Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not but here goes.

I am trying to copy a computer program that came on a DVD. None of the software that I have for copying movie DVD's works.

What software can I use for making copies of protected computer programs be it on CD or DVD ???

There are many different types of copy protections.

* Safedisc
* Securom
* Laserlok
* Lockblocks
* Starforce
* CDCOPS
* Protect CD

It also helps to have the right burner for the job. From CDFeaks:

For this test, we will use the Sheep tests made by Alexander Noé. Why is it called sheep test? That's because the logo of the first 1 to 1 copy program called CloneCD is a sheep. When looking at supported writers, you will notice that the feature list has sheep to indicate if a feature is supported or not. In this case we are interested in the writer's ability to backup/write weak sectors. Also called: 'Correct EFM encoding of regular bit-patterns".

* No sheep: Can't backup any safedisc 2 versions without the help of software tricks
* 1 Sheep: Can backup safedisc 2 up to version 2.4x without software tricks
* 2 Sheep: Can backup safedisc 2, including version 2.5x
* 3 Sheep: Can write all possible weak sectors, few if any writers could do this.

I stand corrected ! But I've made backups of all kinds of software and never had a problem even the big one's (want say their name) wonder how I did it if there are blocks in them ?
