Maurice, Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly enough.  

In the past, I have received DVDs made e.g., by people on this List. If I
place any one of those DVDs in my PC's D:\ (or E:\ drive) tray. And then
Open my Computer/File Manager, I can see the D:\ drive on my PC's screen,
and when I single click it to Open it, I can see all of the DVD's files:
VIDEO_TS_BUP, etc., VTS_01_0.IFO, etc.,  and VTS_01_1.VOB, etc..

If I highlight them and do a simple Copy and Paste to an aptly named Folder
on my hard drive, I can then using, say NERO, burn these files to a blank
dvd-r. (I have even been able to successfully do this with some Hollywood
movie DVDs from my public library, e.g., John Huston's "Wise Blood" (The
Criterion Collection).

However, when I try this same simple copying of files with other movie DVDs
from my public Library (or purchased on E-bay), I get the Error MESSAGE I
detailed in my previous e-mail (See below for its exact words.) 

I assumed that I get this message because these movie DVDs have files that
are copywright encrypted.  (Or could the message be caused for a different
reason unrelated to encryption?) 

Also, wouldn't HandBrake (or similar software) fail when a DVD's files are
encrypted/protected? If so, is there some other free special software that
can "beat" such encryption?

Hi Leo!  

The DVD standard (as I understand it) is designed to prevent simple 
file-level copying, just like CDs.  Just like CDs, however, you can use 
other programs to extract the files and back them up wherever you'd 
like.  I've found this one to be helpful: 
https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

Good luck!
