Does Copy Protection works with DVDA 5.2?
For the first time I tried the copy protection tool in the DVDA 5.2
- disk copyrighted: yes - copy generations: none - CSS: on Macrovision: off Then I applyed this set up to a project ready to burn - audio TS and video ts prepared - and, when tested the resulting DVD with DVD Shrink, it simply ignored the copy protection and copy the dvd. So my (possibly naive) question is: is there a real way to protec a DVD working with DVDA (5.2)? Last edited by Ron German; February 4th, 2012 at 06:26 PM. |

Re: Does Copy Protection works with DVDA 5.2?
That tool is only used if you're sending files to a replicator.
From the DVDA online help menu: DVD Architect Pro software sets the flags for CSS and Macrovision copy protection. The encoding/encryption must be added by the mastering or replication facility. So my (possibly naive) question is: is there a real way to protec a DVD working with DVDA (5.2)? Nothing that the average 10 yr. old can't break with a few minutes of web surfing to find the right tool :( |

Re: Does Copy Protection works with DVDA 5.2?
I personally just tell my clients they are welcome to copy their discs to their hearts content. Their is no point in doing otherwise.

Re: Does Copy Protection works with DVDA 5.2?
Even replication house applied CSS protection on, they can be cracked easily basically with no effort these days.
Just like what Jeff said, I also tell my clients there is no copy protection. They are free to make copies to distribute (in other words, promoting your work). I did offer them $20 a copy with design, printed package. If you really want to make it not so copyable, you can try this method. Adding Copy Protection to My DVD | L.A. Color Blog

Thank you all.
In fact I have to protect this production because I intend to sell it in a one (copy) by one basis. |

Re: Does Copy Protection works with DVDA 5.2?
Right Buba, but Taky's solution would work pretty well. A typical customer would have no clue how to overcome that method. It is brilliant, or at least it appears to be.

Re: Does Copy Protection works with DVDA 5.2?
So... you seriously scratch every DVD and hope you don't scratch too far? That could be a few hundred DVDs in some cases...

Re: Does Copy Protection works with DVDA 5.2?
