DVD Decrypter is a software application that can create backup disc images of the DVD-Video structure of DVDs. It can be used to image any DVD, but is especially useful for decrypting copy-protected movies. The program can also record images to disc. CSS decrypting software (such as DVD Decrypter, AnyDVD, Smartripper and DVD Shrink) allows a region-specific DVD to be copied as an all-region DVD. It also removes Macrovision, Content Scrambling System (CSS), region codes, and user operation prohibition.

The program was once distributed as freeware, but is no longer legally available for distribution in certain jurisdictions.

The burning engine is being used in a new program called ImgBurn. The disc images can be:
-Viewed on the PC using software such as PowerDVD and WinDVD (WinDVD, however, can only view complete DVD-Video structures.)
-Encoded to a smaller size and stripped of unwanted extras like film trailers with re-authoring tools like DVD Shrink and Nero Recode.
-Burned onto optical media (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL and DVD-RAM) to produce discs playable in stand-alone/hardware DVD players.
-Exported to VCD, SVCD or DivX format and possibly recorded onto CD-R or CD-RW media.
