Is there an easy way to copy protect a disc I am making for just certain people? I know that is kind of the opposite of what we talk about here but just wondering.
DVD +R. It really isn't a big deal but I got screwed out of video services I did for an organization and I did another event and just thought about it. I did not encrypt anything but thought about it. Especially when you lose $3,000.00 and the head of the organization just ignores you. But you live and learn every day. Thanks for your response.
Probably easier to distribute your stuff by USB drive and make them password protected. But that doesn't stop someone with the password from copying.
I have a better idea.... People who have online maps (or maps in general), they add in small streets that don't exist so that if they show up on a competitor's map, they know their data was stolen. When I lived out in NJ, I knew of one road that was on our map that was no longer there and showed up on no one else's map but one site's. So put a small watermark somewhere where they can't see it and can't mask it without ruining the picture. If someone steals it, you have verifiable proof they stole your video if you record it in the copyright you can file for relatively cheap. Just make it hard to detect but easy to demonstrate and prove.
You could use these type of discs: https://www.amazon.com/SKILCRAFT-70...ncrypted+dvdr&qid=1563578858&s=gateway&sr=8-1
StoneyJSG, I could be wrong but looks like these discs only let you write encrypted data to them whereas the poster wants the disc to be read but wants to keep people from making copies of the disc? T
Oh well then the OP needs a consumer copy protection. There are a few to choose from that one can get here: https://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_utils_3.shtml
Yeah, you're right. Hey, I didn't realize there was "consumer" copy protection. Good find, StoneyJSG! The "protector" product I see on the link page looks promising. But I think it only protects CD's. If he can find the equivalent of this for DVD's, he'll be in business. T
No problem! I am not sure there is one DVD. He could try the CD protections I dropped the link to on a DVD and see if it works. Where is the OP anyway? Seems only testile and me are posting here.
Lol! I think he may have lost interest. StoneyJSG, I guess we can consider this done. Good looking out brother. T
