Ever wondered what will happen when your kids� favorite DVD wears out? You know the one I mean, the movie or story episode that they watch again and again and again and again. The obvious response is you�ll have to go out and buy a new copy. What if it isn�t available? For that matter, what if you�re favorite movie on DVD gets damaged or scratched and you can�t find another copy for sale? How? You purchase decrypting software, copy the movie to the hard drive of you computer and strip the unnecessary files. Sounds too easy, and maybe slightly illegal? Okay, so you bought a home entertainment system, own a lot of DVDs and enjoy watching movies at home. Why would you want to take the time and expense to burn a copy of what is copyrighted material? Okay, the first question popping into your head is �What about the copy protection?� That�s a good question. When DVDs first appeared on the scene, many unscrupulous people took that as an opportunity to make and sell illegal copies. As a result, the companies making the DVDs were forced to add some copyright infringement encryptions to the discs. Why spend the money and go to all that trouble? Consider this: what if your movie has been watched so often, the disc becoming worn? Or, what if the disc has scratches? Yes, you could simply buy another copy of the movie. Movies on disk are reduced by 75%, so when you open the files, they take up massive amounts of storage space. Before you begin to copy the movie, make sure to establish that your computer have enough space for all the movie files. 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. Once you�re sure all of the parameters have been met, run the decrypting software. All the movie files will now be on your computer. Take this time to strip off the protection software and any other files that have nothing to do with the actual movie. Now you can take your DVD library, especially those that are beginning to show wear, and burn a backup copy. Plus, when the backup copies begin to show wear, you can simply burn a backup copy of the backup copy. After the files are stripped, reduce the files back to one quarter size. Get a blank DVD disc, and transfer the movie files to it. Tada! You now have a clean copy of your fave flick. If you�re a movie nut and have hundreds of DVDs you want to backup, you might want to consider a special DVD recorder. It�s more of an investment, true, but these special recorders have the capability to decrypt the movie, and to burn a backup copy all at the same time--while you�re watching the film.
