svcd copyright?

[spiralnebula42o]

Is there anyway to put a copyright or a code or some kind of barrier or protection on your svcd's so that other people can't burn copy's of them?

Good luck! the mega million dollar movies companies can't seem to do it. If it can be read; it can be copied.

none...
but you can place them in a SAFE
j/k

if its only for pc and not for stand alone dvd player, maybe you can encrypt it and place a long alphanumeric password on it, so it will be difficult to open even if they've copied it.

how would I encrypt it and put this alphanumeric code on it?

try this ... i use it to encrypt my porn movies and pictures, so nobody can view them except me

Private Pix™ media player allows the user to encrypt private files and then view them while they are still encrypted! Use it for Video, audio, and images. It even helps keep them organized! View files one-by-one or use the slide show

windows xp can also encrypt data...but never tried it with movies.

If you encrypt it, then whoever you give the movie to, they would need the code to decrypt it.

You are just wasting your time.

There's no way to prevent copying of SVCDs, but you can take steps to frustrate the casual copier who doesn't know better. For instance, very few burners can burn tracks shorter than 4 seconds. So you can put a 2 or 3 second dummy track on your SVCD, and this will prevent direct cd to cd copying on most cd burners.

Another trick is to make a bin and cue image of your SVCD, then manually edit the cue to increase the playtime of your main video track. Give it an extra minute or so. Then burn a second cd and distribute this one. What happens, if it works, is that when they try to copy the raw mpg off the disk it keeps looking for more data even though the entire track has already been copied.

Using both of these methods can make your disk a little harder to copy, but ultimately there are dozens of ways around these little tricks. I suppose there's always the possibility that these tricks could affect playback on hardware players as well.
