Decrypt Your Copy Protected DVDs With DVD43

February 14, 2008 by 18 Comments

Because of different protection schemes it is not possible to copy DVD movies to hard drive to play in other devices. DVD43 is freeware for windows that helps you to decrypt most of the DVD protection schemes. DVD43 runs in the background and decrypts DVDs on the fly.

Download the application and install it, once installed it sits in your system tray (yellow smiley). Now insert any DVD you want to remove copy protection, DVD43 automatically recognizes the DVD and turns to green face, that means it supports the decryption.

dvd43 This is not a DVD ripper, it just runs in the background and decrypts the DVD, that means you need a software that can rip the DVD to your hard drive.

Handbrake is another freeware some of you may already know which can rip the DVDs. Handbrake works well for ripping DVDs to formats supporting iPod/iPhone, PS3 …

For decrypting DVDs insert the DVD wait until the DVD43 turns green, then open Handbrake and start ripping. Note: If Handbrake shows error here, just wait for a min until it recognizes the decrypting process.

DVD43, Handbrake, Thanks Rick Broida

    @Nelson
    go to DVD43 page there is a download link, download the software and install it. Open Handbrake and copy the DVD, the software will work in the background.

    I downloaded dvd43 on my new computer and says it is not compatible with windows vista 64bit. I have always used it on windows xp. What do I do?

  • Dantaysmom

    You have to wait a long time for it to recognize the decryption, not a minute or two like it says…

  • Floyd Graves

    I also would like to know if and how you could use dvd 43 on hp with 64 bites

    When you decrypt a DVD, does it permanently remove the encryption from the DVD? I rent DVDs, and I didn’t know if doing this would permanently remove the encryption (which the place I rent from might check for, and then see that I removed it).

    Thanks.

    Great idea, really lousy implementation. Why would I want yet another background task starting up when my computer boots (making that take even longer!), running when I’m not even thinking about ripping DVDs (consuming resources), and hooking into low-level system functionality (which won’t make Windows MORE stable, that’s for sure)?

    This should be a small, lightweight app that you start when you want to rip DVDs and stop when you’re done.

    DVD43 doesn’t run with 64 bit Win. It says so on their site.
