我们都购买了包含各种媒体内容的DVD 和蓝光光盘：电影、游戏、音乐、软件等。但是，当我们使用这些光盘时，它们的质量会随着时间的推移而下降，几年后，它们就会变得无法使用。(purchase DVDs and Blu-Rays)您唯一的解决方案是再次购买它们，但这又要花钱(money one)一次，而且不公平。您已经为该产品付款。没有办法制作备份副本(backup copy)吗？不幸的是，不能通过标准的光盘刻录软件(disc burning software)。在本教程中，我将介绍我认为制作备份副本(backup copy)的最佳选择。
尝试使用通常的光盘刻录应用程序进行复制不起作用
我有一张DVD，里面有我一直以来最喜欢的电影：肖申克的救赎(The Shawshank Redemption)。光盘已经很旧了——我肯定已经有 6 年或更长时间了，而且……我想对它进行备份，以防光盘变得太旧而无法使用。
我启动Nero StartSmart Essentials并尝试复制光盘，但它"Copy error!".
然后，我启动了ImgBurn并尝试从光盘创建一个映像文件(image file)，以便稍后我可以将其刻录到另一张 DVD(DVD)以妥善保管。立即，ImgBurn返回一个错误，说该光盘受复制保护，并说该光盘正在使用CSS/CPPM protection
我该如何解决？
如何使用和配置 AnyDVD HD(use and configure AnyDVD HD)来删除复制保护(copy protection)
我选择下载并安装AnyDVD HD的 21 天(AnyDVD HD)试用版(trial version)，看看它是如何工作的。在试用期间，每次应用程序启动时您都会收到提示。一个小烦恼，没有别的。单击Continue后，您可以开始使用该应用程序。
AnyDVD HD会自动扫描您放入DVD 或蓝光驱动器(DVD or Blu-Ray drive)的媒体，以便检测其属性及其使用的复制保护(copy protection)类型。
打开AnyDVD HD后，我在状态(Status)部分注意到它正确检测到了我的DVD和使用的复制保护(copy protection)类型。显然，它被自动删除了。
一件好事是，如果您浏览程序的设置，您会发现删除带有广告的烦人剪辑的选项。根据您要备份的光盘类型，不要犹豫，查看视频 DVD(Video DVD)、视频 HD DVD(Video HD DVD)和视频蓝光部分。(Video Blu-ray)
按下OK后，将应用设置。如果您正在使用试用版，您应该记住，它仅限于应用您为应用程序运行一次所做的设置。如果您退出AnyDVD HD，下次运行时，它将使用其默认设置。
因此，您必须再次完成自定义过程(customisation process)。这就是为什么，如果您需要进行一两次以上的备份，最好在不等待试用期到期的情况下购买该应用程序。您还为AnyDVD HD(AnyDVD HD)开发人员所做的出色工作付出了代价。
如何制作DVD的备份副本(backup copy)
现在是时候运行尝试复制受保护的光盘，再一次，而AnyDVD HD在后台处于活动状态，以删除复制保护(copy protection)。您可以使用您喜欢的任何光盘刻录应用程序。如果您需要一些好的建议，请阅读这篇文章：如何在Windows中复制(Windows)光盘(Disc)（CD、DVD 或蓝光(DVD or Blu-Ray)）。
为了解释这个过程是如何进行的，我们决定再次使用ImgBurn。这是一个很棒的免费程序，您可以从这里(here)下载。下载并安装ImgBurn，然后打开该程序。
当受复制保护的DVD/Blu-Ray disc仍在驱动器中时，AnyDVD HD在后台处于活动状态，单击ImgBurn主程序窗口中的“从光盘创建映像文件” 。("Create image file from disc")
选择源驱动器(source drive)，即要存储光盘映像(disc image)的目标（它将保存为“.iso”文件），然后单击下面突出显示的复制(Copy)按钮。
复制过程(copy process)立即开始，需要相当长的时间。我花了大约 28 分钟来制作我的DVD的(DVD)备份副本(backup copy)。如果您正在制作蓝光光盘的(Blu-Ray disc)备份副本(backup copy)，预计它需要更长的时间。
该过程结束后，我单击“确定(OK)”，我的受保护光盘副本作为“.iso”文件在我的计算机上可用，位于我指定的文件夹中。
现在我可以使用诸如Virtual Clone Drive之类的(Virtual Clone Drive)磁盘模拟器(disk emulator)来刻录或挂载它。如果您需要有关在Windows中安装或刻录磁盘映像的帮助，请阅读以下指南：
- 如何在文件资源管理器中挂载或卸载(File Explorer)ISO映像
- 如何在Windows中刻录光盘映像（ (Windows)ISO 和 IMG(ISO & IMG)）
我的副本最棒的地方在于它不再有烦人的广告和不必要的剪辑。光盘直接打开了DVD 配置菜单，我一按(DVD configuration)播放电影(Play Film)按钮，电影就开始了。
我是海盗吗？
简短的回答是否定的。我制作的副本旨在作为个人备份，以便在我的旧光盘不再正常工作时使用。我不打算将其出售、赠送给其他人或在线分享。
根据您所在的国家/地区，这个主题存在很多争议。但是，如果您稍微阅读一下，您会发现单个备份副本是合法的，即使在美国也是如此。如果您阅读有关规避 DVD 复制保护的(Circumvention of DVD copy protection)Wikipedia 条目(Wikipedia entry)，您将了解到：“虽然个人消费者在其计算机上存储个人拥有的 DVD 的备份副本很可能是合理使用，但联邦法律仍然有制造或贩卖允许消费者制作此类复制品的设备或工具是违法的。”("while it may well be fair use for an individual consumer to store a backup copy of a personally owned DVD on that individual's computer, a federal law has nonetheless made it illegal to manufacture or traffic in a device or tool that permits a consumer to make such copies.")
