    Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not but here goes.

    I am trying to copy a computer program that came on a DVD. None of the software that I have for copying movie DVD's works.

    What software can I use for making copies of protected computer programs be it on CD or DVD ???

    There are many different types of copy protections.

    * Safedisc
    * Securom
    * Laserlok
    * Lockblocks
    * Starforce
    * CDCOPS
    * Protect CD

    It also helps to have the right burner for the job. From CDFeaks:

    For this test, we will use the Sheep tests made by Alexander NoƩ. Why is it called sheep test? That's because the logo of the first 1 to 1 copy program called CloneCD is a sheep. When looking at supported writers, you will notice that the feature list has sheep to indicate if a feature is supported or not. In this case we are interested in the writer's ability to backup/write weak sectors. Also called: 'Correct EFM encoding of regular bit-patterns".

    * No sheep: Can't backup any safedisc 2 versions without the help of software tricks
    * 1 Sheep: Can backup safedisc 2 up to version 2.4x without software tricks
    * 2 Sheep: Can backup safedisc 2, including version 2.5x
    * 3 Sheep: Can write all possible weak sectors, few if any writers could do this.

    I stand corrected ! But I've made backups of all kinds of software and never had a problem even the big one's (want say their name) wonder how I did it if there are blocks in them ?
