Explanation

The audio track of the video that you are copying contains a Cinavia code indicating that it was intended for duplication using professional equipment only (for example, by a professional replicator) and is not authorized for copying by consumers.

Recommendations

If the video that you are copying is a professionally produced movie or television show, you will need to obtain a copy that was made with the permission of its copyright owner.

If the video that you are copying is a home movie or other personal recording that includes some professionally produced content (including the audio track of a professionally produced movie or television show), in order to make a copy you will need to either copy only those parts of the recording that do not include professionally produced content or else you may create or obtain a version of the video that does not include this protected material.
