Copy Protected DVD Movies Can Be Cloned For Individual Use

Movies are great entertainment, expensive entertainment. With movie ticket prices ever rising, many people decide to save their money, and wait until the film comes out on DVD. Many households continually rent movies for home viewing, and many choose to buy the DVD and maintain a home viewing library.

Home entertainment offers advantages over the movie theater experience--and cost. An owned DVD can be watched any day, at any time. In addition, the movie can be watched several times. Going to the movie theater to see a film a second or third time gets expensive. Owning the DVD saves that money.

Unfortunately, all that viewing does put wear on the DVD itself. So, what do I do, go out and buy another copy of the film, assuming it�s still available? I could. I could also burn a backup copy.

Wrong. With the high cost of movie tickets, more and more people find it cheaper to wait until the movie comes out on disc and buy it on DVD. Watching films on DVD does have some advantages. You can watch it on your schedule, not the theater�s. You don�t have to worry about people behind you chatting so loud you can�t hear the film. And, of course, you can watch the movie again and again and again, without paying any extra money.

So, if you have DVDs that need rejuvenation, check out your local software haven for this software. Load it onto your computer and prepare to copy the movie onto your computer�s hard drive.

Making a backup copy can provide new enjoyment in watching the film, without the skips, scratches and long usage wear and tear. Also, when that disc wears out, you can simply burn a backup of the backup.

Once you�re ready, copy the DVD and run the decrypting software. When the DVD has been decrypted, the files show up on your computer as individual files. Now is the time to delete the protection software and any files that do not relate directly to the film.

After copying the DVD, run the decrypting software. You will then have all of the movie files on your computer. Now, you strip off the files that aren�t movie-related. Be sure to remove the protection software files, too, so that next time you want to backup this particular movie, you can perform a simple copy.

Now that just the movie files are on your computer, reduce them back down to a quarter of their size. Insert a blank DVD disk, and then transfer the movie files. You now have a backup copy of your favorite movie. DVD burning lesson is complete.

Instead of, or in addition to using your computer to create a backup, there are other devices available to decrypt DVDs. One device is an eliminator box for DVD recorders, which helps to unlock the copyright protection. Another is a special DVD recorder, which can automatically strip the protections, and burn a backup copy. These recorders can do all of this as you watch the film.

Home entertainment has become a big business. To skirt high costs of theater tickets, many households simply wait for the film to come out on DVD. Others prefer to view the movie at home, rather than fight the crowds of noisy theater patrons. Knowing how to burn a backup copy of a favorite DVD can provide many hours of enjoyment for a lot less money.
