DVD43 is a free application which removes or unlock the copy protection scheme from the media(DVD) letting users to rip or copy content from it. Its similar to the shareware alternative AnyDVD but DVD43 is free!

After installation it runs in your system tray, and auto detects the encryption on the DVD when you insert it, automatically removing the encryption in most cases (the happy face turns green when it succeeds). Sometimes your DVD structure maybe be non standard, in those cases you can always use a copy program like DVD Copy, Nero Recode, Intervideo DVD Copy to copy the DVD’s contents.
DVD43 is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. Anyways if you recently have purchased encrypted movie DVD’s you might love to take a backup of it, in most cases DVD43 is worth a try.
