Thanks for all the replies. I download a copy of DVD Decrypter from www.flexion.org. It works great to get a copy of the DVD on your hard drive. Trouble is, the files are all 6-8 gig. So they can't be put back on a normal CD. Nice try anyway. Guess I'll just buy an extra copy next time.

You need a DVD player which can disable the macrovision feature (like the original Apex 600), which is built in to all players. They are easy to find/order, but a little pricey. Start here -- http://www.codefreedvd.com/ and http://www.regionfreedvd.net/ (which is mostly for region-free info)
