DVD Copy Protection without CSS

Is it possible for DVDSP4 to put any copy protection on a burned disc without using CSS?
What happens if you enable copyright management, set it for no copy permitted, but don't click the CSS box. Does that do anything at all?
For example, a client calls and needs 10 copies of a disc and they want it copy protected. Is there a way to do this on my MacPro, as opposed to enabling CSS and sending it off to be replicated?
Thanks,
Chris

I am wondering why DVDSP allows you to turn copy management on, and select "no copying permitted" and doesn't require you to turn on CSS. If CSS was the only way to copy protect, I would think there wouldn't be on/off toggle box for it. Once you selected "no copying permitted" CSS would automatically be enabled.
When I burn the DVD, in the log, it says something like my device "cannot work with copy generation management."
This makes me believe, that with the right burner, although it may be basic, there is a way to copy protect a burned DVD without using CSS.
Maybe I'm dreaming.

  • Copy Protection without DLT - Link does not work

    I'm trying to find out how I can protect DVDS with Encore. Or if anyone knows of reasonably priced software to do this. I see there is a link to something called, Protection without DLT, but the link does not work....
    Help!

    CSS keys are only licensed to replicators, player manufacturers, etc. so it is highly unlikely that there will ever be a free solution for creating encrypted DVDs.
    CSS encryption is worthless, by the way.  It has been compromised for over a decade.  There are more complex copy-protection methods available that work by creating malformed structures on the DVD meant to confuse "ripping" programs.  However, they are an additional cost from third parties and, more significantly, they run the risk of making your product incompatible with older players or with some computer DVD-ROM drives or software players. 
    Your replication facility can tell you which additional copy-protection methods they offer and what their cost is.

  • DVD Copy protection

    Hi All,
    I am building a dvd of a get-together party, and I don't want others to make copies of it.
    Does Encose CS5 have any feature to prevent dvds from being copied / duplicated?
    Please advise. Thanks.
    Shiva

    To add a bit... (my general understanding... I don't do replication)
    For replication (creation of a "glass master" which is used to "press" discs, not burn with a laser) you send a tape or special kind of DVD to the replication house... after telling Encore to set the protection "flag" in your output, which creates a different kind of "incomplete" output file
    When the replication house receives your "flagged/incomplete" file, they add the copy protection "piece" to make a "complete" file and then use that file to create the glass master
    That copy protection will last just about 117 seconds... the time it takes someone to use Google to find and then download a program to break the protection... maybe 2 or 3 minutes if the person has a slow internet connection
    All in all... not worth the effort

  • Copy Protected DVD's?

    We use Final Cut Express and iDVD to create event DVD's, however, we have had some people make duplicates of our work, inhibiting sales.
    Anything we can do to make the DVD's copy-protected? Any other ideas?

    DVD Copy-protect
    Hi
    No there is non.
    The most common solution is to put a loggo that stays on the full movie.
    eg. Copyrighted. Or "Made by " etc.
    Not even if You buy FinalCut Studio and get DVD-Studio Pro. You will not get this.
    The Copy-protection in DVD-Studio Pro is just a falg set to allert DVD-producers
    to make this in DVD-burning Companies.
    There is such protections to Commersial materials and to astronomical costs.
    And one can figure to what need, when there are no really secure Copy-protection.
    What also is possibly is to apply some uniqe-ness to each DVD, than log who got which one
    then if an illegal copy can be obtained it can be traced back to whom let it to be copied.
    One can only plead to respect the Copyrights

  • DVD Production with Copy Protection at home.

    I'm interested in investing in some sort of mass DVD production equipment. Like a burning tower or something like that but I'd like to encorporate some sort of copy protection into the mix.
    Does anyone know anything about this kind of thing or can point me to a solution provider of some kind?
    I'm looking to graduate from the one at a time ink jet printed system.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul,
    Yeah as David says, you cannot get a system that will allow you to put copy protection on your discs. The process that allows the to occur is called replication. It involves a glass master that stamps discs with the data. However, for shorter runs, duplication is often used. Duplication uses lasers to burn pits in a dvd-r media. It does not support protection in the form of CSS (content scrambling system). However, if you are still interested in a larger volume DVD duplication system, check out the Bravo II from primera. There are many other options out there as well. Just do a google search. You may have a little difficulty finding duplicators that are mac compatible since a lot of them use disc juggler which is windows only software. However, there are still a number of good options out there. Good Luck!

  • Copy-Protecting DVDs against piracy in DVD Studio Pro; or otherwise ?

    Copy-Protecting DVDs against piracy in DVD Studio Pro; or otherwise ?
    I'm about to start encoding to MPEG2 a very important project that I've edited in Final Cut Pro.
    It is vital that it cannot be copied by the client or I could lose a lot of money.
    In the past this has never been a concern, but in this case it is very important.
    What is the best way to prevent a client/people from copying your DVDs?
    Is there anything I can do within DVD Studio Pro or is there anything the Replication house can do at the Glass-Mastering stage?
    I'm sure this topic has been covered, but a quick search found nothing.
    Thanks guys.

