CSS

Using DVD SP, I want to add CSS to a DVD-R that I will send to a replicator, but when I burn the DVD-R on my Macbook Pro there's an error message that says "This device does not support copy generation management. The disc will not be protected. This device does not support CSS. The disc will be unencrypted."

Is this because my Macbook Pro's DVD-R drive doesn't have the CSS encoding capability? I'm assuming though that the CSS flags from DVD SP can be read and utilized by most replicators, so it's OK for me to leave it on, correct?

Thanks.

If you want to add CSS flags to a DVD-R master you'll need to burn a DDP image to the disc and make sure the Rep house know how to deal with it. It is very important you and they are clear on what is being supplied and what is required during mastering.

When you burn a DDP image to disc it wont be playable in a player! You won't be able to check it in the normal way you probably do so you may want to request check discs from your replicator,
