Austin replies:

You need to rip the movie to your hard disc with a program that
defeats CSS encryption.  Google 'DVD Decrypter' or 'DVDFab
Decrypter'.  DVD Decrypter is no longer supported, so many
newer movies will need DVDFab Decrypter.

After you rip the movie to the hard drive, you need to burn a copy.
If the files you ripped were from a dual layer DVD (as most movies
are), then they can be as much as 8.5gb.  Use 'DVD Shrink' to
compress down to 4.7gb and burn to a single layer DVD-R.

DVD Shrink and DVDFab Decrypter are both free programs.