所以...盗版者不是制作他们拥有的受版权保护的光盘的个人备份副本(backup copy)的人，而是提供软件以规避版权保护机制(copy protection mechanisms)的公司。幸运(Lucky)的是，这些公司，包括开发AnyDVD HD的公司，并不位于美国。
但请注意(Beware)，有些国家（例如英国(United Kingdom)）甚至个人备份副本也被视为非法。要了解有关该主题的更多信息，请阅读上面推荐的整个Wikipedia 条目(Wikipedia entry)。
结论
我希望您发现本指南有用。但是，在您走之前，请告诉我们：您对版权保护(copy protection)问题有何看法？您所在国家/地区的立法情况如何：您是否因制作自己拥有的受保护光盘的备份(backup copy)而被视为盗版？
How to make a backup copy of a protected disc (DVD or Blu-Ray)
We all purchase DVDs and Blu-Rays with all kinds of media content: movieѕ, games, music, software, etc. However, as wе uѕe those dіscs, their quality waneѕ with time and, after a few years, they bеcome unusable. Your only solution is tо purchase them again but that costs money one more time and it juѕt іsn't fair. You paid for that product already. Isn't there a way tо make a backup copy? Unfortunately not by means of standard disc burning software. In this tutorial, I will cover what I think it іs the best alternative for making a baсkup copy.
Trying to make a copy with the usual disc burning applications doesn't work
I have a DVD with one my all-time favorite movies: The Shawshank Redemption. The disc is quite old - I must have had it for 6 years or more, and well... I would like to make a backup of it, in case the disc becomes way too old and unusable.
I started Nero StartSmart Essentials and tried to copy the disc and it said "Copy error!".
Then, I fired up ImgBurn and tried to create an image file from the disc so that, later on, I can burn it to another DVD for safekeeping. Immediately, ImgBurn returned an error saying that the disc is copy protected and said that CSS/CPPM protection is being used by this disc.
How do I get around it?
How to use use and configure AnyDVD HD to remove the copy protection
I chose to download and install the 21 days trial version of AnyDVD HD , to see how it would work. During the trial, you receive a prompt each time the application starts up. A small annoyance, nothing else. Once you click on Continue , you can start using the application.
AnyDVD HD automatically scans the media that you place into your DVD or Blu-Ray drive, so that it detects its properties and the type of copy protection it uses.
Once I opened AnyDVD HD , I noticed in the Status section that it correctly detected my DVD and the kind of copy protection used. Obviously, it was automatically removed.
A nice thing is that, if you browse through the program's settings, you will find options for removing annoying clips with commercials. Don't hesitate to check the Video DVD , Video HD DVD and Video Blu-ray sections, depending on the type of disc that you want to backup.
Once you press OK , the settings get applied. If you are using the trial, you should keep in mind that it is limited to applying the settings you make only for one run of the application. If you exit AnyDVD HD , the next time it runs, it will use its default settings.
Therefore, you have to go through the customisation process again. That's why, if you need to make more than a backup or two, it is best to purchase the application without waiting for the trial to expire. You also pay for the good work done by the developers of AnyDVD HD.
How to make the backup copy of the DVD
Now it is time to run try to copy the protected disc, one more time, while AnyDVD HD is active in the background, to remove the copy protection. You can use any disc burning application you prefer. If you need some good suggestions, read this article: How to Copy a Disc (CD, DVD or Blu-Ray) in Windows.
To explain how the process goes, we decided to use ImgBurn again. It's a great free program that you can download from here. Download and install ImgBurn and then open this program.
While the copy protected DVD/Blu-Ray disc is still in the drive, with AnyDVD HD active in the background, click "Create image file from disc" in the ImgBurn main program window.
Select the source drive, the destination where you want to store the disc image (it will be saved as an ".iso" file) and click the Copy button highlighted below.
The copy process starts immediately and it takes quite some time. It took me about 28 minutes to make a backup copy of my DVD. If you are making a backup copy of a Blu-Ray disc, expect it to take longer than that.
Once the process was over, I clicked OK and my copy of the protected disc was available on my computer as an ".iso" file, in the folder I specified.
Now I was able to burn it or mount it using a disk emulator such as Virtual Clone Drive. If you need some help with mounting or burning disk images in Windows, read these guides:
The greatest thing about my copy was that it no longer had annoying commercials and unnecessary clips. The disc directly opened the DVD configuration menus and the movie started as soon as I hit the Play Film button.
Was I being a pirate?
The short answer is No. The copy I made is intended as a personal backup, to use once my old disc no longer works well. I do not plan to sell it, give it to other people or share it online.
There is a lot of controversy on the subject, depending on the country where you are based. However, if you do a bit of reading, you will find that individual backup copies are legal, even in the US. If you read this Wikipedia entry on Circumvention of DVD copy protection , you will learn that: "while it may well be fair use for an individual consumer to store a backup copy of a personally owned DVD on that individual's computer, a federal law has nonetheless made it illegal to manufacture or traffic in a device or tool that permits a consumer to make such copies."
So... the pirates are not people making a personal backup copy of a copy protected disc they own, but the companies providing software to circumvent copy protection mechanisms. Lucky for us, such companies, including the one developing AnyDVD HD, are not based in the US.
Beware though, there are countries (such as the United Kingdom) where even personal backup copies are considered illegal. To learn more about the subject, read the entire Wikipedia entry recommended above.
Conclusion
I hope you found this guide useful. But, before you go, tell us: what do you think on the subject of copy protection? How is the legislation in your country: Are you considered a pirate for making a backup copy of a protected disc you own?
