I Receive A Message About Digital Copy Protection
watch a regular from Netflix on your computer? It's really a pain that something like that doesn't just "work" considering it's VERY COMMON for people to watch DVDs on their computers! Anyway, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/webhelp/default.aspx?mpver=11.0.5721.5230&id=C00D1163&contextid=61&originalid=C00D1163 this happened to me last night and it took me about 20 minutes to fix the problem, so I thought I would write up how I ended up fixing it! Hopefully, you read this before thinking it's some problem with Windows or with your DVD drive, etc as I have seen some people re-install Windows or get a new DVD drive because of this error! http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-fix-window-media-player-cannot-play-this-dvd-error-message/ Actually, the problem all comes down to something called codecs. Codecs are small pieces of software that can decode the material on a DVD. Whenever a DVD is created, especially new one with copyright protection software installed on them, the content of the DVD is encoded using algorithms into a special format. This encoded data cannot be played on your computer in its normal format, so it has to be DECODED on your computer before it plays. You may have heard of DivX, which is a codec that allows people to compress full-length DVDs onto a CD without losing much of its original image quality. Some software DVD players will auto-download the required codecs for you and hence you won't have this problem, but for some reason Windows Media Players sucks at this and will pop up with the error message. If you have a Blu-ray drive and are trying to play a Blu-ray disc in Windows Media Player, the same thing applies. Windows Media Player, by default, cannot play Blu-ray discs like it can DVDs, so you have to install the correct codecs to get them to play in Windows Media Player.

Copy protection error trying to play DVD in Windows Media Player This is a discussion on Copy protection error trying to play DVD in Windows Media P
a comment Go to comments Scenario : You recently bought a DVD and want to copy it to your PC cos you want a backup BUT you are unable to copy the contents as you keep getting the Error : "Error 0x80030309 : Copy Protection Error". What do you do ?? Solution : This is a very common Error you get when you try to copy contents of a Copyrighted DVD. It is because of a Method called Content Scramble System (CSS) which is used to encrypt the DVD's to prevent their contents from being copied. A little History, CSS is a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system employed on almost all commercially produced DVD-Video discs and was developed primarily by Matsushita and Toshiba, introduced in 1996. CSS utilizes a proprietary 40-bit stream cipher algorithm. However, in October 1999, the CSS algorithm was cracked and posted on the Internet, triggering endless controversies and legal battles Not much has changed since that time as the manufacturers of DVD players and the producers of DVDs have to maintain compatibility with the vast amount of material released and changing and adding to this encryption scheme would render a lot of current titles unplayable. The computer program capable of decrypting content on a commercially produced DVD video disc is called DeCSS Enough Jibber - Jabber, I own the DVD and i want a Backup….what do i do ?? OK, To the point…to do so we are going to use a freeware Software called " DVD Shrink " [ See Wikipedia Link here ] DVD Shrink is a free software application that allows you to backup your DVD disks.You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disk. Do note that DVD Shrink does not burn DVDs! The output from DVD Shrink is saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn to a DVD-R using separate burning software, such as the software provided with your DVD-R drive. DVD Shrink is very useful because normally most DVD's prevent you from making copies either by encryption(CSS) or making it so large that they are hard to fit on onto a single recordable DVD-R disk. DVD Shrink overcomes these problems with built-in decryption algorithms(DeCSS) and by modifying or "shrinking" the data from your origina
