ripping a DVD X Copy backup to DVD+R

[icebergx]

hi all,

I want to make a copy of a move that was backed up using dvd x copy. I believe that dvd x copy has some copy procection on it preventing re-copying. Is there any way round this? Ive got DVD Shrink and would prefer to use this if possible.

Thanks a lot.

You should not want to copy a backup of a movie made by DVDXCOPY. That was 321 Studio's get out of jail way of thinking they were OK but look where it got them.
I am told on good authority that Nero will copy the backup

Roxio Disc Copier can do the same, but that wouldn't be ethical and I can't condone it.

Copy all of the files to your Hard Drive. These files have already had encryption removed and have been shrunk to fit on 1 DVDR. Burn with Nero.

dvdxcopy is designed to prevent copying backups. there is a freeware program to defeat it. jimmalenko method defeats this and will work also.
dvdxcopy= fast & easy
dvd decrypter/dvd shrink= slower, cheaper, better quality

That is odd, I just backed up 3 of my movies with NTI that were backed up with DVD X Copy, worked for me.

note third paragraph.

That should probably read "...backup of a backup..." As far as I know, you could always copy a backup, just can't backup a backup with DVD X Copy.
