CSS

To prevent unauthorized duplication, the method of encryption mostly used on commercial DVDs is called Content Scrambling System (CSS). DVD players decrypt the CSS encrypted data on the disc and the end result is the high quality presentations we see on films and other programs. CSS uses various keys, basically a string of characters that are used to authenticate the validity of the disc that the DVD player is attempting to read.
Currently, there are numerous court cases both active and pending about the software that can override this protection and allow the user to copy a DVD. Only time will tell the outcome and its affect on the DVD consumer. Learn more
