| How can i copy a protected DVD? When i simply copy it, it says it is protected. Usually i back up the dvd and then burn the image file. I have been using DVD SHRINk to copy it. Unfortunally it's not working now... Any suggestions? | ||

| You need to update. dvdshrink isn't updated anymore.
ripit4me dvdfabdecrypter those are two current freebies generally used here anydvd is payware that is updated regularly also. | ||

| what program shud i use to burn it after backing it up with dvdfabdecrypter ?? | ||

| well dvdfabdecrypter only copies it to your harddrive. You need to use something like imgburn.
You can also use old dvddecrypter for burning in conjunction with dvdshrink AFTER you rip the disc to the harddrive. They are still useful tools they just aren't updated anymore for the newest protection schemes. | ||

| Wait i can't seem to get it to work... DVDFab doesn't seem to rip it as a iso file. How do i load it with imgburn? | ||
| guns1inger posted 2007 Mar 12 21:22 | ||
| Set it to build mode, and make the target a disc instead of an ISO | ||

| It still doesn't seem to work, i go to build mode, then what? Does it write it as a iso file? | ||

| The best software to copy protected DVD is ANYDVD. Some dvd have laser marking at the inner edge which you can mask with toothpaste or a dry wipe marker pen. Hey presto the dvd can now be ripped by many software including dvdshrink. :D | ||

You have some proof of this, of course ? | ||

| Putting a disc smeared with toothpaste in my player seems like a great idea. Maybe peanut butter would work better? | ||

| I think mauricefra is confusing some CD audio copy protection with DVD copy protection. Because some audio CDs with copy protection were manufactured as hybrid discs (they appear to be CD-ROMs to PCs but normal audio CDs to CD players), it was supposedly possible to mess up the data part of the disc, which would become unreadable on a PC and force the PC to treat it as a normal CD audio disc. There are better ways to defeat CD audio copy protection than this. | ||

| Yes i have copied many protected dvd's e.gthe movie "Transformers" and "Gregorian the Masterpieces(LIve in Prague)". If you want to use toothpaste, wait till it dries or as I said use a dry wipe marker pen. Just look at the DVD for the tell-tales marks. The protection can also be on the outer part of the DVD as well as on the inner ring.Works 100%. :) | ||

| your "transformers" movie is most likely not protected to begin with... | ||
| AlanHK posted 2007 Aug 24 07:40 | ||
Then it's a gritty powder. Just what I want on a disc spinning at thousands of RPM, flinging grit into the works. | ||
| mauricefra posted 2007 Aug 25 08:53 | ||
DVD Box actually said Protected DVD. I have tod you guys you can also use a black marker pen. Someone asked a question and i gave the solution. Anybody can LOL but it works. You have to pysically mask the Laser protection when software doesn"t work. :cry: | ||

| There is no laser protection. Period. Now, let's talk about UFO's and the JFK assassination. | ||
