Macrovision Ripguard protects most burning and decrypting made from a computer, it prevents the ripping of content from the original DVD.
Setting up the DVD master is a little bit tricky. First, your authoring software need to support a DLT drive, because the content will be written and submitted in a DLT format. The DLT will then be embedded with RipGuard encryption, and lastly be uesd for replication.
We suggest replicated check discs on all RipGuard titles because there is additional content/information added to the master, and at times, depending on the machine or the authoring, it could affect the playability of the DVD.
Costs to consider are RipGuard embedding, and the royalty charge per disc to Macrovision.
