Media copy protection

Media content, such as DVDs or TV programs, might place restrictions on rights to distribute or copy the content, depending on what is permitted by the copyright owner. Such restrictions protect copyrighted media files from being illegally copied and used. If you try to record a program that contains such restrictions, the following message appears: Recording Canceled. Manual Recording cannot be recorded. Restrictions that are set by the broadcaster and/or originator of the content prohibit recording of this program. When you record certain music or video files, they might retain copy-protection restrictions that will prevent copying or distribution, including technology that encrypts media content and/or limits access only to people who have a license to play the content.
