Did anyone try to backup The “Lords Of Dogtown” DVD? I think there is a new Sony encryption on this one. The DVD structure is very complicated. It will play on settop players but will not decrypt with any DVDDecrypter. This could be the end to backingup DVDs thanks to Sony’s new Arccos copy protection.

Commercial DVDs contain two different kinds of copy protection (Wikipedia:Content-scrambling_system CSS and Wikipedia:Macrovision Macrovision) and Wikipedia:Region-Encoding Region Encoding. All of which can keep you from making a copy of them. Additionally, many commercial DVDs are dual-layered. To fit these DVDs onto a single recordable you’ll need to either remove some of the extra content or re-compress the movie, or both. This page addresses those issues and offers suggestions for software.

Note: I am not advocating movie piracy. The techniques described here are for the purpose of making copies of movies you already own. I use them, for example, to copy movies to my hard drive when I am going on a trip. Do not use the information here to make illegal copies.
