problem when archiving a commercial DVD
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to archive a commercial DVD. I used Roxio Creator to make a copy on a DVD R DL. I used the Copy Disk functionality, not the Save and Burn Image functionality. Everything went fine, I did not get an error message. However the DVD player of my PC does not play the DVD I created. I am guessing that this may be caused by protections on the commercial DVD. Could it be a problem with Windows Media player? How hard is it to archive a commercial DVD? I am surprised that there was no alert from Roxio Creator, does that make sense? I am going to try to play the DVD on a different DVD player. I greatly appreciate your help. |

problem when archiving a commercial DVD
Just about every commercially available DVD is copy protected, and
depending upon where you live, breaking that copy protection (even for uses that should normally be covered under fair use, if your country's copyright law has such concepts) may be illegal. That said, there are tools such as DVD Decrypter that are free (if you can find them) and can solve your problem. William |

DVDDecrypter, in conjunction with DVDShrink and RipIt4me work very well on the majority of titles (RipIt4me has a one-click option, and invokes the other apps to do their bits, at the same time as removing the protection) If you can't find them, email me (put newsgroup in the subject line to bypass my spam filters though, if you don't mind...) |
