ye not a new idea and not really very effective. i mean a dvd player has to be able to play the movie so the tracks containing that data must be free from such schemes. as such that data will always be able to be read so the movie can always be backed up.

From the sticky "Ripping Q&A" at the top of decrypting forum link (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=9)
1# Q: I have this disc XY that none of the ripping programs I tried could rip. Is this a new method of encryption?

A: There will never be a new encryption on DVDs. We have roughly a 100 million DVD capable devices worldwide, if not more. Now imagine making these superfluous... you simply cannot do that. The point of having a standard is that you can play anything anywhere or it wouldn't be a standard. The oldest 1st gen DVD players must be able to play every DVD that will ever be released. Of course, that's theoretical.. the oldest players may have problems with advanced discs because when they were manufactured nobody had ever created a complicated DVD project so there was no software out there to test the hardware. But rest assured.. DVD will always remain DVD and will always use the exact same technology.
