Nowadays, the latest Blu-ray or DVD discs are usually protected by one or more disc protection technologies. Among the disc protection technologies used by Disney, Disney Copy Protection System is one of the most complex and widely used disc encryption technologies. Disney Copy Protection System uses X-project DRM for encoding, which makes Disney DVDs have a lot of movie titles. The number of these movie titles is usually 99, in order to confuse DVD ripper software. If people use DVD ripper to convert only one of the movie titles, they can often only get a video with a length of only 1 to 2 minutes.
