Copying CSS / CPPM - Copyright Protected System DVDs / Media

First introduced in 1996, Content Scramble System (CSS) is a Digital Rights Management (DRM) and encryption system employed on almost all commercially produced DVD-Video discs. CSS utilizes a proprietary 40-bit stream cipher algorithm.

CSS has been superseded by newer DRM schemes such as Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM), or by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) DRM scheme used by HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, which have 56-bit and 128-bit key sizes, respectively, providing a much higher level of security than the 40-bit key size of CSS.


DVD Decrypter

DVD Decrypter is a software application for Microsoft Windows that can create backup disk images of the DVD-Video structure of DVDs. It can be used to image any DVD, but controversially it is especially useful for decrypting copy protected movies. The program can also record images to disc. This software allows a region-specific DVD to be copied as an all-region DVD. It also removes Macrovision content protection, CSS, region codes, and user operation prohibition.

DVD Decrypter is made by the guys over at Lightning UK!, they've stopped development on it but went on to make ImgBurn which is also awesome. That's why the programs look the same. (But ImgBurn can't copy protected discs)

Did I do an article on this not long ago? DVD Decrypter is good, but modern protection cannot be bypassed by it.

So you did. OK, how do I do a file to file copy of a protected disc that I can then mount as an ISO.

I'd do it with Linux..

No problem, any time you need reminding that Linux has EVERYTHING you need built in, just ask!
