Content Scrambling System (CSS)
Analogue Protection System (Macrovision APS)

There are two different methods of copy protection available with DVDs: Macrovision & CSS.
- Macrovision is a technology which makes it difficult to copy DVDs with analog equipment, such as VCRs. Applying Macrovision protection to your DVD must be done during the authoring phase, and there is a per-disc royalty due to Macrovision for titles protected by their technology. We support Type 2 Macrovision, which is the type most commonly used.
- CSS (Content Scramble System) is the digital copy protection system built into the DVD format. CSS makes it more difficult to copy DVDs using computers and other digital devices. There is no per-disc royalty for using CSS, but the DVD must be authored properly to allow for CSS and there us a extra flat-fee for each project, regardless of qty of discs. Supporting CSS requires that the master must be on DLT tape, not a DVD-R. We support Type 3 CSS, which is the type most commonly used.
It is important to remember that no form of copy protection is guaranteed to prevent people from copying your titles. There are various VCRs and electronic components available which defeat Macrovision, and there are several different software programs available that easily copy CSS protected DVDs.
If you are preparing a DVD master yourself and wish to include copy protection, please contact us so we can ensure that you master your title correctly.

"Region coded" DVDs are designated to only play in a particular part of the world. For example, Hollywood studios regularly release titles at different times in the US, Europe and Asia markets and use region coding to attempt to prevent viewers from buying titles early from other areas.
As with copy protection, region coding can be defeated. There are DVD players and devices which don't respect the region coding on DVDs and will play any disc despite its region code.
Please contact us for details on how to properly master your own DVD for region coding
As with television, there are two predominant worldwide formats for DVD-Video: NTSC and PAL. NTSC is used in the US, Canada, and parts of Asia. PAL is used in Europe and other parts of Asia.
NTSC has a somewhat lower-resolution image with a higher frame-rate (30 fps). PAL has a higher resolution image, better color fidelity, and a lower frame rate (25 fps).
Almost all new PAL DVD players are compatible with NTSC DVDs, so it is fairly common to sell titles worldwide in this format. Most NTSC players do not play PAL titles, so it is hard to watch a European video in the US, for example.
We can replicate both NTSC and PAL discs. Please call us if you have questions about a PAL DVD you'd like to replicate with us.

	Spine labels are the clear adhesive stickers used to seal the edges of DVD cases, which makes it difficult to open the package quickly. Security tags are small devices inserted into the case to set off anti-theft alarms at stores. Both of these options are used help prevent theft in retail environments. If you're interested in either option, please give us a call for a custom quote.
