CAN I LOCK A DVD AFTER IT'S BEEN BURNDED SO NO-ONE ELES CAN COPY IT?

Can you lock a DVD after it has bee burned?

It is possible, but not an easy or cheap solution in the case of video DVDs (ones that can be played in a DVD player).
If you mean a playable DVD (one that can be played in a DVD player)  - you can only do this with additional software such as RipGuard.  It's not a cheap solution and requires a pc with WinXP.  There are DVD replication houses that can do this for you, of course for a fee.  Even if implemented, however, there are plenty of DVD ripper apps out there that can defeat the copy protection.
If you mean a data DVD (one that contains data files that may be read by a computer but not played on a DVD player) - you can do this by creating an encrypted disc image in Disk Utility and then burning it to DVD media.  You will then need the key (password) in order to open the disk.

    Dear Customer,
    Welcome to HP Support Forum and we are glad to assist you.
    It looks like you are not able to Boot into the Operating System on your Notebook.
    We will surely assist you with this.
    Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
    As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition
    is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
    If Recovery Partition is corrupted
    You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    OR
    You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest

  • Can not Burn CD/DVD after update to 10.6.7

    Since I have updated to 10.6.7 from 10.6.6, I can't burn a DVD or CD in the Super drive. I switched back to 10.6.6 and everything worked, switching back to 10.6.7, no burning can happen. The burn file locks and would not allow the lock to be removed from the "Get Info" in the file sec. Any solution? please help

    Downloaded the Combo Update (other than the one intended for 'early 2011 MBP', and it will not run on this computer. Says something like it is not authorized, or not intended for this computer. Did re-run the update for 'early 2011 MBPs' same result. Was able to solve the font display issue, but not the incorrect icon issue, and FaceTime will not run at all. Says it is not designed for the OS I have on this computer, and will not even start. I have tried to go to the AppStore, just to see if I can download the latest version - no dice. Won't let me download it. Says FT already installed on this computer. Tried deleting FT, and then downloading - same message. ?????

  • My CDROM can`t read some dvd after changing windows

    hi,i have hp probook 450 g1 , i had windows 8.1 but i had some problems so changed my windows and install windows 8.1.1 i install all of my drivers but after i change my windows the CDROM can`t read some DVDs specially DVD9 and the sound of CDROM is changed and it`s strange for such this DVD that it can`t read it reads them some times , but most of the time can`t read , it make me crazy , please help me 

    Hi Yolanda,
    the error message is inside a popup: (French trnaslation) "Windows media Player encountered an error and will close." I have the choice beetween "CLOSE" and "HELP ON THE WEB".
    Of course the "help" is totally useless....
    I don't see any troublshooter related to "media player". The only troubleshooter where I can choose Media player is for the "compatibility mode", so it's not helpful. On the "audio and devices" troubleshooter I see "read
    a DVD with Windows Media Player", but that's not my case.
    I've already done the last step. I copy the MP3 from my second computer to the "problematic" one, and I can't read my file. But, on the second computer, i can read this MP3 so the issue is ONLY when I try to read this file with my Windows session.
    (in the same computer, with the administrator session, I can read all the files).
    To put it in a nutshell:
    on computer A logged as CEDRIC i can not read the mp3 called SUPERSONG (it's an example lol)
    on computer A logged as administrator, I can read the SUPERSONG
    on computer B logged as CEDRIC (other local account but same name) I can read the SUPERSONG mp3 that is present in the music Library (that is not the same file, but it's a file with the same name, and of crouse this is the same song). (all my MP3 are copied
    from computer A to computer B in case of failure on one of the computers)
    on computer A logged as CEDRIC, if I do a
    \\computerB\c$\...\SUPERSONG I can not read it.
    I know this is complicated to explain, but if I ask to the Microsoft community that is because I don't know what to do ;) ;) ;) 

  • What is the best resolution (1080, 720?) video and the best sound (PCM/AAC, bit, and kHz) that I can burn onto a DVD after creating in iMovie?

