Macrovision DVD copy protection

[nwo]

FROM ULEAD DVD WORKSHOP 2

Macrovision DVD copy protection, also known as the Analog Protection System (APS), thwarts attempts to copy DVD programming. Used on a large number of commercial DVD Video discs being produced, the technology either degrades unauthorized copies made on consumer VCRs or is used as a technological measure to communicate with DVD recorders and hard drive video recorders that the video programming cannot be recorded. Almost all Hollywood studios, as well as many special interest and corporate rights owners, are using Macrovision's technology to protect their content from unauthorized copying.

Note: Use of analog copy protection for DVD applications is subject to the proprietary intellectual property rights of Macrovision Corporation of Santa Clara, California, U.S.A., and users require a usage agreement with Macrovision Corporation before analog protection system activation bits are set to "on." Macrovision is a registered trademark of Macrovision Corporation.

buttons on the last dvd i did, if i set the Macrovision DVD copy protection
would it work or do i need a plug-in.

You have to license it for it to work, it also has to be done by someone else. That feature is really useless in all sense of the word because after spending your money for the license in the end it's still copyable.

There's few threads over on the Ulead forum about it, a few from customers who feel that it's false advertising since you can't really apply the MV from within the program.
