Not trying to sound harsh, but this has been covered a million times. If the protections that the major studios spend millions of dollars on can be broke, why would you think that something that an individual makes would last. You can do a quick search for some backdoor ways to at least track the leak with watermarks and such, but protection through encryption is a lost cause.

Hi,

but you do realize that a password protected file is just that, password protected, and w/o the password, no one can view it. But once the password is given out, the user can open, read and copy the protected file. Just something to think about.

Well.. it happens that I know a way to make a disk impossible to copy.. You deliberately write bad data to one sector. If you make that sector0 then a pc (windoze anyway) cannot read it.. because it doesn't know what it has.

Of course these disks won't play either unless you can write a program to start reading from sector1 .. and that defeats the object of the protection in the first place XD

I know that the companies pay millions to to put encyrption on there and its still cracked i want it because it makes it harder and there are still people out here who dont have these softwares to crack encyption. Ofcourse it can still be cracked but I still want a program to put it on my disc if anyone knows of one. I saw one on a blog yesterday but didnt get the name b/c I thought id come here instead. Im gona cancel the password idea.

The protection the companies use is pressed onto a disc. Not burned. When you burn files to a disc, you are copying files from the HDD to a disc. In order for that to happen, your computer has to read the files and send that information to the burner. If the computer cannot read the files, it cannot burn the files.

yeah.. this is pointless.. any form of protection which still allows the disk to play in a standard dvd player or on a pc will just be broken by any of the multitudes of freely available softwares..

The only people I can see wanting to do this are people converting avi downloads.. say cams.. to dvd and then selling them.. I can't think of any other situation where it matters a damn if the end product disks can be copied easily.

Password protection is not covered in the DVD-Video specs, no.

Look up Qflix at http://www.qflix.com/enu/default.html. You will have to buy a license for it, and it can still be cracked by anyone knowledgeable enough about bypassing copy protection. I was working on this project for awhile and I could never figure out what the point of it was. Anyone who understood how it worked--and it was not easy to use!--would know how to circumvent it. It was/is a waste of time and money.
