Make sure that you have the copy permissions and your own DVD and that you are only using this method for backups. To get free trial software: http://www.anydvd.com

I have yet to come across a protection of any CD or DVD that cannot be broken by BlindWrite software amd amny other such softwares.. So dont waste your time on it, you will not get anywhere unless you shed off a lot of bucks and get a customised protection from a firm, however, in due course of time that too will get broken. Go and have a look at this site which will give you a little insight on copy protections on CDs\n"http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_protections.shtml".

Most DVDs are copy-protected so that you can't do that, since it's a form of theft.  If it's your own content, that you are entitled to copy, then just copy the files onto your hard drive, then attach in the usual manner.

Have you tried DVD Decrypter?  I've never had a problem backing up any DVD.\n\nThe software isn't supposed to be distributed on the internet, but if you look around, you can find it.

Federal Courts have determined and ruled that copying commercial DVDs is illegal. It violates copyright laws. Pretty soon you won't even be able to get the software to accomplish this! The original DVD will not be modified in any way and most today have anti-copy encryption included in it. The copy can be detected as a copy, since the program will remove the anti-copy encryption as it records from the original.

I use http://www.dvd-cloner.com because it burns and copies copyrighted DVDs. It has the CSS decryptor.\n\nTry the trial version and if you like it, then just contact me.

You need DVD ripping software.  Google "DVD Decrypter".  Use that program and it will save any DVD you have to your hard drive.  Enjoy!  \n\nNOTE: DO NOT USE THIS INFORMATION FOR ILLEGAL PURPOSES.

there are lots of programs out the to allow you to make backup copies of your DVDs, icopy is one of them, but in most cases they won't allow you to copy copr-righted disks. to do this you will need a program to rip the DVD to disk this program will remove the copy protection. once you have this done you can then burn the copy back to a new disk. If you are using a single layer DVD ( i.e. 4.7 Gb ) then you will also need to compress some of the data as most DVDs are approx 9Gb. a good program to try for the ripping would be DVD decrypter, available as freeware.\n\nI should mention that it is illegal to make copies of DVDs unless you own the original and that the copy is for your own personnel use and not for selling.\n\nthere that's covered my ass.\n\ngood luck

This is legal only if you own the original:\n\n'DVD shrink' copies most DVDs, if it fails due to copy protection download and run AnyDVD in the background and it will work. Search Google for them.

Down load DVD Shrink, it is free and will remove the copy protection from the DVD's. They will be a 4.7 Gig file on you computer. You can watch them from the HD with something like Power DVD. Or you can burn them to DVD using your DVD writer to DVD's! :)

To copy a DVD, you will need a DVD burner.\n\nPlease note that current DVD burning programs on the market (such as Nero and Roxio) will not allow you to duplicate copy-protected DVDs.

try this RipIt4Me\nget here\nhttp://www.ripit4me.org/\n\nRipIt4Me is a freeware utility that helps you backup your copy protected DVDs.\n\nRecently released DVDs are now very often equipped with stronger copy protections - such as ARccOS™ and RipGuard DVD. Programs like DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter cannot handle these types of discs.\n\nWith the help of RipIt4Me, ripping these DVDs will be a very easy task. The program is fully automated and the wizard will guide you through all the necessary steps involved. If you prefer, there is also a true "1-Click" mode that will perform all the involved steps automatically for you.
