2. Prepare DVD

Everyone knows that the DVD movies we buy generally have CSS/REGION protection and can only be played on a dedicated DVD Player. It cannot be copied or ripped. As early as many years ago, hackers cracked this protection so that DVDs could be copied and ripped. In order to make up for this loophole, DVD publishers have tried to modify the DVD data and prevent the DVD from being copied.

For example, the DVD "HAIRSPRAY" released by NEW LINE HOME ENTERTAINMENT uses a lot of bad sectors technology (as shown in the figure below, the files in the red box are unreadable bad sector files). When the CD-ROM drive reads these bad locations, it will get stuck and cannot read the data.

When you find that your DVD has these features, don't worry, it may prevent some DVD copy software from copying, but it won't block OpenCloner Ripper, because OpenCloner Ripper can intelligently analyze the encryption features of DVDs, remove and bypass these protections.
