Copy DVD Movie to DVDR, without copy protection rigmaroles.

Enough friends have asked me this, so here goes. It *is* possible to burn your own DVDs without region encoding issues. This is strictly for private backup purposes though, so please exercise discretion in usage.

There are a couple of tools that should interest you:

DVDFab

The first software you’re looking for is DVDFab’s. In particular, DVDFab Decrypter is a simple version of DVDFab Express, and is FREE. It copies entire DVD movie to hard disk, and removes all the protections (CSS, RC, RCE, Macrovision, UOPs and Sony ARccOS) while copying.

Free DVD

From the same maker, but Free DVD removes several protections from a DVD folder on the hard disk. It removes region code (RC), region code enhancement (RCE), analog copy protection (Macrovision), and user operation prohibitions (UOPs). You can use it to get a free DVD before you burn the DVD folder. It’s only 44K.

Hope this helps.
