Is it legal to decrypt protected DVD discs or remove region code?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">The movie industry has every right to its intellectual property. However, when you purchase a DVD, you should be able to do whatever you want with what you've purchased, as long as you don't redistribute the material in an unauthorized way. That means you have the right to decrypt protected discs or remove disc regions upon DVD discs you've purchased. <strong>This post aims to offer you effective solutions to copy or\/and convert protected DVD discs you've purchased, not encouraging you to decrypt DVD discs you rent or borrow. Meanwhile, decrypted DVD content is not encouraged for commercial or profitable purposes. <\/strong><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl>\n<dt>2. How to see if my DVD disc is copy protected or not?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">If the disc is licensed, bought in an official shop, it is protected. If you get your DVD discs from other sources, there're also ways to tell whether it's protected or not: 1. Check the box of the disk to see whether the bow of the licensed DVD is qualitative, bright and firm or not. The disk itself should not be dirty or damaged. 2. Play back it on DVD player. The menu of a protected DVD is usually colorful and professionally-made. 3. Try to copy or convert it with non-decrypting DVD copy or converting apps. Protected DVD discs won't let you copy or convert.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl>\n<dt>3. What about the DVD disc region code?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">Commercial DVDs are protected not only against duplication by CSS protection, but they have region codes embedded \u2014 codes that restrict where these DVD discs could be played back. You could change the DVD player region code to play back these region-coded DVD discs, but for only 5 times. To solve the DVD disc region code restriction, you get 2 choices: 1. Remove DVD disc region code with DVD decrypting apps. 2. Make use of 3rd-party DVD players that allows you to adjust DVD player region code unlimited, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/blu-ray-player\/\">Free Blu-ray Player<\/a>. <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl>\n<dt>4. What should I need if I want to copy or convert protected DVD disc?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">Just find a DVD copy or converting app that has disc decrypting feature to help you bypass these DVD protections and remove the disc region code. There're a lot of DVD backup software apps that could help you do this, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/dvd-copy\/\">DVD Copy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/dvd-ripper\/\">DVD Ripper<\/a>, etc. Through decrypting, these apps make DVD backups unencrypted and region-free. <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl>\n<dt>5. How will the disc decryption go on?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">If you use above-mentioned DVD Copy and DVD Ripper for decrypting discs, the decryption would happen automatically, with no manual operation required. <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl>\n<dt>6. Can I just backup DVD main movie?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">Yes. Most DVD backup software offers \"Main Movie\" copy mode to let you copy DVD main movie for backup.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl>\n<dt>7. Can I just copy certain DVD titles for backup?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">Yes. Currently, most DVD backup software allow you to select DVD backup mode, which offers accessibility for you to select only desired titles or chapters for backup. <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl>\n<dt>8. Can I select subtitles and audio tracks for DVD backup?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">Of course yes. As long as source DVD movies include subtitles and audio tracks, you're able to select desired ones for adding to the final DVD backups. <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl>\n<dt>9. Can I play DVD movies on my iPad tablet?<span class=\"part2-triangle triangle-l\"><\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"none\">Yes. You could make use of DVD Ripper or other DVD converting programs to convert DVD movies to video files and then play DVD movies on iPad tablet, iPhone, iPod, Android mobile phones and tablets, Microsoft devices, etc. <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"wp-part pl20\"><strong>Backup DVD: Copy DVD to Hard Drive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Copying DVD to hard drive with DVD copy software is no doubt  the best and most straightforward way to backup DVD to hard drive.
