I heard "DVD Decrypter" is the tool to use to copy your own commercial DVD to your hard drive and decrypt it at the same time. The software might be kinda hard to find now cuz the software author was threatened by movie industry goons.  \nThe US Supreme court ruled in 1984 that you have a right to make archival recordings for your own use.

You could use DVD Shrink and compress the disk (it creates input files on your hard disk) plus it removes the Copy Protection Error found on the Disk plus if you specify what country it was originally intended for, the program removes the RCE Protection.(Regional Coding Enhancement)

Using a combo of programs (i.e. anydvd & DVD Clone or DVD shrink & nero) it is easy to make a "backup of your own property and/or DVDs” it is illegal to reproduce copyright material w/o permission\n\nthese are free programs or programs you can get for less then $30

You can use http://www.dvd-cloner.com or http://www.download-it-free.com/dvdshrink/\n\nThey are both good tools, but I have the registration code for the cloner.

There are far too many options to list here.  My suggestion is to read through some of the DVD backup guides available on doom9.org\n\nhttp://www.doom9.org/index.html?/guides.htm

If you want copy a protected CD for "backup purposes" you should check out programs such as Alcohol 120%, Clone CD and Clone DVD, Virtual Drive and so on. They are not free unfortunately.

Try WinISO, I've made backups of my program cd's or dvd's this way.  It turns it into an .iso file which you can mount if you have daemon tools.\n\nhttp://ts.searching.com/torrent/232407/WinISO_5_3_and_Registration_Info\nhttp://ts.searching.com/torrent/538950/Daemon_tools_3_7

(IGNORE SPELLING MISTAKES)\nEDIT: came back to give a better link for DVD FAB DECRYPTER.\n\nFirst things first. I assume you are an honest person and you only purchased that writer to make backup copies of those expensive movies you purchase, because you like to support the industry. You are a good person you will not use this knowledge to copy a dvd you rented from the video shop. That is illegal and in such a case i could get intotrouble for sharing this information with you :) lol.\n\nWhat you are about to read is the method i use it may not be the best but it affords you some control and you learn about something. this is not an all in one solution. if you want that stop reading.\n\nFirst off the basics:\nMost DVD's contain copy protections. These days they all have CSS (Content Scrambling System). They also have  region protection but that's not important. there are other protections as well but i wont name them since they are easy to beat with decrypter.\n\nThe two protections you should worry about are Sony Archos and Macrovision Ripgaurd.\n\nYou will need to run third party software in the background to bypass these protections, depending on the software you are going to use.\n\nANYDVD (it also has it's own decrypter, but i don't use it), 30 DAY TRIAL (check out clone dvd while you are there)\nhttp://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html...\n\nDVD43 (DVD FOR FREE), FREE (I have not tested the new version)\nhttp://www.dvd43.com/\n\nInstall iether one of them and let them run in the background. i never let these programs start on windows startup. I ussually just open the one just before decryption. Update the one you choose regullarly as Sony and Macrovision also update thier protections. Updates might also be bet programmed to bypass difficult sectors as  the protections vary from disk to disk.\n\nokay we got that sorted. Next you need a decrypter if you want to put the files on the hard drive.\n\nDVD FAB DECRYPTER - FREE, NO SPYWARE \nI wish i could tell you to get DVD decrypter, but i see the link i ussually give no longer works. the shutdown Lightning UK ages ago so it is understanable, it was the best, DV FAB decrypter is also great, it can bypass SOny And Macrovison most of the time, but iuse third party software to help with the protection. DFD will put the DVD on your harddrive so you can use it later. you don't have to decrypt, you can skip this step if you like but it will make the next step take longer. This is also the safer option.\n\nhttp://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm\n\nIf you have decrypted the dvd, i.e. bypassed the security protections on the disk then your next step is to download shrink dvd. It will compress the video down to 4.37 GB so it can fit on a single layer DVD\n\nDVD shrink (It's free, with no bundled spyware)\nhttp://www.dvdshrink.info\nDVD shrink has a built in decrypter but if it finds a problem with the disk while decrpyting, it will waste a lot of your time as you won't know what's going on later on.\n\nIn shrink just open folder and point to whare you decrypted the dvd or open disk if you didn't\n\nIt will run through some processing. then you will see a list on the left hand side. you can use custom ratio to decrease the quality of your extra features so that your main title is better quality. you can also remove any unneeded audio streams like directors comments.\n\nLets break away for a moment. some of the dvd's you purchase come on Dual layer disks A dula layer disk can contain upto 8 GB of video. to get it down to 4.37 GB it has to re-encode the video to use a lower bitrate. Bitrate of the video and sound affects the size of the movie. the higher hte bitrate, the better the quality, and the more space that is required. Audio is never recompressed and rightly so. DTS will take the most space on a disk, but i prefer to leave it in. \n\nIn shrink it will show you what percetage artio you current title is to the original. try to keep it about 70% for the m

CloneDVD(to Make a DVD)  & AnyDVD (to remove copy protection) Downloads can be found here http://www.slysoft.com  Free trial for 21 days on both programs so you can try before you buy.  These two programs are very efficient and they are still putting out updates for the newest copy protections.  You can backup a DVD 9 to DVD 5 in about an hour and it can, if you desire keep all menus and  extras or you can just backup the main movie.  These 2 programs will set you back about 78 USD but are well worth it.

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".
