Can users add movies that are ripped to PCs and other networked devices?
No. Ripping movies removes CSS and we do not believe that ripping DVDs is legal. Does Request have a CSS license from DVD CCA? ReQuest uses a licensed and fully compliant CSS player and preserves all CSS. We are just like Microsoft Vista that does not have a CSS license; to play DVDs you must install and use a licensed player. Our licensed player is included in our IMC. Can you rip DVDs straight to your hard drive servers? We do not rip DVDs. The system will create a personal backup or archive of the DVD on the server. When users want to watch this video, the media is played through a fully compliant and licensed CSS player and preserves all CSS. Signing an agreement with the DVD-CCA is not a license to import, rip, or archive a DVD to a hard disk. It is a license that grants the right to use the CSS encryption and decryption keys contained on a DVD for the purpose of playback or to master DVD media for distribution. The primary signers of the CCA agreement are DVD player manufacturers
