I'm trying to copy a dvd that is a read only. I've tried to rip it with dvd fab decrypter, dvd shrink and dvd43. I've also tried to tape it from one dvd player to a dvd recorder. Does anyone know what I can do to copy this dvd?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Hi!

ALL commercial, pressed DVDs are "Read Only".

What is the Title and Region of the DVD?

That Disney DVD was released in 2004 and, therefore, shouldn't contain any special/newer copy protection. Your disc is likely either dirty or damaged.

Try cleaning it. If that doesn't do the trick, if possible, return it to the place of purchase in exchange for a new one...
