someone asked me to video their wedding for them, at a reasonable cost, in the contract i am to give them 1 DVD and charge for any additional DVD's that they may request. I want to maximize my profits by making them come back to me for multiple DVD's. But the catch is that most people now have a dvd burner or know someone with a dvd burner. so I want to copy protect the DVD i give them, So that they have to come back to me to order more DVD's. Does anyone know how i can do that? or does anyone know of a programt that will do that for me?

Answer 2

You try to make some quick money, but you will lose business in the long term.

These people paid you for your services and it is THEIR wedding. Make them a reasonable offer for 50 DVDs or more and I am sure they will appreciate it far more than trying to bleed them for more money for every DVD they order. They may pay you now, but if they feel cheated, be 100% sure they will never recommend you to any of their friends and family, and that's where the money is, in referrals. So forget the copy protection crap - there is really no real copy protection on DVDs - it is just bad business for you.

Answer 3

You'll end up paying more to copy protect the disc than you'll make on the wedding.

Furthermore, the copy protection on DVDs has been broken wide-open for over a decade. So, even if you DID copy protect the DVD, the couple would just use something like DVDShrink to rip&burn a non-protected version and make their own copies.

Seriously, don't do it. Word of mouth will make - or break - your business.

Answer 5

maximum VHS video clips are secure with the Macrovision reproduction risk-free practices equipment, so even in case your participant could "make it easier to" reproduction it, the colours could be distorted and wavy strains could teach on the video. gadgets exist (available on the internet at some electronics shops) that can "stabilize" the video so it is copied.

Answer 6

just get a program, but people usually find ways around that, even thought that is better than nothing. hey go the cheap route put a c2007 and sue their *** if they do copy more ;)
