a backup copy can refresh the movie and give it a longer shelf life. First, as I mentioned, you need to buy decrypting software. Remember, this software is available for people to protect their DVD investment. Copying a DVD isn�t illegal if it�s for personal use only.

Now you�re next question is �How do I decrypt the disc?� You will need to purchase decrypting software to remove the protection files. Availability of decryption software may seem strange, but remember it�s there to protect personal property, NOT for personal gain.

What you have left should be the film, and only the film. Shrink these files back to their 1/4 normal size, and transfer to a blank DVD disk. That�s it, you have just burned a backup copy of a copy protected DVD.

Now that the movie files are on your computer, delete everything that has nothing to do with the film, particularly the protection software. Then the next time you want to burn a backup copy of this movie, it�ll be simple.

In addition to utilizing your computer as a backup copy burner, there are other devices that can unlock the protection protocols for DVDs. One of the most popular is a special DVD recorder that can strip off the protection and burn a copy of the movie, all while you�re watching it! Technology is so cool.

Once you master the process of creating backup copies for you DVDs, you can watch your favorite flicks without concern about wear and tear or damage to the disc. You can always burn a backup copy!
