- Stripping Copy Protection to burn to DVD via NeroVision Express
- Posted by marty t. on October 2nd, 2005
I realize what the term "Copy Protection" means, of course...
Surely there's some smart person out there who has created workaround for
this issue? I'd love to be able to burn certain programs on HBO/Encore/MAX
to DVD...I suppose we all would...
Thanks.

The way I do it is to use intervideo's dvd maker and pull the recorded
program out of the file the shows are recorded in, I believe that it is in
all users, my documents, recorded, something like that, it was posted one
page one or two of this same message board, but intervid will make a dvd from
that file type

Thanks, Chris.
Just to confirm this....you've definitely burned content that shows up as
"Copy Protected" in MCE to DVD using Intervideo DVD Maker?

I'm after the same answer: You really burned "protected" content by opening
in DVD maker? I've had most of my attempts kicked out of Intervideo's WinDVD
Creator2 before I even get to open them (to edit commercials, etc.) with an
error message saying that the material I've attempted to open is copy
protected and can't be opened.
I'm only making copies for my own viewing somewhere OUTSIDE my office, so
I'm anxious to find out how you're getting around this.
Also - in my Windows Explorer listing of recorded video, many items show up
as "Protected: No" and, in fact ARE copy-protected, at least according to the
software, as described above. Whazzup there?

1) Open GraphEdit but don't load any filters or anything yet.
2) Open MCE and begin playing the content you are interested in
converting.
3) In GraphEdit choose File | Connect to remote graph. This should show
you a list of graphs
currently running. The names are not intuitive but if MCE is the only
thing running the only
graph should be the one that MCE has constructed to play your content.
Choose that one.
4) GraphEdit will load the MCE graph which is going to have many filters.
One will be the file
and several will be the decoder filters WITH THE DECRYPTION KEYS ALREADY
LOADED.
5) Now in GraphEdit push play. Then push stop. This is important. Nothing
will happen visually
but at this point GraphEdit takes over the graph and MCE will stop playing
the content.
6) Now deconstruct the graph keeping ONLY the file and the audio and video
decoder filters.
You will have to note which is which. You can get rid of all the other
filters including the line 21
decoder if its present.
7) Now reconstruct the graph hooking the file back to the decoders and
then the decoders to
the Cyberlink MPEG multipexer and then the mux to the Cyberling MPEG dump
filter (find other
related posts.
8) Now push play. The content begins dumping to MPEG. The visuals at this
point are not great.
You won't see anything happening and my MCE computer gets real slow. I
usally get an error of
some sort at the end of the dump and the only way I know its done is the
MPG output file stops
getting bigger. It takes about 25 minutes for a 7GB 2+ hour dvr-ms file.
The output file is
virtually the same size as the input.
9) MCE will have to be restarted at this point to continue - I assume its
because you've jerked
the graph out from under it. It complains that the original dvr-ms file
has become corrupted but
it really hasn't. Just restart MCE and all will be well.

I'm afraid to say that our friend Chris is apparently mistaken.
I tried to burn, and then convert to .wmv a copy protected dvr.ms file,
using Intervideo DVDCopy 4, with the same negative result.
I think that there may be some way to strip the protection off in GraphEdit,
but nothing I've tried works so far.
