DVD Encryption

But to every DVD. They have Copy Protection, a Region Code so that the DVD can only be played in the region that it was made for and several other things.

Depending on where you live it may be illegal to make copies of DVD's and even Nero will not copy a DVD as it needs to be shrunk down to 4.7 GIG which is the size of a Single Layer DVD Blank.

Of course you can use the Dual Layer Blanks if you want to but many give problems in some DVD Players.

Here where it's legal to copy your own DVD's there are quite a few tools available to rip and decrypt DVD's ranging from Fab DVD Decryptor to DVD 43 a simple Goggle Search should show you what is available and what it costs. But you need to shrink the DVD as well as remove the encryption so you need something like DVD Shrink as a shrinking tool and DVD 43 or Any DVD as a utility to remove the encryption and region codes.

Currently the best DVD Copying tool is [b]DVD neXt Copy[/b] but it's also one of the most expensive around. This was previously knows and DVD X Copy but was ruled as Illegal by the US Courts so it's been moved offshore and is now sold over the Internet to whoever wishes to buy a copy from a country that isn't a signatory to the International Copyright Treaties. There are many other DVD Ripping and Decryption utilities available all you have to do is look.

Remember that [b]Goggle is your friend![/b]
