DVD Copy protection.

[jain30]

i don't know whether it is right place to post this query. actually i am developing an application for DVD burning and i want to do copy protection also. how i can do that. i read about CSS but i don't how i can use it for copy protection

or is there any software available for the copy protection.

Thanks

Moved to Decrypting.

To use CSS you'd need a licensing fee, plus it's very easily broken.

[JeffAlso]

In short, there is no way to prevent a DVD from being copied. If it can be read by a drive, then it can be copied.

[bongoman31]

I think he is wanting to put copy protection on a copied DVD that he has created.

[snipper_cr]

I think as this forum has shown repeatedly... there is no effective copy protection out there - its all been broken.

[setarip_old]

Based on the most recent copy protection that reared its ugly head on "Blade - House of Chthon" and the likely source of that protection (Someone in Italy who sought and received input from posters at another forum as to how to create a copy protection scheme), I'd suggest that it wouldn't be very wise for people who believe they have the right to make backup copies of their purchased DVDs to help someone who wants to create a method of preventing them from doing so!

That is a very good point, setarip_old.

Just a correction ...

Junior73 posted on this forum (and Doom9's Italian language forum). He did the work himself and did not seek input on how to create his scheme. He posted it for fun only and asked for feedback and whether anyone could break his scheme.

The fact that "Junior73Italy" posted at this forum is in no way a correction (perhaps, an addition) of what I said, as he/she also posted at the Digital Digest Forums. The link to that posting was:

http://forum.digital-digest.com/showpost.php?t=54926&highlight=%22Dvd+Copy+protector%22

Unfortunately, as we all know, ALL postings at that forum having anything to do with decrypting have been removed, in response to a series of legal filings and house raids in Australia.

Additionally, some of the postings by "Junior73Italy", in the Doom9 Forum threads actually stated that he/she was working for a "DVD production company".Now I collaborate with a small house
of Italian production of dvd .

Regardless of the trivial hairsplitting about where "Junior73Italy" posted, the significant part of my initial post about this remains:

In a way I can see what you mean setarip, but I have tried searching for this program so I can mess around with it too. I would love to examine the protection it creates and try to learn more about it.

I seem work learn more by trial and error and back tracking. Sadly I cannot find this program. And I do not wish to waste my money on the DVD.

I know this only too well. :(

And again, Junior73 developed his scheme himself.

Murderers, rapists, and kidnappers are out there while peoples' homes are being raided over movie copying tools. -_-

Ugh. Murderers, rapists, and kidnappers are out there while peoples' homes are being raided over movie copying tools. -_-

But is some one getting raped, murdered, or a child being molested really worth 14billion indamages (isnt that the latest estimte the MPAA uses for piracy?). I mean thats just a person. Piracy effects an entire companies financial input so of COURSE we have to put all our efforts into stopping this. Its not like the rapists/murderers are costing anyone THAt much money.

GOSH

Thanks!

[ron spencer]

password is "NHL" (no qutoes)

[Ajax_Undone]

Is there a source for those of use who would like to examine the code...:D

[Mtz]

Thank you, Ron.
Maybe somebody which is using it will make a small "how to", for the "best" protection.

enjoy,
Mtz

[blutach]

Mtz - you load up all 3 levels with as much complexity as you like. :)

I played with it months ago....it seemed to work, but I never really thought it was useful....anydvd beat it....it fooled dvd decryptor....it was just sitting on hard drive.....LOL

[linx05]

Thank you very much! I have been looking for this program for a while now.

Was CPRM ever cracked? I remember looking all over the place for a decryptor last year when I was moving from overseas, but never found one so had to kiss my recordings good bye, 'cept for a couple that I converted into analog

That's interesting if true, I don't have the discs anymore so have no way of testing. But even Slysoft AnyDVD still hasn't cracked CPRM it seems:
