I had done all the menu in DSW2 and ready to burn to DISC.
Does anyone know how to apply simple anti-copy protection? I know your can decrypt it with various software. I just want a simple anti-copy protection. So average user can't copy with Nero etc...
Thanks
PS. Check Macrovision copy protection in advanced tab doesn't help
I read from this thread
How to apply basic anti-disc copy protection (CSS) in DSW?
CSS
you cannot burn it using your own burner. You have to author your disc with the option turned on, but then send it out to have a glass master created from your image (DLT), and then it will be Stamped into discs (by a replicating facility).

Macrovision and CSS are NOT for home use!!!
The encryption cracking programs are FREE, but you must PAY to put copy protection on your DVD!
If you read your user's manual carefully, you'll see that you must have licenses for both Macrovision and CSS. What it doesn't tell you is how expensive the license is. The replication house will have a license, and they will charge you a small per-disc fee to add them.
Also, it's technically impossible to put CSS on a DVD-R. It's on a non-writable part of the disc. I assume this is why you can't make a bit-for-bit exact-copy of a DVD, including the CSS key. If you could make an identical DVD-R copy of a commercial DVD, it would play just like the original!
I'm not sure about Macrovision on a DVD-R... I think it is possible, because unlike CSS, the actual Macrovision isn't recorded on the disc. The DVD just has a "bit" or a "flag" that tells the player to inject Macrovision into the analog signal.
Here's what I found on the Net:

The licensor of CSS encryption technology is DVD CCA (Copy Control Association), a non-profit trade association with offices at 225 B Cochrane Circle, Morgan Hill, CA. There is a $15,000 annual licensing fee, but no per-product royalties. Send license requests to css-license@lmicp.com , technical info requests to css-info@lmicp.com . Before December 15, 1999, CSS licensing was administered on an interim basis by Matsushita.
Macrovision licenses its analog anti-recording technology to hardware makers. There is a $30,000 initial charge, with a $15,000 yearly renewal fee. The fees support certification of players to ensure widest compatibility with televisions. There are no royalty charges for player manufacturers. Macrovision charges a royalty to content publishers (approximately 4 to 10 cents per disc, compared to 2 to 5 cents for a VHS tape).
