How Do I Get Around Copy Protected Dvds?
I bought an External Super Multi DVD Rewriter with Nero Express. My intentions are to copy my kids movies (that we own), to keep the original movie in new condition. When I try to burn the DVD it says it is copy protected, what do I do?

Why in the world would you want to do an illegal act?
It is against the law to steal from someone and this is exactly what you are doing when you attempt to copy copyrighted material.
Just because you may be able to do it, does not make it right to do it. I realize that you are not going to like my answer, but you have it anyway.

I agree with Debossman, it's illegal to make copies of the DVDs, even if you own them. they don't care why you want to make copies of it, and making a copy of it for your own purposes is really no different than making a copy of it to sell. I mean, why don't you just go to a movie file sharing site and download the illegal copies from there?
I don't know much about your DVD burner that you are using. Is it hooked up to your computer? If so, have you considered buying a DVD recorder (you know, one that plays and burns DVDs on your TV? I don't know if that will work for you or not. See if you can record your DVD onto VHS tape. You will lose some quality in your copy, but it sounds like you aren't too concerned with that. If you get it onto VHS, then playing it back on VHS and redubbing it onto a new blank DVD should be easy with a DVD recorder.

FYI _Under a 1992 amendment to the Audio Home Recording Act, consumers are permitted to make unlimited private use of legally purchased music and other media content stored on CD. In essence, consumers are free to copy the material so long as they do not distribute the copies to others. Consumers may make cassette copies of CDs to play in their car or copy favorite CDs onto MP3 players. They are not free to distribute the copies to other, even by giving them away.
I would still avoid making copies of DVDs, as a DVD isn't the same thing as a CD. So, if you can find something that gives you permission to make a copy of a VHS tape, then and only then would I assume that it applies to DVDs as well.
From an earlier post:
On Windows, I have used DVD43. It runs in the background and bypasses copy protection on the fly.
