Don't go for any of those free/demo/shareware version of the software, pay a little money and give u a peace of mind.\n\n\nPurchase 1ClickDVD ($59 US)  and then Download DVD43 free decryption software from the net.\n\nI give 1ClickDVD a 5 star rating.  Have been using it for few month alreay, no problem at all. \n\nRegards,\nRobert.

Well, this mostly depends on your DVD drive. Testing it is usually the quickest way to find out.\n\nThe problem is that a lot of newer drives are RPC2 drives these days. Some of these drives don't allow raw access to the drive until the drive firmware has done a region check.\n\nVLC uses libdvdcss and it needs raw access to the DVD drive to crack the encryption key. So with these drives, it's impossible to circumvent the region protection. (This goes for all software. You will need to flash your drives firmware, but sometimes there is no alternate firmware available for your drive).\n\nOn other RPC2 drives that DO allow raw access, it might take VLC a long time to crack the key. So just pop the disc in your drive and try it out.\n\nRPC1 drives should "always" work regardless of the region code.

First at all remembert that it is illegal in the US and in some other countries to "backup" the dvds.\n\nThere is a program call dvd decrypter that you can use to copy the DVD to your PC cracking the protection on them. You can not just copy the dvd to your pc. It is just simple as push a button.\n\nHowever most DVD are 7.2Gb and DVD-R generally are 4.5 Gb, so there is a program dvd-shrink that can be use to reduce to the desired size of the dvd. Here you can decide which part reduce most, you would prefer keep your main movie as the most quality available. You also can skip extras o additional languages to reduce the size.

There are many methods out there, most of them are expensive however.  The thing to keep in mind is that the data you put on a CD is meant to be read, and there will always be some enterprising hacker with nothing but time on his hands to figure out how to get that data off and do something else with it.\n\nThe only good way of reliably protecting that data is encrypting it, but keep in mind it will be useless to you as well, until it is decrypted, which makes it sort of pointless for most applications.\n\nIf this is software you are trying to protect, there are licensing schemes available.  There are some for media schemes as well, although it would take a bit of effort to set that up.

You first need to locate a copy-protect decryption program.  These are not sold in a store.

xilisoft does not decrypt dvds, so if the dvd is copyrighted you will keep encountering the problems. try getting a dvd decryptor program and then using xilisof to convert it for your ipod.

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.

The DivX package (codecs,player,etc.) used to come with a converter, I thought. I don't know how it dealt with copyright protection and such and they probably charge for it now anyway.\nDVDDecrypter_3.5.4 & DVDShrink32 were freeware to rip and manipulate CP'ed DVD's but I'm not sure about the conversion to DivX anymore. Probably not much help but you can E-mail me if you can't find anything. I may be able to help you.\n\np.s.: also worth a look is Gordian Knot, GNU open source I believe. Try sourceforge.net. Or is it sourceforge.org? I dunno'\n\n  Buffalo, buffaloman687-roam@yahoo.com

dvd shrink\n\nWhat is DVD Shrink?\n\nDVD Shrink is software to backup DVD discs. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc.\n\nDVD Shrink will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero. You can download a demo version of Nero here. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVD Shrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, or as an ISO disc image on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice.\n\nDVD Shrink is free software. You should never pay for DVD Shrink. Please refer to the License Agreement. \n\nWhy use DVD Shrink?\n\nMost DVDs are designed to prevent you from making copies. \n\nThe first preventative measure is encryption. Commercial DVD titles are often encrypted, which prevents you from either copying them to your hard drive, or if you manage to do so, being able to play the resulting files. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem with built-in decryption algorithms, which means you can use DVD Shrink to backup a DVD directly, without requiring any other software.\n\nThe next problem is not so easy. Most DVD video titles are simply too large to fit, without modification, onto a single recordable DVD-R disk. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem by compressing or "shrinking" the data from your original DVD. The latest DVD Shrink 3.2 contains state-of-the-art compression algorithms, rivalling those found in the best commercial softwares.\n\nDVD Shrink also allows you to re-author your DVD. You can make your own compilation from one or more source DVDs, or select only the parts of a DVD which you intend to view, thus preserving more space on your backup for the highest quality viewing.\n\nLast but not least, why use DVD Shrink? Because DVD Shrink is free!

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.
