Why we need to copy dvd? Yes, we want to backup the wonderful dvd movies(just like Disney DVD), because we are worried about the dvd will be damaged by our carelessness. Also we want to copy dvd movie which was borrowed from our friends, because we love it so much.
Someone maybe ask, how can i copy a protected DVD? When i simply copy it, it says it is protected. At first we should know how to protect dvd?
From WIKIPEDIA, we could find some information at the "DVD'security". It said, "the Content Scramble System (CSS) is a Digital Rights Management (DRM) and encryption system employed on almost all commercially produced DVD-video discs. We couldn't copy dvd easily.
The CSS prevents byte-for-byte copies of an MPEG (digital video) stream from being playable since such copies do not include the keys that are hidden on the lead-in area of the restricted DVD.
It provides a reason for manufacturers to make their devices compliant with an industry-controlled standard, since CSS scrambled discs cannot in principle be played on noncompliant devices; anyone wishing to build compliant devices must obtain a license, which contains the requirement that the rest of the DRM system (region codes, Macrovision, and user operation prohibition) be implemented."
Also it lists some tools on decrypting protected dvd to play dvd videos. Such as DVD Decrypter, DVD Region Free, both them could copy a DVD to a hard drive and remove CSS encryption, region codes and user operation prohibition.
