You can't. Unlike VHS which happens to be an analog format of video when all you had to do was rip off the tab (sort of like on audio cassettes) so you could make a copy of the video. DVD's are completely different. When DVD's are made, special software gets embedded within the DVD to prevent copies from being made. Since DVDs are read-only just like CDs are, (read-only means only what's on the disc can be read or viewed, nothing can be added or changed), so you can't remove the software. Copy protected digital media is a controversial topic, with most consumers saying they should be able to make a back-up copy of movies at home for their own use, while the companies are attempting to restrict copying digital media altogether due to piracy concerns.

Copy protected dvds are very easy to copy than you may think. The trick really is that you need to use a DVD ripper software instead of a DVD burner software.

DVD copiers that are old and at a discount?

It depends on what your price point and what DVDs you're trying to copy. There are standalone DVD copiers that range from about 150 to a couple hundred dollars. However, if you're copying commercial DVD movies you may run into issues with copy protection on those types of DVDs. If you're copying VHS transfers or personal DVDs then that shouldn't be an issue. Still, I think buying a DVD burner for a computer may be the cheapest why to copy DVDs. They can be had for as little as $25 or so these days. Of course you'll still need burning software like Nero or CDBurnXp and a computer. If you're copying commercial movies then you'll need to purchase or get some software that can bypass copy protection schemes like AnyDVD.

How can you copy a DVD if it is encrypted?

Most commercially-produced DVD movies have some kind of copy protection scheme that deter consumers in making copies of DVDs. Such schemes can be any or all of the following: Content Scramble System (CSS) Anti-ripping schemes such as ProtectDISC Video or SecureBurn Regional Codes User Operations Prohibition (UOP), which takes away user-features, such as selection menus, chapters, or subtitle choices As protection schemes naturally disallow consumers to make duplicates of a copyrighted material, it also prevents the casual copying of movies, such as making backups, transferring it to a better media, archiving, etc. Making duplicates of these copy protected DVDs using any of the popular DVD burning software will create inferior or even unplayable versions of your movie. There are capable DVD burning software that can bypass these protection schemes though. These software will allow you to burn copy protected DVDs without hassle.

For ripping a DVD, you can use the free DVD Decrypter which can remove the copy protection and region code from DVD.
