Just purchased a DVD burner and installed in my PC. I can get it to play ordinary CD's and DVD's and also burns data etc etc, but I cannot get it to "backup" any original DVD films. Its the only CD drive in the PC and so, I have to copy to the hard disk first. Whenever I try to do this, I receive an error message "Copyright protected - cannot copy DVD" -

Is there a way around this ?

All advice welcome

I've heard recordnow max is good. not tried it tho.

use Dvd Decrypter.

found in the usual places;)

copying dvds is illegal;) but you can back up your copy of a dvd with dvdxcopy or dvddecrypter and dvd2one:D

What software are you using.

Previously i used dvd shrink(free) and Nero,although i have found the latest version of shrink to have a few problems.

Am using Nero

MR GEE
IM USING DVD SHRINK (FREE DOWNLOAD) AND NERO 6.
IM GETTING GREAT RESULTS.

use DVD XCOPY, really easy, mail me if you want the "Special Version".....

3)nero burning rom

Thanks for all the replies

another vote for dvdshrink and nero here

Yep, dvd shrink and Nero

I'd go with Haxer on the DVDXCOPY... couldn't imagine what the "Special Version" is ?! ;) Best version to go for is Platinum, hopefully this (along with something else) is what Haxer was on about.

For real...! ;-)
