Finally! Now we can protect our self made DVDVIDEO from copy

[Aeolis]

IMPORTANT! – I DON’T CLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR MERIT IN DEVELOPING OR PROMOTING THIS SOFTWARE. THE CREDITS GO TO ITS CREATOR AND FOR THE SITE THAT SHOWED IT FIRST. – IMPORTANT!


Hi folks,

Everybody knows that one of the most important parts in DVD VIDEO authoring or creation is to protect your creation from copy. You are supposed to know that there is no perfect protection: everything that was build by human hands can be unmade by other human hands, only God’s creations are unbreakable (I think it’s poetic).
Well, now it’s possible to protect our own DVD VIDEO creations using this software: DVD Copy Protect 1.00 Beta.
It’s free software and as said on DVD Rebuilder page: “Dvd Copy Protector v 1.00 Beta, is a small utility that tries to protect the dvds from the copy.
Wizard or automations are not used, but, he leaves the liberty to implement entirely some experimental functions to the consumer, which however, they don't assure a full compatibility with the readers DVD Home.
The package of installation is criptated from a password (also a free software remaining, gives the delicacy of the matter, the author has decided to try to limit his diffusion, releasing only the password to those people that are really interested in the use of the program).
To get the password contact the author at the address: lipparelli@libero.it
For information on the use of Dvd Copy Protector, you can ask to in the forum of Divax.it, DVD Rebuilder.com or in that of doom9.it.
Compliments to junior73
You will find in the section Download in the voice Tools the program to be unloaded.”
So, if you have questions or compliments give them to junior73. I haven’t tested it for now because I don’t have the password, but you can try as I’ve tried a Test .ISO that junior73 posted to check if his software worked alright.
Well now everybody can judge his program and test it so if you want or already have the file password contact junior73 or post it here, please let’s work together. You can do a search on google for more information (TIP: Look for DVD Copy Protector and junior73). I will post the files. The only software that opened the Test .ISO files were DVD Decrypter, try it!

Main Program (Only this has password) + Information File + Test .ISO:

Hi folks,

I thought it could help. Lordsmurf have you already tested it? Does it work? Please be more talkative, share your information. The post you linked talk about briefly: “Don’t waste your time trying to protect your DVDs”. But I apologize if I am wrong because I couldn’t see anything about the software I mentioned.

See you later,

what hes saying is,NOTHING WORKS!!!!
if they want to copy it,they will..jeez its not that hard to understand.
unless you can implement some kind of macrovision or arccos protection then its not worth shit.
if you dont want it copied,dont release it.

anyhoo,isnt this just advertising,in a sense?

Hi folks,

First never say it will work if you haven’t tried; only experience can tell if you are right.
You should do a search on google and find the Italian forums were that software was commented and discussed. As I have figured out ONE (there are other methods) of the abilities of that software is to corrupt some sector or files in specific points so they could not be copied. This is somehow similar to Sony Arccos protection. And they talk about only one way to break it using DVD Decrypter and PSL2 Creator to create a PSL2 file to insert in DVD Decrypter and do the work, well its hard or complicate enough to be a good protection against the most part of the normal people, unless you think it’s very easy or you are pros in using that combo of softwares, are you?

And very important: be calm! You will not be arrested just because you tried to bring something new, at least for me, to the scene. (Did you get it RottenFoxBreath?)

I don't know for a fact that arsenic will kill me, as I've never tried it, but I'm pretty damned sure of the result without having to experiment on myself.

The problem with logic like this is you eliminate the ability to use common sense.

Folks, think of things like this as a lock on the front door, there aren't any that can't be picked by those with the knowledge and skill, but the simplest lock will keep out the vast majority of amateurs.

Just because it is not perfect does not mean it serves no useful purpose.

And yes, I can site two or three examples where private citizens or small groups had a legitimate need for basic copy protection to prevent dishonest people from stealing their hard work.

[Marvingj]

A friend(Robert) tried it and said it not that good. Its fair at most.

Hi folks,

You REALLY should try DVD Copy Protector. It has a few bugs, but I have very good results with some of the software methods of protection. Of course its protections are not unbreakable or “unripable”, but you will give a lot of work to the most part of people to bypass them. Until now it’s the closest solution to the commercial protection I have seen. I’ve contacted the author and he gave me the password to the .Zip file, now I’m working on some combinations to find best solution to protect my DVD VIDEO, so YOU SHOULD REALLY GIVE IT A TRY!

If you want the password to check it by yourself ask junior73 in the e-mail I gave in my first post. He will answer you, and he said he will release a public version soon. I beg he does that as soon as possible (with improvements of course).

See you later,

This reminds me of last year when some guy from Poland was on the SVCD/VCD forum and he just would not shut up about how he had come up with the greatest VCD protection mechanism in the world. It provoked endless debate on whether it's really worth trying to copy protect VCDs or not.

Aeolis - Well, it was nice of you to post and if this is of a lot of interest to you, then great, but few of us really care about this. A lot of people make DVDs from personal videos and as others have said, there's not really any need to copy protect a video of some kid playing T-ball or dancing at a recital. Nobody other than the immediate family wants to see it. One of the problems with copy protection is that the better ones violate the specifications for the discs and that means that the disc may not play in some players. This is why copy protected audio CDs sometimes won't play in various players.

Why and the hell would I want to copy protect my DVD's? Then again, why and the hell am I replying to this CRAP! Now I feel better...Have a nice day

Hi folks,

Everybody knows that one of the most important parts in DVD VIDEO authoring or creation is to protect your creation from copy.

So let me get this straight. Someone selling bootleg stuff(concert footage from another country taped from television) on Ebay can continue to sell and make money LONGER on Ebay before someone else buys one from him and starts selling it himself cheaper?

That is the ONLY scenario I can think of where this can be usefull....after all....who wants to steal/copy my home movies of my two year old son playing in the sandbox?

Why isn't this thread locked for advertising?

[stackner]

i agree with the above comment on bootleging.

and would someone please shut the guy up LOL sorry just seems like all he is doing is advertising and turning the forum into a shop front.

[Noahtuck]

Locked for advertising ??
Shop front ??

Funny, i don't see anything for sale ??


Nothing wrong with checking out new programs regardless of whether you will use it or not......

Although i do think it is kind of stupid to list a free program on a site that host's another free program then password protect the zip file & having to e-mail the guy for the password and it's free anyway's

My teenager's school made a video on the school band in competitions which they sold to raise money for uniforms and instruments. My younger child's grade school made an instructional video on vowel sounds, pronunciation, and spelling which they sold to buy more educational equipment for the school. In the second case, I know for a fact that further videos were not made due to the piracy issue. This second video, and the unmade follow-ups, would have been widely useful to large numbers of people.

There are in fact legitimate uses for such software, some of these can be of wide-ranging benefit. How many instructional videos from knowledgeable people are NOT made because of inability to even recover costs due to potential piracy?
