I would like to make copies of some original DVD’s I have. I downloaded Decrypter program to make a copy. My question: Will decrypter alter, in any way, my original disks. Will the original disks still be uncopyable, after having made copies using decrypter? I don’t want to alter my originals. Thanks for answering my questions..
