How to Remove DVD CPRM Protection for Smooth Playback on PC?

Frequently Meet Situations on CPRM DVD

Q: My wife has some DVDs that were made in Japan. I believe they were off the air recordings done on a Sony Recorder. They are -R, and have CPRM protection. There is no problem to play CPRM protected DVD with a player which supports CPRM or PowerDVD Plus. But I have not found a way to get rid of that protection CPRM. Has anyone found a solution?

Q: I have just rendered a home movie onto one of these discs and the picture is garbled, sound is OK. Is this something to do with CPRM because I've never heard of it before and wouldn't have bought the discs otherwise.

Q: I had a friend in Japan who burned some DVDs of a Japanese TV program. On the DVD it says that it is DVD-R and CPRM. Is it because it is in Japanese Digital TV that my DVD player or my DVD burner on my computer will not recognize the DVD? Can anyone shed light on the situation for me, please.

Content Protection for Recordable Media

Have you ever met the vexatious issues listed above? And speaking of CPRM, you may not be familiar with it. Don't worry. Here is a brief introduction to CPRM protection.

What Is CPRM Protection?

CPRM (short for Content Protection for Recordable Media) is a sort of digital rights management that applies to controlling content copying and moving. As a copy control method, CPRM can greatly protect the copyright owners’ rights. However, it also imposes restrictions on DVD owners’ reasonable use of the DVD content. It is widely used in Japan and other areas, so recording something from a TV broadcast to a DVD recorder may include protection and make it unplayable on players which do not support CPRM.

If the DVD content can be copied only once, DVD RW CPRM discs can record it in VR mode while they cannot reproduce the record. Though you can set your device in VR mode and insert CPRM DVD RW to remove the requirements on format, if the DVD discs are not compliant with CPRM technology, it would be completely unable to copy the content.

In this case, you need a CPRM-compatible player or a CPRM decrypter to assist you if you want to play the CPRM DVD smoothly.
