You can't. Burned DVD can't be copy protected. Replicated DVDs can have Macrovision or CSS copy protection added by the replication facility at an added cost per disc ... but even with that, any third grader with half a brain can defeat the copy protection.

In dvd studio pro you can add copyprotection. If I remember correctly it is in the "disc" tab where you add your disc name etc. The copy protection is one of the tabs beneath disc (i'm pretty sure). There you will find macrovision 1, 2 and 3, and CSS. If you can't find it I will go in and check and give you more specific instructions.

Sorry, but your information is incorrect. The settings for copy protection in DVD-SP merely sets flags for the replicator to know to include the copy protection. There is no way in DVD-SP or Toast to add copy protection to a burned disc.

is there a way to do this in toast as well?

No.

hmm.. thats odd. I just had a class on dvd studo pro and thats what we were taught.

David is correct.

You could always try a rather slimy trick a client of mine once had me do. It was for VHS tape, but could be applied to a DVD.

Start your disc with a slate that says something like: "(Company Name) cannot be held responsible for damage done to equipment resulting from attempting to copy this DVD" If I remember correctly, we even made up a phony COPYGARD or some such nonsense logo. Kind of slimy, yet kind of innovative.

The idea was to scare them from copying.

It was long ago.

Hi Mikey,

I'm wondering if this still works.

One thing that can be done would be to put a small company logo in the lower part of the video that would be displayed throughtout the video
