| Hope I'm posting this in the correct section. N00b question > I have recently purchased the fantastic game: Half Life 2. I want to make a backup copy for archival purposes. After doing a bit of digging on this site, I found that this game has something called 'Securom' protection on it. Is there a method or a piece of software that I need, to be able to back this up directly to another 'blank' DVD-R ? Edit: My DVD drive is a pioneer model (109), if this helps? Many thanks in advance for any help Regards Baz |

| the most easy way: just copy the dvd with ANY burning program for dvd's - only the data is important because of: --> when you have installed it, you'll need to activate / update it via "Steam". By doing that, it will automatically download and install the latest available updates, which remove the copy protection, so you'll never need the dvd any more, as long as you need to re-install the game... of course, this does not solve the problem of copying the dvd WITH protection, but since the available hardware is not capable of copying protected dvd's without emulation this is all you need to do with HL2...  |

this time (compared to the CD's), software development (of copy protections) goes fast, hardware development is as good as not existant when it comes to beat DVD-Copy-Protections... |
