Copy Favorite Encrypted DVD Multimedia For Backups

by Isaiah G. Henry

In our house, we have lots of motion picture discs. Purchasing a DVD, when it comes out on sale, is a lot cheaper than taking the entire family to the theater. Although we have quite a collection, from several different genres, some sit on the shelf and collect dust. The others are played until they start skipping scenes or get stuck. A disc cleaner and polisher helps, but eventually the best of our selection will cease to work, and the store will no longer have that particular disc for sale. Therefore, learning how to copy a protected DVD movie can ensure a backup copy will always be available.

I guess we are not the only family, which has been collecting DVDs over the years and which wonders how to preserve the precious ones. Quick fixes are a temporary solution and unfortunately they can�t prevent the DVDs from wearing out. Buying 2-3 copies of each favorite DVD is way too expensive. So what is the solution � Nero, of course!

It is very unpleasant that you have to break the protection codes of DVDs if you want to make a copy of it. But it is quite logical that there will be protection codes. It can�t be the other way, when so many people are making tons of pirated copies and this hurts recording studios. Of course, recording studios will take the measures to protect themselves!

But, as long as making a duplicate is for personal use only, consumers should have the means to create a backup of any and every movie on the entertainment shelf. Fortunately, the programmers, that have been hired to protect the companies' movie discs, have equally talented counterparts. Thus, several good software solutions have been developed to crack the codes, so the data can be transferred from the DVD to a computer's hard drive.

If you are not familiar with the process of copying DVDs, you might wonder why you can�t copy the DVD directly to a blank disk. The reason is that you need to compress the DVD first and then copy it because if you don�t compress it (and remove all the junk), it will not fit on the blank disk.

Fortunately, when users copy all DVD using Nero, the headaches and discouragements are a thing of the past. With one click, people can follow the directions one step at a time, click when required, and have a usable copy like the original. Now, do not worry if a favorite video is no longer on the market. Enjoy watching it for the umpteenth time, and know a good duplicate is waiting, when the time comes for a replacement.

Copying a protected DVD is not difficult. Yes, it takes time but it is much better if you save your protected DVDs by making copies of them and be able to watch them many, many times than to lose a favorite DVD of yours. After you master copying protected DVDs, you will see that this is a great way to save your favorite movies!
