DVD Level 0 Master for Copy Protection

Just wondering how this is done and where necessary with sending a DVD like this for replication.

Usually the replication plant will want a DDP file for replication and you can flag the DDP file for Macrovision and/or CSS for protection (which the bad guys can get around FYI.)
The DDP files are on either DLT or DVD-R (check with the plant what format they prefer, DLT used to be the only way, and still is the most reliable.)
Do you mean Layer 0? (Was a bit unsure what you meant by that part...)

Adobe program for copy-protected online video tutorial?

Which Adobe program should I use to create an online video tutorial that is copy-protected? Thank you

Nothing in Creative Cloud can apply copy-protection to a video. Even a streaming server such as AMS ( Buying guide : Product Comparison | Adobe Media Server family ) cannot stop someone from recording the stream with a screen-grabber as it's playing.

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

IDVD making projects copy protected

The last DVD I made using iMovie and iDVD made my finished project copy protected. I did not choose to do that. How can I remove the copy protection? This is a personal movie that I want to share.

Hi Ziatron.
There are commercial programs that makes a Copy-Protection - but non is 100%.
iDVD and DVD Studio Pro - can not do this
• DVD Studio Pro - has a Copy Protection selection - but this is just a flag to the DVD-makers to remembering them to add this in the bulk burning process. So it doesn't do anything more.
For those that urge a disbelief - try a Disney DVD. They know what they do.

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?

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.
Sincerely,

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 Protection for home movies

I have a small video recording business. I taped a ballet recital and will sell the videos to the parents. I would like to know if there is a way that I can copy protect these so they can not make copies of them.
thanks

And as Sue has already pointed out, if any of us can easily download the software to rip a commercial DVD to our computers that have millions of industry dollars behind the copy protection techniques on them, what makes you think that your home produced DVDs would be any safer?
Usually the best thing to do is get in the mind set that you are providing a service (capturing a moment in time) and an initial product (that moment presented on a DVD with nice menus and such), but you are not a production house that makes their money off number of units moved. My guess is for something like a ballet recital, the parents are not all going to get together and buy a single copy and then make copies among themselves. Instead they will likely all buy their own copy and any additional copies they make would be sent to grandparents and things like that. And if you somehow made it uncopyable, then likely they would not come back to you to purchase additional copies but either not send a copy to Grandma or just dub a version to video tape.
In other words, I think in these small business situations, the initial buyers are likely to buy anyway and the subsequent copies wanted wouldn't be through you anyway. So you are basically trying to protect against something that isn't going to affect you anyway.
Just my opinion as a parent who has bought DVDs of various kids things from the "pros" who put them together (e.g. cheerleading competitions, etc.) but would never buy additional copies from those same people at the same price (I consider the price I paid to be for the service, not the actual copy).

Permission to copy dvds to my SSD for faster installation

I would like permission to copy dvds to my SSD for faster installation.
I would also like to know if the standard multi-volume installer methods work with Master Collection CS5 installation where discs are organized into
DISK1\
DISK2\
DISK3\
what disc number for acrobat 9, if any?
can I copy the content disc (no installer)?
or do you use a different method? of course once it's on the SSD, it would be impossible to change discs as the installer currently requests using discs.

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:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6203213&#6203213
Another one. That happened to me before the Apple Store replaced my superdrive:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6077903&#6077903
There are not two wihout a three:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6320531&#6320531
But i get no answer from Apple. They replaced my Superdrive. Then, i reinstalled MacOs, and i still can't play most of my dvds.

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.

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-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.

Short cut for copying a cd or dvd data disk?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for copying a data disk, CD or DVD?
I know I can create a folder, then copy all the data off a CD or DVD into
that folder and effectively get the same thing, but I was wondering if
there was a one keyboard keyboard shortcut.
When you do right click and copy of a data disk, what you get is just
an alias to the disk, not a copy.
Thanks.

Mount the CD/DVD/disk Image, OPTION-click on the disk icon at the top of the window that opens, and drag to the Desktop or another Finder window. That should create a folder containing everything whatever you mounted.
