I know that DVDs are encrypted on the file level, but why can´t I copy the VOB files in Windows? These are (encrypted) files which should be able to be copied to a local disk (encrypted) again. Is this a "feature" of the Windows Explorer? Would it be possible to copy the VOBs using a simple C application?

I am speaking of CSS encrypted VOB files or DVDs ... not encrypted VOB files can be copied easily.

Interesting enough that people are not able to read (and calling me kid - you are so stupid ...). I don´t want to use software like DVDShrink and stuff, I want to know why I can´t copy VOB files from DVDs (encrypted ones) using the Windows explorer! These are plain files ... but encrypted. Seems to have something to do with the authorization process that has to be done with the DVD drive ... but I am still searching....

Kid, in default windows doesn't alow you to copy vob files. do a google seardch for vob or DVD copier, there are MANY freeware out ther that DESTROYS the encryption. DVD shrink it the best. since with DVD shrink you can copy and then change the size of the DVD file from 8 gigs to 4 gigs if you want to back it up. or ypu can copy just the files directly from the DVD to your computer, no compression.

Not sure .... you should be able to do that.
On the other hand, if " backing up " a copyright protected CD is your goal ; use this :
http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/
Free & friendly to use .... it is simply the best. It will copy ANY DVD to the standard 4.7GB format of a blank medis (or use the dual layer format if you wish).
HOLD ON to this link .... it's not that easy to find anymore ...third parties are masking searches & charging for it.
**** just read the additional details...please tell us what error or message you get when attempting to copy *****
regards,

I can copy VOB files from dvds to my computer easily. Select the folder, copy and paste to desktop.
