Sometimes there are situations when, when you try to write information from a DVD to your computer, a notification appears that the media is write-protected. Accordingly, you cannot copy information to your hard drive. And what to do if, for example, an interesting film is recorded on such a disc, and you need to save it? In fact, you can remove this protection from almost any DVD.
Necessary
- - write-protected DVD;
- - CloneDVD program.
Instructions
Step 1
To bypass the protection of such disks, it is best to use special programs. One of the best programs of this kind is CloneDVD. With its help, you can copy the contents of the disk bypassing protection. Download the application from the Internet and install it on your computer. The program is commercial but has a free trial period. After installation, restart your PC.
Step 2
Run the program. After launching it, the tray of your optical drive will open automatically. Insert a write-protected DVD into it, click on the folder image that is in the top menu of the program. After that, using the browse, select the folder where the copy of the disk will be saved. Then click on the arrow opposite the Copy as line and select DVD.
Step 3
Then click on the arrow opposite the DVD Capaciti line and select the DVD format from which the information will be recorded. This is a standard DVD 5 with a volume of 4, 7 or a more capacious DVD 9 with a volume of 8.5 GB.
Step 4
At the top left of the window, there is a section called DVD content. By default, all the files that will be written to the hard disk are checked there. If you do not need to write down all the files, in this list you can mark only those that you need.
Step 5
After selecting all the required options, click "Start". The process of recording information from the disc will begin. In most cases, all selected information is written to the hard disk. The speed at which data is written to disc depends on the specific DVD as well as your optical drive. Quite often the program sets the minimum speed.
Step 6
After the process bar reaches 100%, the disc will be burned. The information will be located in the folder that you have chosen to store the data.
