How do I COPY PROTECT my DVD creations so that I can make COPY PROTECTED copies.?

Question

My firm produces inde movies, music videos, documentaries, etc. I want to ensure that my DVDs can't be copied by customers.

How can I create a master, that I can then burn (including the original menus, etc) so that it's copy protected?

Answer 1

Not going to happen.

Video DVD standard itself does NOT really permit copy protection. The existing scheme called CSS was already broken and a decrypting key takes only seconds to locate on a PC. Any sort of protection can be programmed around on a PC except something extremely nasty like Starforce, and that's for PC programs, not video DVDs.

Sony claims at least partial success though, but it'll cost $$$
