How can I bypass "DVD is Copy Protected"

[dannieboiz]

I tried to burn a DVD today on Easy Creator but got a message saying that the dvd is copy protected. What can I use to bypass this to allow me to continue burning the DVD without any errors THANKS!

dannieboiz ,

You need to check out the HOW TO GUIDES on this site. There is a wealth of information. Look in the sidebar.

Simple queries like these belong in "newbie" section.

actually he did post it in the newbiew section for general discussion.

Obviuously, he hasnt done any research at all and wants a spoonfeeding....

two apps that will get you on your way and they are both free

dvddecrypter. if the movie is under 4.3 gig aka layer=1, you can rip it as an iso to your hard drive and then burn it back using the same software (or your own software).

dvdshrink. Allow you to do a full movie back up or just movie only and rips to your hard drive tp be burned by software of your choice. both softwares remove the encryption.

I never really was the type to get upset over a newbie asking a question that can be answered very easily, but it is vey obvious that dannieboiz has taken no time what so ever to read the guides or to do a simple search. He could have solved his problem a lot faster by just reading the guides rather that waiting for someone to post an answer to his topic.

But anyway, why dont you start by looking HERE

By looking at your number of post you're quite a newbie yourself, so don't talk like you're all that.

I did try to do a search about the subject but search feature isn't working. I did skim through the how to DVD Rip section but didn't notice much about DVD to DVD burning.

When I first came here I must admit the guides were very confusing to me and made absolutely no sense at all. It took a combination of the guides, some nice folks here, trial and error, and dumb luck before I finally put it all together.

Do you have DVD Decrypter or Smartripper?

I am quite a noob but found the time to read as much as I can. But (if you check my posts) I ask alot of questions as well. This isn't the only place where you can look these things up if the 'search feature wasn't working.'

There is no fault in asking a question if you simply can't find an answer for lack of available information. But there is fault when you look no farther than the tip of you nose. Again, this place isnt the only one and you could have checked the links section unless that wasn't working either.

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but LOOK AT THE RULES.


I feel a bit edgy tonite so I apologize about the above words as they are written, but I don't apologize about their meaning.

only transcoder among the group that's free is DVDShrink..which i personally use.

Most commercial dvds use copy protection in the form of either CSS key encryption, RCE protection, Macrovision, or a mixture of them. There probably wouldn't be much of a DVDRHelp site if Easy DVD Creator made it so easy to copy a dvd disc.

Now I shall go sit back in the corner, since my post count is so relevant to my knowledge...

don't use easy cd creator to make your dvd.

last year i use that program and only 2 out of every 5 dvds that i burnt would play in my dvd player

that was dvds that i burnt as data dvds

dvd builder doesn't recognized vob files so you can't use that either

DVDShrink into Easy CD Creator? Will that not work? what now? Have I been doing something wrong? ARGH, I hate Roxio's guts anyways and haven't used any of their programs in the last few years.

I thought this website was for the general public to ask questions. I'm tired of "experts" constantly carping about people asking questions that might already have been asked.

It's more like they get annoyed when people ask questions that have already been explained by a guide. If you haven't noticed, most of them are nice and try to help people. Don't go dissing the experts dude, they will eat you alive when they moderate . Anyways, most questions are answered quickly with a straigh answer, so buzz off! AHHHHHH, I hate when people complain of rightful complaints........

And my 2 cents. Yes it was obvious by his initial post that he had not done much reading before posting. If he had, he would not of found any reference to Roxio EX CD Creator. No body means to be rude or scare anyone away, but come on, this site is packed full of excellent guides put together bu dedicated and hard working folks. I agree, he wanted to be spoon fed and that's not the first person or the last person, who's going to get a burner and instantly want to burn his first back-up to go show his neighbors. It's fair to just say exactly what the first post to his reply said. Go read the guides. Then come back if you have a problem, but act like you know some of the lingo in the guides.

maybe he ask a question,

because he couldn't find a guide on easy cd creator

and that was the software that he had to work with


we were all newbie at one time or another

and we all asked stupid questions in the beginning
(i didn't though. i ask one question, and over a year had passed before i posted again. by then though, i was a expert)

so show respect for the newbies

it is not a stupid question for them

i could see you jumping on this guy if he ask about nero or something
(then again i really couldn't, as he is a newbie)

if you jump on a newbie, it should be for asking 'which format is better"
as that has a tendency to start a war

[hoyboy]

If people were worried about newcomers asking "silly" or "lazy" questions, then all they have to do is ignore them and not post. The simple thing to do would be to point to something like DVDShrink, with maybe a little note to look a little harder next time. Everybody has something to contribute, even if it is not obvious at first. BTW, I asked what could be called a "silly" question last week about nero express, and people answered it with a very polite response, which made me grateful for their help, rather than "look it up, idiot".

[funkguy4]

I wonder if I'm an expert yet.............could an expert figure it out for me plz...........

[jdizzy40]

Next time someone is going to post " I put my DVD Movie in and clicked on copy in my windows media player and got an error message". Who is going to take the time to first explain what copy protection is, then the difference between single layered and dual layered disks, the process of backing up a DVD, the software to use, yadda, yadda, yadda. Come on people. Quit re-writing the guides that are already on this site and wasting space typing this sort of stuff. I'll say it again, it's obvious the person took no time searching this site before posting, and no one should have to take a person from basic terminolgy (which they should already have read) to getting them to back-up their first DVD. Point them in the right direction and let's see if they have the "Right Stuff" and do some work on their own. Nothing is "free" for the taking!!!!

[funkguy4]

Back when I was a novie DVD copier, which was when I got a DVD burner, I already knew all the stuff, so I wasn't really novice. People should take the time to read up on things on this site then go get a DVD burner....just a tip!

[poopyhead]

calm down,

give them ppl a break...

if you don't like their threads...then don't bother wasting your time by reading/posting.

---------

just as bad as these newbie posts are ppl going around the various threads with nothing constructive....only yelling at the "newbs" that they're lazy and stop asking stupid questions...

these are NOT good posts...don't waste precious space and MY time with these stupid posts

---------

only time would be if a "newb" is breaking a forum rule..but even then, you don't need to yell or be sarcastic
