1CLICK DVD
COPY - PRO™ is a fast, easy-to-use, full featured
software for copying DVD movies onto DVD discs. If
the source DVD is larger than 4.7 GB (which is usually
the case with Hollywood movies), it can compress the
contents so that they fit onto a blank DVD disc without
any noticeable loss of quality. You now have complete control over the final copy. Use the Copy Presets™ or the more advanced features to select what content will be copied and how much compression will be used. With 1CLICK DVD COPY - PRO, you can make a perfect copy with just one click. |

Includes CPRx technology! What is CPRx? First, we must explain DVD “copy protection”. According to the DVD specification, there are two types of copy protection available, as outlined below:
Content Scrambling System (CSS) - Almost all DVDs are encoded with CSS, which is a digital encryption scheme. DVD players can play DVDs encrypted with CSS because they each have a key to unlock the information on the DVD. Another way to think of CSS is a locked door. DVD players can unlock the door. Similarly, a software decrypting program can unlock the DVD and permit copying by a DVD copy application.
Macrovision - Many DVDs contain Macrovision, an analog copy protection. When a DVD player plays a DVD encoded with Macrovision, the DVD player will output a video signal which is incompatible with analog recoding devices, such as VHS tape recorders. Macrovision is not a digital protection, so it has no effect on software which is designed to copy a DVD.
Most mainstream DVD copy applications depend on third party decrypting applications to remove CSS and Macrovision from the DVD. The removal could be done on the fly (while copying takes place) by tools like DVD43 or AnyDVD, or as a separate process which rips the DVD contents to a hard drive folder (using tools like DVD Decrypter) prior to the DVD being copied. Both CSS and Macrovision are static entities which cannot change. If they could change, hundreds of millions of DVD players would not know how to play the modified DVDs. So this brings up a couple of interesting questions. Why do a lot of new DVD releases now claim to be “Copy Protected”? What is this new copy protection and how does it affect a DVD copy application?
The fact is there are no new “copy protections”. To create a new copy protection, you would also have to change the way a DVD player works. DVD players must all conform to rigid specifications to ensure proper playback. A new copy protection cannot be introduced unless the DVD player specification changes.
You can however author a DVD (the process of writing the original DVD) in such a way as to make it difficult to copy if you exploit weaknesses in the design of DVD copy software. A great deal of effort has been spent on trying to make new DVD movies difficult to copy, but still playable on a DVD player. Some simple examples are the inclusion of bad sectors (defects analogous to scratches) or bad DVD structure (adding bogus content to a DVD) which are blatant attempts to inhibit archival programs from making backup copies of the DVD.
Marketing names have been assigned to many of these novel authoring techniques, most notably “Sony Arccos, Macovision Rip Guard, Settec Alpha-DVD and Augs Puppet Lock. None of these authoring techniques constitute real copy protection, simply because the DVD player is totally unaware of their existence and as such, they are only annoyances to DVD copy applications. If you attempt to copy a DVD which incorporates one of these authoring techniques, it may fail during the copy process (often due to bad sectors on the disc) or it may fail to play back correctly because of bad DVD authoring on the original. One solution is to use a DVD copy application like 1CLICK DVD COPY which incorporates CPRx error correction technology.
CPRx technology now sets 1CLICK DVD COPY software apart from the rest in the industry. This technology permits 1CLICK DVD COPY software to copy virtually every DVD in circulation. The intention is to continue to provide frequent updates going forward to ensure this capability can be maintained. CPRx technology is an innovative solution for copying new DVD movies which have bad sectors or bad DVD structure. Users of 1CLICK DVD COPY software have access to frequent updates via internet download to ensure they retain this capability. Users must continue to use a third party decrypting application to “unlock the door” to the DVD, but once the door is open, the software can now ensure the highest level of success when making a backup copy of a DVD movie. CPRx technology also helps to ensure that the DVD will play back correctly on your home DVD player, something which is often overlooked until it’s time to watch the backup copy. |
