copy protected DVD ? special blanck DVDS?

i never tried the 'copy protected' feature in DVD SP because a friend told me I need special blank DVDs. I googled it and didn't find any info . I am not saying he is a lair, but just misinformed?????

I am editing Sweet XV events and dont want the kids making copies, I rather want them to pay for a duplicate

Unfortunately, burned discs (disc that are created optically in you DVD drive) do not support CSS or Macrovision Encryption- in order to encrypt a DVD you need to replicate (physically have them stamped at a facility) your discs which usually requires an order of 1,000 or more. If you intend on creating at least a few hundred you might be able to find a replication facility to help you out- but if you only want to make a handful- you're probably out of luck.

The reason (from what I understand) is that you actually have to pay for the license to use these proprietary technologies - the fees are included in replication costs and the actual licensing is handled by the replication houses - it's not supported on burnable media because there's no oversight to the legitimacy of the content you're burning in the privacy of your home.

too bad we cant protect our own stuff....thank you
