It's the recording software which, due to current legal restrictions, has been programmed to recognise copyrighted video and to abort the recording process when such content is detected. The recording software developers had to include copyright-protection to avoid legal action being taken against them.

You were able to record the films from the TV because no software was involved in the process.