    I have a Zoom HD Q3 video camera that also records good sound.  An Apple Genius once told me that a DVD can only reproduce a certain level of quality in video and sound just like a CD can only produce a certain level of sound quality.  For instance you can't burn true high definition video onto a DVD.  You would need a Blue Ray Disc. But I forgot the specific data that the Genius shared with me.  If my end goal is to make a DVD of my band performing, it doesn't make sense to record in a higher quality that I'm capable of reproducing on a DVD.  Can I shoot 1080 or 720 (30 ore 60 fps)?  My sound options are first PCM or AAC format, then PCM has a sample rate of 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz, and choice of 16 or 24 bit length.  The AAC format has only one sample rate of 48 kHz but a bit rate choice ranging from 160, 192, 224, 256 or 320 kbps.  Yikes.  I'm not a sound engineer but I know this camera probably offers me a higher quality in both video and sound than the DVD can reproduce.
    Of course, I have this same question with my Sony video camera.  I can shoot AVCHD or MP4.  iPhoto can't even import AVCHD so that question was answered for me but do I shoot MP4 12M  1440x1080 or do I shoot MP4 6M  12180x720?  My end goal is always to burn a DVD.  I don't understand what any of the above values mean in both paragraphs and don't necessarily need to know other than which to choose if making a DVD is my final goal.  Thank you.
    Richard

    This is the forum for iOS (iPads and iPhones).
    But I can answer your question; DVD scan only be SD.
    Which in PAL land is 720 x 576 pixels (which can be stretched 16:9 anamorphic).
    And is 720 x 480 in NTSC.
    If you shoot in a higher quality then you will have a sharper image in the final DVD, but it will only be SD in the final encode.
    iPhoto is a photo app, so no it can't import AVCHD; iMovie Mac can.
    I will see if I can get this question moved to the correct forum so you get more answers.

  • I can't activate my phone after reformatting it. My old appleID can't unlock the phone after it was been hacked and erase information inside

    I am having dilemma after reformatting my iPhone 5 and I can't get through the re-activation page. It requires me to log-in using my old apple ID which I abandoned 2 years ago after it was been hacked. Apparently, I was able to retrieve my old Apple ID and iCloud, however, the purchased items, downloaded apps, the linked device ("find my iphone app" to link) and other information were wiped out. I reset the password several times to see whether it helps, but still shows error message "Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this phone".
    Any advices and help to get through?

    Also I have not done anything to the phone ever since I bought it, so I assume that it's locked?

  • None of my iDevices can read my iTunes library after an hour of availibility. When I first start iTunes I can read the library, but after about 30 minutes my iPad's and iPhones can no longer access the library. I see it in the shared list, but no access.

    None of my iDevices can read my iTunes library after about 30 minutes. My iDevices lose connection to my library and  I have to do one of the three following things in iTunes to regain connectivity: 1. Restart iTunes 2: Stop / Start Home Services 3: Start playing a song.
    I'ts as if iTunes goes into a background or sleep mode. During the loss of connectivity my iDevices show that there's a library shared, but I cannot connect to it.

    Smae issue here, but I'm unable to get Home Sharing started again (after MAc and iOS restarts, Home Sharing on/off. etc.) This happend a few weeks ago and turngin Home Sharing Off/On fixed the connection issue b/w iPad2 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.1 running on a OSX10.6.8.
    I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on iPad2 today, watched a movie and then about 20 minutes into a 2nd movie I lost connection (Sharing tab in Video app disappeared and has not come back.) The update seems like the culprit, but odd it worked for over 2 hours before stopping, odd I can't get Sharing to work anymore (iTunes see's my iOS devices b/c I can conenct to iTunes to enter my passcod efor connecting the Remote app.) Appears to be an issue with iTunes broadcasting Home Sharing, even thougt it says it is on.

  • Can a video be revised after it's been saved?

