If still no, don’t worry, please follow us and you will find your answer on how to remove DVD copy protection error like error 0x80030309.
If you fail to rip a DVD and end up with a popped-up message telling you “Error 0x80030309” during the process, it mostly because the DVD you ripped uses Content Scrambling System (CSS) encryption to avoid the contained content from being easily copied by tools or other methods.
Except for CSS technology, there are many other secure encryption applied to the copy-protected DVD discs for protecting the embedded DVD content, including DVD region codes, Disney X-project protection, The Analog Protection System (APS), CGMS, Content Protection for Prerecorded Media (CPPM), Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM), Sony Advanced Regional Copy Control Operating Solution (ARccOS) DVD protection and so on.
With such a large number of different copy-protected encryption, it is more likely for people to frequently encounter copy protection error from DVD discs. Therefore, we are here to share our solutions with the public to help them overcome these obstacles.
