whenever I try to copy a dvd wth nero the same message keeps popping up and it says, the dvd is copy-protected and cannot be read, I dont even want to copy it, I just want to save it to my hard drive, I have seemed to try evrything so I will greatly appreciate your help. Thank you
You have to use a DVD ripping program that is able to overcome the copy protection on the disk in order to back it up. If the disk has basic CSS protection then DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink will be able to decrypt and copy to your HDD. If it has more advanced copy protection schemes then DVDFab Decrypter or AnyDVD will be required.

As laddyboy stated use one or all of the programs that he gave you links to, as Nero doesn't have a "ripper" built into it so it cannot handle copyrighted material.
If you can't make up your mind which one to use I would suggest DVD decrypter since it's free and almost always works. Another very convenient proggy that I have come to love is AnyDVD.
amf0802, if your using anydvd with dvd decrypter make sure its setup this way To use DVD Decrypter in conjunction with AnyDVD as stated per Olli ->OF SLYSOFT AND CLONEDVD Proceed to the DVD Decrypter Opening Page - Tools - Settings I/O Tab - Click on "Elby CDIO-Elaborate Bytes" General Tab - un-check "Check For Structure Protection"
