I've never used K3B myself, but its site is not clear whether it |
| 11 |
handles the DeCSS part of the DVD rip. |

CSS is the system used to region-restrict DVDs, and AFAICT it works |
| 14 |
by encrypting the files on the disk against a key stored in a special |
| 15 |
part of the DVD's header. This "header" part of the DVD is not |
| 16 |
writable by normal DVD-burners (I have heard that "authoring" DVD- |
| 17 |
burners which support it cost several thousand pounds), so a |
| 18 |
"bitwise" copy of a DVD cannot be decrypted (because the key is |
| 19 |
missing). |

As I understand it, in order to copy DVD movies one must first make a |
| 22 |
copy of the DVD's files - with the region-encoding removed - onto |
| 23 |
hard-disk, then burn this as a new DVD "compilation". The result is |
| 24 |
an R0 disk which should play fine in any standard player. |