    Common problem but no easy answer. It's simply too easy to get around.
    If you want to prevent finished master disks being copied in the same way commercial disks are then you will need to get them made at a duplication facility. Not cheap. You can't do it in DVD studio, it's to do with the disk burner.
    On a feature film it is very important to prevent copies of work in progress. What a lot of cutting rooms do is make dvd's with the name of the person burnt in and a copy number. Often a large X with 30% opacity is put in the middle of frame.
    This can't stop copies being made but at least you will know where they came from. It also seems to make the person who's name is burnt in take more care.
    Sorry but thats the best I can offer.

  • Copy Protect when I try and create a DVD

    Help please. I created a movie using FCE 1.0. I then "printed to video" to capture the final movie on a Sony Hi8 Camcorder with Firewire. I then tried to create a DVD by connecting the camcorder to a Philips DVD Recorder using the standard RCA jacks. The recorder shows the message "Copy Protected" and will not record the movie. Is this a setting within FCE or the content?
    Help!

    Really not sure about this, but I doubt it's anything to do with FCE. Is it some copy protection built into the DVD recorder? I.e to stop you copying DVDs. Does the DVD Recorder normally work with this jacks? Is there any other way to connect to the recorder?

  • Fillable forms question - FrameMaker to PDF - Without losing copy protection options

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a solution that will allow us to integrate fields in a Chapter Review-style question area where users can comment their answers (instead of using StickyNotes). It must disallow printing/copying etc to meet content protection requirements. I've dug through all of my options and can't seem to find any viable method without allowing the "Edit Content" option which allows users to copy the content.
    We're currently using FrameMaker 9 but will be jumping to TCS5 soon.
    As an example, we would want something like the following question, which exists in a FrameMaker document, to be commented on:
    2. Which DID/DNIS mapping is recommended for mapping a single extension?
    Thank you in advance for any assistance with this.

    > It must disallow printing/copying etc to meet content protection requirements.
    ebook format copy protection is largely an illusion. Leaving aside the availability of euphemistically named "password recovery" software, the widespread availability of low-cost (often bundled free) OCR software means: If you can see it, you can recover the text, unless it's heavily CAPTCHA'd.
    Even if the user is blocked from reading the computer's frame buffer (i.e., prevented from using the PrintScreen key on Windows), most cell phones now have cameras with more than sufficient resolution for full text recovery. Some users even know how to turn off the flash .
    If the supposedly eyes-only document is available on the web, I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that one or more search engines has already OCR'd and indexed every word in it (you can be sure that the NSA's has).
    Managers asking for copy protection need to realize that they are making the authoring task much harder for little benefit, and often creating pointless annoyance for end users. Copy protection might briefly deter casual copiers, but is no obstacle at all to anyone the least bit tech savvy.
    If copy prevention really matters, each copy of the document needs to be computer-generated for the specific licensed end user, with user-customized, easily traced content.
    All that aside, and assuming management can't be dissuaded on the copy protection issue, does TimeSavers support insertion of form fields while preserving security settings?

  • The disc copy protection could not be verified [-70025] macbook dvd error

    Hi all,
    I've a 3 month old macbook but for some reason it's unable to play any genuine, retail dvds. I just get this error message: the disc copy protection could not be verified [-70025]. Front Row just quits and VLC is unpredictable.
    Ironically, backup dvds of the same films work fine. Ive tried reseting the vmc and pram, reinstalling tiger then leopard from fresh installs and getting all necessary software updates. Nothing. Could this be the dreaded firmware superdrive update?
    Any advice/help would be much appreciated

    there are more users with that problem:

  • Copy protection in  Adobe Encore DVD 2.0

    I use Encore 1.0, and it doesn't have much to offer in the way of copy protection (you have to master to a special kind of tape, and go through some more hoops). Does Version 2.0 offer a more user-friendly way to keep ones DVD's from being copied at will by one's customers?

    Hi Steven,
    Up until 4 weeks ago, copy protection for recordable DVDRs was not available, however it now is. The copy Protection available is Macrovision's RipGuard anti-ripping copy protection which already protects over 200 million of Hollywood's DVDs. Macrovision has completed the rework of RipGuard to allow it's implimentation on Recordable DVD, and in the last 30 days we have already protected over 2000 Recordables.
    On top of that is is very affordable, ranging from just a few dollars per disc, to less than a dollar per disc based upon quantities from 1 DVDR to 500+ DVDR.
    Currently we are the only licensed and accredited Provider of this service in the U.S. because of our long standing partnership with Macrovision and their confidence in our quality control systems and infrastructure.
    Beginning Monday, June 25th, we launch our national marketing campaign for RipGuard-MOD, and you will be reading about it in trade journals everywhere.
    I invite you to give me a call and I would be happy to provide you with more information and pricing. You can also visit: www.RipGuardMOD.com for more information and to download the RipGuard MOD Datasheet.
    I look forward to speaking with you.

