DVDFab Decrypter can create DVD movie backups and save them on the hard disk.

We can back up our DVD movies collection thanks to modern media storage, which is more durable and has a higher capacity than those of past ages. DVDs are likely to deteriorate over the years, making backups in drives more durable is convenient.

To make DVD data copy and store it on the hard disk is easy; drag DVD files and folders to a hard disk folder. However, movie DVDs are different; it can't be done in the same way since many of them bring a mechanism that prevents movie files from being copied onto the hard disk. We must use special software to make a DVD movie copy to a hard disk.

DVDFab Decrypter allows us to copy DVD movies to hard disk, avoiding copy protection included in those movies. This program will copy all the files and directories that are part of the movie to any location on the hard disk.

The usage is very simple, so we have to insert the DVD movie into the DVD player and launch the program. The software analyzes the movie at the start, which can take several seconds. Once it finishes, we only need to choose the directory to save movie data and click on the “Start” button. Depending on the movie's length and DVD player reading speed, the copy process may take between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The program does not compress the movie or convert it to other formats (avi, mkv, etc.); it simply copies all DVD files (.VOB, IFO, BUP, etc.) to our hard disk. It's like selecting all the files from the DVD and dragging them to a folder on our hard disk, but with this program, we will avoid copy protections.

We can select the option “turn off the computer automatically,” so PC will shut down as soon as the process is finished.

The software has not been updated since 2007, and the available version here is 3.0.8.6. There is a more modern version that is called DVDFab HD Decrypter that supports Blu-Ray. If all we want to do is copy our DVD movies, it is advisable to install DVDFab Decrypter because even though it has not been updated for years, it works perfectly and is lighter than the HD version. The installer is small, only 2 Megabytes.

The program is free, and we can use it without restrictions of any kind.
