How to Backup Movie DVDs for Noobs

Most people are having trouble when they want to copy or backup their original DVDs. Usually DVDs come with a copy protection which will prevent it being duplicated. Copy protection work by preventing a software to copy the disc or by scrambling its contents with some encryption algorithm making the copied disc unreadable.

However, it is not the end of copying DVDs. There is a way to bypass the copy protection (especially movie DVDs), and that way is easy! You just need a special software as well as your favourite DVD burner software. For example, here you can use AnyDVD to bypass the copy protection.