  • DVD +Copyright/copy protection

    I am a sports videographer. I use Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 to edit and burn game dvds for my customers. My customers are telling me that they are unable to take clips off my dvds to create highlight dvds or video files to send to college coaches on the internet because my dvds are somehow "copyright protected" or copymaking proof signal embedded or whatever the technical term is for what is keeping them from achieving their project. I am not wittingly clicking on any feature to make this happen on purpose. I tried to find the problem and solution in the manual but could not find anything. I hope I am describing my dilemma correctly. Is there a way to disengage this feature so that my customers can do anything they want with the footage on the dvds I make for them?  Thank you for your help.

    Welcome to the forum.
    As ATR states, PrE cannot create a DVD-Video with Copy Protection. No burned DVD-Video can have Copy Protection, as such, but only replicated DVD's, and PrE is not capable of producing such material, even if one is going to a replication house. That is not the issue here.
    Now, are you providing the clients with DVD-Video (with the VIDEO_TS folder structure, to be played on a computer with DVD software, or from a set-top DVD player hooked to a TV), or are you providing DVD-Data discs, where you are just Copying the AV files to a DVD disc, for distribution? The discs would look the same, but have different folder structures burned onto them.
    How are your clients trying to extract the files? With a DVD-Video, the media files will be in a VOB container, and those might need to be ripped from the DVD-Video, to be used. PrE can do that ripping, providing that the DVD-Video is 100% DVD-compatible. The VOB's created by PrE should be 100% DVD-compatible. Not all NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs CAN Import and work with VOB's. In those cases, other software is needed to rip the MPEG-2 DVD AV files from the VOB containers, to Import and edit those. This might mean an additional step for the clients, but that will depend on the software that they have access to, and might differ, client to client.
    As a test, though limited to PrE, I would take one of your DVD's, Copy the VIDEO_TS folder to an internal HDD, then Open a New Project in PrE (NTSC, or PAL DV would be the desired Project Preset, and either Standard 4:3, or Widescreen 16:9, depending on which you shot), and then Import the VOB's into that Project. Do you get any errors? Remember, that will ONLY tell you, if you have created the VOB's, such that PrE can Import those. Depending on the clients' software, they might, or might not be able to use the VOB's directly.
    Good luck, and sorry to add more questions to ATR's, but the answers to all, might tell the story.

  • Copy-protecting a DVD studio pro (DVDSP)

    I am new to DVDSP and wanted to check that I have properly copy-protected an authored DVD that I created.
    (NB I realise that dedicated hackers will be able to copy it, but I did want a basic form of protection).
    This is what I've done so far. When authoring the project I ticked the box that says that only one copy of the DVD can be made, and then successfully burnt the project.
    From this DVD I've just created, how many copies can I now create? Is it just the one? Or can I create as many copies as I like, but each copy cannot be copied? Or, maybe none of the above answers?
    Your help for a novice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    J

    As Jeremy indicates all you did was create the flags. Protected discs must be made by replication, as opposedto "burning." however, there are now some processes out there that put pretty strong anti-copying protection on burned discs. I have one vendor who does my short runs for me.

  • DVD copyright protection issues ( G3Ti200 Pro-TD(MS-8851)

    Maybe some of you have already experienced this. But I just installed an internal DVD player in my PC with "Power DVD" software. I was quite happy playing several different DVD's until recently when an error message came up stating: "The TV Out port of your display card is not working properly", and: "This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled".
     Now I have had much problems in the past with TV out. Driver updates do not support the TV out function, and it in effect becomes disabled. However, in the VGA card bios it is still enabled by default. So I have a video card that says TV out doesn't work and a DVD player which says it does. BUT, there doesn't seem to be a tab or button anywhere in the configuration utility to disable it!
      My question is: does anyone know of a regedit or any other means to disable the tv out function of my video card? Also: the move I was trying to watch was "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", practically speaking can anyone address which copyright software is causing this issue? Is this listed on the package? Does anyone know of other movies incompatible with your or my system?
    MSI: this is also a question you need to address in that you are selling a product not compatible with its intended use.
    Let's not lose sight of the real issue here people. This is nothing more than the largest companies in the world extorting even more money out of our already empty pockets. AOL-Time-Warner, Sony, Viacom, and so on, are stealing our money because they can and no one is stopping them. They took $5 of my money, and I wasn't even able to use their product.

    Hi,
    I'm not familiar with your hardware, but here's a couple of things you could try.
    TV-out is usually not enabled in the first place if there is no TV connected, so you could either boot without the TV connected, or disable it by disconnecting and then clicking on the "Detect Displays" button (at somewhere like Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> nVidia). Note that the test for presence of a TV is a fairly simple resistance measurement, which will detect a connected TV or VCR etc., even if it is switched off.
    Hopefully, the copy protection will then not think that you are trying to copy the DVD to a VCR connected to the TV out port. (Naturally, no-one would ever think of using an external VGA-TV converter    )
    TVTool is also worth checking out at http://www.tvtool.de - although it might not work with your hardware.
    Cheers
