Alright so today I went and bought a Sony DVD+/-R/RW burner. I wanted to make a back up of one of my DVD's to test if this works and I got this problem that the DVD was Copy Protected.
A friend of mine told me to use DVD Shrink...so I downloaded the program...backed up the DVD onto my hard drive...and as I was downloading with Nero...it got to about 99 percent when it suddenly stopped and gave me a 'Protection Error' problem telling me that I could not make a copy of protected material.
I went online and searched for something to stop that from happening and I found this 'AnyDVD' program...now I installed it...and I selected all those regional protection stuff to be removed.
But I got no confirmation that from now on those things will be removed.
Another message I got when the error came up was...

If anyone here can help me let me know...I need to know how to be able to successfully copy a DVD without that protection crap. Otherwise i've spent this money for nothing. :(
yeah DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter arent update anymore that why they wont work by them selfs you can run AnyDVD in the background and use DVD Shrink and or DVD DecrypterAnyDVD is a driver that works in the background and removes the protection from the dvd ,its the new sony arccos and ripguard protection that causes the problems on the newer dvds(disney) etc. which AnyDVD can take care of being the program updates weekly. if you do use DVD Shrink with AnyDVD sometimes DVD Shrink will still have problems transcoding the dvd and you will get a read error .if your using DVD Decrypter with AnyDVD set DVD Decrypter up this way....
Proceed to the DVD Decrypter Opening Page - Tools - Settings
I/O Tab - Click on "Elby CDIO-Elaborate Bytes"
General Tab - un-check "Check For Structure Protection"
but your best bet is to use CloneDVD 2 and AnyDVD together (this is what iam using) the programs update ,you can do all the newer movies(i never had a movie i cant backup with this combo) you can control the burn speed(always burn at 4x or no faster than 8x) and you can re-author the dvd(doing the movie only). its the best program out there heres the link you can download both and use the free 21 day trial before you buy.
remember to use good blank media (taiyo yuden and or verbatim) and burn at 4x starting out on a clean machine without other programs running in the background and the lastest firmware on your drive.
AnyDVD is a great decrypter in combination with whatever other programs you decide to use.
if you want to go the FREEware route you have two basic options:
1. dvdfabdecrypter -> VOB blanker -> shrink -> burner (dvddevrypter/imgburn is free), or
2. ripit4me
the download links and guides are below. good luck!
