    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption.

VLC Recording Problem

Usually I have no problem using VLC to record screen, but lately when I record a movie, it showed blurred screen.

Then I turn to a video converting tool(recommended by a friend), which also has the screen recording function. This time it works.

Just wondering why? I used VLC for a long time, and encountered this problem for the first time, do you guys have the same problem? Must I have the two mentioned programs at the same time?:\

If the movie is a commercial DVD, then it's very likely copy protected, VLC will not record it.

Given that you can take screenshots of DVDs played by VLC, a Quicktime Screen Recording may work.

Thanks buddy. But I don't intend to turn to the third one (Quicktime Screen Recording) for help. So I just keep both VLC and MacX Video Converter Pro. Enough for me currently.
