Is my video, audio or DVD protected? How can I know it?


how to understand if the file is DRM protected
Are you trying to copy a video, audio or DVD file, but for some reasons can’t do it? More likely it’s because the file is protected. Since merchants make money on selling digital data, they don’t want it to be copied for free and thus make it DRM protected. Check this article to know if you file is protected as well.

It is even easier with DVDs. You can understand if it is protected or not even without putting it inside your PC.
If the disk is licensed, bought in an official shop, it is protected. It goes without saying. But if you doubt, follow the next steps:
  • Check the box of the disk – the bow of the licensed DVD should be qualitative, bright and firm. The disk itself should not be dirty or damaged.
  • Start watching it. The menu of a protected DVD is usually colorful and professionally-made.
  • Try to copy it or convert into other formats using various programs. You can use “Freemake Video Converter”. If the DVD is protected, it won’t let you do it.

Check file protection with iTunes
