You can use DVD neXt COPY to make a backup copy
of personally authored DVDs or non protected movies. Many commercial
movies are protected. Not all movies are protected. Unfortunately,
current interpretation of laws in some countries, including
the US, prohibits distribution of software that has the ability
to copy commerical movies. In order to backup DVD movies which
are protected, an additional file is required.
May people live outside the United States, and
the laws in other countries are not the same as those in the
U.S. If you live in a country where you are allowed to freely
use available DVD software you can download this plugin and
and use it for purposes permitted in your country.
If you live in the United States, please understand
that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) passed in 1998
does not expressly prohibit consumers from making backup copies
of digital works - only the sale & distribution of tools
that circumvent copy prevention technologies.
