I got a lot of dvd movies, all legal, but one of them is a dual layer dvd. That is the way it was produced and sold. The In-Laws 1979 and 2003, and my pc player just won't play the whole 1979 version without app hang and then stopping altogether. I read somewhere that I could just use a dvd maker to copy the movie to my computer's hard drive, but I would be breaking the law doing it. Even if it's just for my personal use. I am not going to do that, I'll will just have to accept the fact that the movie establishment ripped me off, and there's nothing I can reasonably do about it. The so-called little people get ripped off every day in all kinds of ways, but if they steal back a little or just make a copy of something....
It is possible to compress videos without a noticeable loss in quality if you use the right tools and settings. Over compression: Can result in pixelation, artifacts, and a noticeable loss of quality Under-compression: Can result in a very large file H.264 encoding: An efficient method of compressing videos that results in a slight loss of quality H.265 (HEVC) codec: A more compressed format that's known for its high compression and good video quality MP4 is a lossless media container, which means that its compression doesn't affect the quality of its audio and video output. However, if compression goes beyond a certain point, MP4 can become lossy. Thanks for the comment!
Here's the simple fact: No one, absolutely no one, has been prosecuted or sued for having a library of copies of protected works, however vast, for personal use. Under such a condition, it is laughable to claim such is illegal. Even if such a law were on the books, it is dead letter. But yes, DMCA delenda est: not so much because of copying movies but because of subscriptions to our car engines.
Let's just say as a TH-camr making videos on how to copy DVDs and Blu-rays for private use, you can appreciate why I would need to be clear on the subject. That to break the encryption of a movie disc when not authorized is illegal according to the law, specifically the DMCA. I am not saying you can't do it or that your are likely to be prosecuted for doing it. Just that it is the law so "caveat emptor." Thanks for comment!
With the DISC Rot going on where my disc go bad 6 months later after one watching., these companies have no right to a copyright or putting copy guards on the disc. I had three seasons of Smallville that just quit working. I finally got a hold of WB and made them replacing all three. Star Trek TOS 4K films came out and the stores no longer had any to exchange and Star Trek 1 film did not work, had to get a hold of Paramount to give me a new disc. Look up disc rot. My superman box set from 2006, one disc actually had cracked apart. So, we have a right to copy disc to save our investment from cheap azz corporations. I have 40 year old VHS out lasting disc (and the government still uses three quarter inch tape for storage for they know how bad disc are. Though the funny thing is CD do not seem to have disc rot problems.
Thanks for comment, it is true that it should not be illegal to make backup copies for personal use, but the movie companies like the law so that they have a clear line to sue companies that break the DMCA. Maybe we could get enough complaints to our leaders in Washington to carve out an exception for personal use.
It is legal to backup any Digital good's you buy in Australia if you live there as its part of our consumer protection laws to stop you been screwed over by publishers
@@GTKTheater You are allowed to mod Play Stations here ... Sony have tried stopping this over the years only to keep loosing the cases. In saying that we have had quite a few web sites blocked due to Piracy concerns from the requests of companies like Sony ,Disney and FOX. The funny thing is these sites are not blocked in the US.
Did you know the lifespan of a DVD and Blu-ray depends on how it's stored and handled, but it can last between 30 and 100 years, but for some strange reason the good ones never last! I think it is a conspiracy... Thanks for the comment!

Just so you know compression doesnt always mean lossy. Think of a zip file, the files are compressed but if you unzip them you get all the data back

Is it not piracy for a DVD to fail after one viewing in just one year and then I have to rebuy it again?
Hear, Hear, this is why the law should be changed... in my humble opinion... Thanks for the comment.

It is my understanding that the DMCA does not apply in Australia, Lucky... This is a US copyright law. Good question, Thanks

When will it illegal to cell DVD's that do not last for at least 20 years?
