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.
There are many families like ours ? with huge collections of favorite DVDs, which become scratched and useless. Quick fixes like cleaners and polishers can help but they do not solve the problem. Purchasing multiple copies of the same DVD is too costly. But what about Nero? Have you heard about it?
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!
My idea is that making spare copies for personal use is OK. I see that many people share this belief and the good news is that there are talented programmers (and even whole companies), who know how to break the protection codes. As a result there are several good programs, which can help you copy a protected DVD to your hard drive and from there - to a blank DVD.
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.
But if you use Nero to copy your protected DVDs, you can forget about all these concerns. Just a few clicks are required to copy your precious DVD. And what is more important ? the copy will be as good as the original and you can watch it whenever you want and as many times as you like because you will have peace of mind that if you damage one disk, you have a backup.
Copying a protected DVD might seem too much of a hassle but it isn?t because if you don?t do it, the only alternative is to lose that movie. This doesn?t sound very exciting, right? Isn?t it much better when you can watch your favorite movie over and over again and not worry about damaging it?