    Can a video made in iMovie be revised after it's been saved?

    Indeed, it can. However, if you modify it after it's been published or shared, you'll need to republish/reshare it.

  • Can't mount movie DVDs after Security Update 2006-002

    I installed Security Update 2006-002 today after all the preparation recommended by MacFixit. Everything came up fine, EXCEPT:
    Movie DVDs (e.g., as rented from Blockbuster) no longer mount.
    Yesterday, there was no problem.
    Dual G5 2.5 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    The following link describes MacFixit's recommendation for installation of 10.4.6, but it is basically the same recommendation as they have given for quite a while for any significant system update, including security updates:
    http://www.macfixit.com/index.php?date=2006-04-03
    Scroll down until you see "Update process recommendation".
    In my case, I had followed the "more cautious route" of this procedure but still had a problem, and then the problem went away when I did a (presumably extra) pre-binding.
    For system-wide updates (that is, 10.4.x -> 10.4.(x+1)) I've always used combo updaters rather than the supposedly specific-and-therefore-smaller updaters when updating the system. For the security update in question here, I downloaded the updater from the Apple site rather than use Software Update.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I burn a DVD after I "Share" a project to a folder?

    Working wiht Premiere Elements 8 -
    I'm having issues with the DVD burner on on my Win 7 machine and I'm looking for a way to burn multiple DVD's more efficiently. I have Shared the project to a folder and want to be able to burn the DVD's from the folder. This will save me a lot of time as the project won't need to keep encoding every time I try to burn the disk. Buring multiple disks doesn't seem to work for me either.
    Any ideas on how to make this happen?
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Thanks Bill. I downloaded the shareware and started the burn (before I left for work this morning), so I'll be able to test it and see how well it works...
    I'm sure it will be fine - but I'll let you know how it goes and update the "Question has been answered" next reply

  • How can I rip a dvd that has not been finalized.

    I need to recovery the video for work.  I can clearly see the content has been burned into the dvd, but since its not finalized, I cannot access any of it.  What can I do?  What software do I need?  I saw most forums suggest ISO-buster for PC users.  Is there an option for Mac users?

  • Stupid question, I know, but after years of using Firefox, on this one I can't find the Page Reload icon?? Please help.

    In the past, when I want to refresh a page, I've simply gone to the page reload icon on the toolbar. On the new version, I can't fin the reload icon. Sorry I know this is a very stupid question,, but I just can't find that reload icon. The toolbar is a lot different from previous versions, but I'm sure tht pesky icon must be there somewhere!!

    Hi merren,
    Not a stupid question at all :) You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article with common questions after upgrading].
    You could also benefit from the looking at the article on [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars customizing the tool bar]. That will show you not only how to verify that you have the refresh button, but give you options on where it lives as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Oracle.exe keeps locking a file after connection has been closed.

    Hi,
    I've written a windows service in .net that monitors a directory for new uploaded files that need to be synchronized with the database. When it detects a new file it moves the file to a another directory from which oracle can reach the file. When the file is moved. I open a connection with the database that performs a select * ... on the external table which reads the file. This all works like a charm and afterwards i dispose of the connection.
    Then i try to move the file again to another directory because it has been processed, but then i got an System.IO.IOException because the file is locked by a process. When i check by which process it is oracle.exe and the lock stays untill i terminate my service. When i debug the service i double checked and the connection state is closed before i try to move it again. For some reason oracle.exe locks the file untill i kill the service that opened the connection.
    If i need to give more specific information please ask, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Pieter

    Do you see the same behavior is you select * from sqlplus instead of the odp app, but don't disconnect the sqlplus session?
    ODP has pooling on by default, so even though you close and dispose the connection, the underlying hard connection stays open.
    I dont know if there's a way to unlock the file without disconnecting which may be the ideal solution, but if not you could probably just disable connection pooling (set pooling=false in the connect string) to get around it.
    Hope it helps,
    Greg
