DVD Copy Protection

Duplication of your masters with Patronus copy control protection added to stop piracy through copying!

The loss of revenue through piracy of even small runs of DVD can be devastating for the small independent producer as well as large organizations and movie production houses, whether its pre-release copies to protect or an event where strict control on the copies are required for a decent return on the job.

The software employed (Patronus) effectively controls access to the content by common ripping programs and provides effective, speed bump protection from unauthorized copying. The result is copy-controlled discs with playability matching that of unprotected DVDR's.

Independent tests confirm passive protection levels whilst maintaining full playability. The Patronus anti rip solution for DVDR promises an unrivalled solution to unauthorized copying.

The copy control encapsulation in areas of the disc not read by DVD players during playback, complying with the "DVD standard", the original content is not modified and play-back quality remains unaffected.

Complex content including menus, special features, extras and even dual layers are protected by the passive technology which ensures no changes are made to the original video files during analysis.

How does it work? - Clients can submit their master for duplication as before on a disc as a finished DVD Video or as an ISO file. We then add the protection prior to duplication the encrypted file then ensures all disc copies are protected.

What are the costs - The price is dependant upon the number of copies and masters that are required for duplication, there is a small 1 off fee to create a protected ISO file and a royalty charge per copy, please contact us for a quote.
