What is the easiest way to add Macrovision to a DVD that has already been authored?

i.e. I want to add macrovision to a DVD-r that was created in a Panasonic HS2. Can I just copy the DVD to the hard drive and add the Macrovision flag with some program and then reburn the disc without re-authoring it (ie keeping original panasonic created menus)?

If so what program can do this....someone told me that ifoedit might be able to do the trick....?

Thats funny...Most people are trying to do just the opposite...LOL
I have IFOEdit o.95 and it has a macrovision menu to delete or add Macrovision APS levels 1/2/3. I have never tried it, but it looks as if it can be done. You can find IFO in the tools list on the left. Or check doom9 orgs site.

Interesting, as I didn't know you could add it yourself, Im sure those macrovision people require you pay for it. More info at macrovision.com

I can see the option in ifoedit but I am not sure how to add it (the menu selection for the various macrovision options are greyed out once I open a DVD...? Any ideas?

Yea, I tried it too and get the same thing.

I found the answer on another forum. Apparently this option is only available in the donation version. I am not sure if this version is still available or not as Ifoedit doesn't seem to have been updated for a year or more....

Much like CSS, I thought this required a key to do it.

DVD Studio Pro has this option.

But with DVD studio Pro wouldn't I have to reauthor the disc with new menus etc?
