CSS Encrypted DVD Films Are Capable Of Being Backed Up For Personal 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.

You could go see the movie again at the theater. Or, you could buy another copy of the movie on DVD.

You�re smart to be concerned. When DVDs first hit the market, they were unprotected and as a result, many movies were copied and sold illegally. To plug a hole in the dike of their profits, and prevent copyright infringement, DVDs companies had to add encryption to the DVDs.

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.

When DVDs first came out, a lot of people made a lot of copies--and sold them. That�s copyright infringement and illegal. DVD manufacturers were forced, as a result, to add protection files. Yes, I know what you�re saying. �So, copying a DVD is illegal.�

What if the movie was no longer available for sale? Burning a backup copy can refresh the movie and give it a longer shelf life. First, as I mentioned, you need to buy decrypting software. Remember, this software is available for people to protect their DVD investment. Copying a DVD isn�t illegal if it�s for personal use only.

So, if your favorite movie is no longer available for sale, and your copy is worn or damaged, you can burn a copy and keep on enjoying 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 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.

Now, go to your DVD library and begin preserving all your movies. Burn backups, so that when the discs wear down or get scratched, you�ll have a clean version ready and waiting to view. Understand, too, that when your backup begins to wear, you can simply burn a backup of that backup. Using this method, you can keep your movies alive and fresh for a long time.

If you own several videos that could use a backup copy, consider purchasing an eliminator box for the DVD recorder, to unlock the copy protection. In addition, you can buy a special DVD recorder that automatically removes the encrypted files, and can burn a copy while you�re watching the show!
