1. Some internet users say that DVD-Video copy protection is a myth.
This is just another stereotype that has no grounds. Majority of those who make such statements are just users of software designed to rip copy-protected discs and lack professional knowledge. Therefore, once “all time favorite” software for breaking copy protection fails, such users will cease their unlawful activities in most cases.
2. How does DVD-RX work?
Special blocks of information (elements of DVD-RX technology) will be embedded into the structure of the original DVD-Video project. Some of these blocks interact with your player and control it, others — do not and are there to protect your disc content from being accessed and ripped.
3. To what degree is DVD-RX protection compatible with DVD players?
DVD-RX protected DVD-discs can be played on hardware players made in 2005 or later. However, only those software players that are produced in compliance with DVD-disc technical standards are suitable for playing DVD-RX protected discs.
4. Can anti-piracy protection prevent from ripping DVDs using computers?
DVD-Video discs protected with DVD-RX technology cannot be copied with the help of:
— standard PC hardware/software;
— special software designed for copying of copy protected video discs.
DVD-RX Light solution provides limited functions and is useful for basic protection against casual copying.
5. Is it possible to copy a copy-protected disc using a duplicator?
DVD-RX protected DVD-Video discs cannot be copied on duplicators or disc duplication systems.
6. Can a duplicator or duplication system be used to make copies of a copy-protected DVD?
DVD-RX protected DVD-Video disc can be duplicated on equipment that can be connected to a PC through a USB port or LAN. Duplication on standalone (not connected to a PC) duplicators is not possible.
7. Can a copy-protected disc be replicated in a factory setting?
Absolutely! The copy protected DVD-Video projects designated for replication at a replication factories are delivered in DDP 2.0 format and are used only for replication at specialized facilities. They cannot be used for burning to DVD-R discs.
8. I get my DVDs duplicated by certain supplier, but this company is not on your list.
Not a problem! Duplication of DVD-RX protected discs is basically the same as a standard duplication. Many companies that are not contracted with us have filled our orders for disc replication in the past.
You can contact your supplier to see if they can do the job for you, or let us take care of that.
9. What video file formats do you accept for copy protection?
Your source master file can be forwarded to us as an ISO image or as an archived AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders. For you to be able to work with DVD-RX Light software, you will need to create an ISO image of your DVD-Video.
10. I do not know the format of my video. How can I determine it?
DVD-Video format structure is supposed to have an AUDIO_TS directory, though, not always, and a VIDEO_TS containing files of the following formats: .IFO, .BUP and .VOB.
11. How long does it take to complete a copy protection project?
The time needed to complete a project is in direct correlation with the number of DVD-Video projects you order simultaneously. It takes 1-2 business days from the day the source master is delivered to us to implement protection of one project.
DVD-RX Light is an On-line solution, which means you can protect your DVD-Video projects in real-time mode.
12. Will copy protection affect my disc’s menu, sound, images?
Technologies we use will not affect authentic audio/video streams and will not undermine their quality. All original elements of your DVD-Video, including the menu, any specific settings and any additional data will stay the same. A copy protected disc is analogous to the master you supplied.
13. Will the size of a video file change after implementation of copy protection?
The size, duration and quality of the video will stay the same. The only parameter you will find altered is the total size of the DVD-Video project. It might be increased anywhere from 200 Mb to as much as the overall storage capacity of the DVD disc.
14. What is the final product I get?
Depending on the format you chose for your disc, you might get either an .ISO file that is an image of the DVD-Video ready to be copied to DVD-R recordable discs, or it might come as a set of files in DDP 2.0 format intended for further replication at a manufacturing facility.
15. What do I need to copy a copy-protected ISO image to DVD-R discs?
You can use any software designed for burning of ISO images to write a copy-protected ISO image to DVD-R discs, e.g. ImgBurn, Nero, UltraISO and other similar products.
16. How do I copy DVD-Video project in DDP format to DVD-R discs?
Files in DDP format are intended only for replication of DVD discs at replication factories and cannot be used for burning to DVD-R discs.
17. How do I forward a DVD-Video project to you for copy protection?
In the majority of cases, a video file can be forwarded to us through the Internet. You can upload DVD-Video project online yourself, or you can use our FTP server. The only exception is DVD-RX Light technology, which works without files transfer.
18. Can you copy protect software, text files and files of other formats?
We work exclusively with DVD-Video format.
19. How do I buy your software?
We do not sell software. DVD-RX solution we offer is a DVD-Video copy protection service. The only exception is the software for implementation of DVD-RX Light solution, which is available on our server at no charge to you.
20. If I want to protect my video against illegal copying, what do I need to do?
Read the information about the solutions we offer and the descriptions of the implementation process/final product on the relevant web page of our site first. If something is still not clear, feel free to contact us.
