Titolo: Making 1 *LEGAL* Copy of a DVD disc:

Hello everyone!! I'm going to go out on a limb here, and talk about
something that is illegal, but is still something I am interested in
for LEGAL REASONS, and as such, am hoping to possibly get some help
with these issues from someone who reads this. All I want to do is to
be able to make BACK-UP COPIES of DVD movies that I *PUCHASED* AND NOW
**OWN**. That's it!! I don't want to copy them, and sell them to other
people for my own profit, make copies of them for friends so they won't
have to go out and buy them themselves, or *ANYTHING ELSE*!!!! The
reason I want to do this, is because I want to avoid damaging the DVD
discs by handling the originals all the time everytime I want to watch
them. Again, THAT'S **ALL**!! I do *NOT* want to break the law to do
this, but at present, (As far as I know), there is no other way to do
it.... And so, here I am. Typing this message to everyone in the hopes
that someone out there can advise me as to what I can do to achive my
goal. I have already aquired a copy of a program wich decrypts
the ".VOB" files found on commercial DVD discs so they can be copied to
a hard drive or other media type. All it appears I need now, is the
utility to Re-Encrypt the .VOB files once copied to the new media, (In
this case, a blank DVD-RAM disc), so that the DVD players will
recognize, and play them correctly. As it is now, after decrypting
the .VOB files and viewing them individually, all of the "Multiple
Region" coding that is in each.VOB file, (I.e. Segments of the movie
that are displayed during playback of ANY parts of a film where there
are sections that need to be played seperately to cater to the Region
Code of whatever player their being played on), is repeated several
times during the credits scenes, as well as any and all scenes where
same said Region Code determines what the viewer of the film sees while
watching. (I.e. Scenes where the time of day, year, depicted locations,
etc, are displayed in texts on-screen, title of the film itself, etc,
etc). This makes the movie, (For me, at least), unworthy of being
watched, and is VERY annoying, as you can probably imagine. From what I
can figure out, these occurrences will stop happening once the contents
of the Original DVD disc are not only copied to the blank DVD-RAM disc,
(The Support Files of the .BUP and .IFO types in addition to the .VOB
ones), but also, AFTER the .VOB files are Re-Encrypted on same said DVD-
RAM disk itself so that, when read by a DVD Player, will be
appropriately displayed. So.... With all that said, I now ask you all
the following questions:
1> Is there a CSS Encryptor available out there anywhere that I can
either buy, or download, that will allow me to Re-Encrypt .VOB files
AFTER they are copied to a DVD-RAM disk!?!?
2> Does anyone know of a LEGAL way to back-up DVD discs that a person
**OWNS** ****SOLEY**** for the purposes of  making *ONE* (1) copy to
keep the Original DVD dics from being damaged from scratching and/or
other possible damage that it may accidently be subjected to!?!?
Thanks to you ALL for taking the time to read all of this!!!! I
*REALLY* don't like breaking the law just to make 1 copy of a DVD disc
for LEGAL REASONS!! As a matter of fact, I ****HATE**** IT!!!! But when
I'm given no other options, I have to do SOMETHING!!!! I'd be happy if
the MPAA, (Or someone), would set up something for people like me and
allow us to, for a low cost fee, and after supplying Proof Of Purchase,
recieve a second copy FROM THEM so that all of this need for US to go
fishing around for ways to do it illegally wouldn't be needed AT
ALL!!!! But, as it looks now, that will probably, if not definately
Never Happen. What a ****SHAME****........
