The DVDs can be coded when copied off the master so that they can't be reproduced. Most of the DVD (&CD) reproduction software has that feature & there shouldn't be any additional cost for that. Watermarking is a whole other story. My partner in the production company & I did a DVD of his twin daughters' dance recital two years ago & one of the daughters overheard another student talking about copying the DVD for all her relatives. They wound up buying fiveJ
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DonO Sent: Monday, May 18, 2009 11:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [VFB] Re: FW: for the list......DVD Rope-dub I spent about 5 hours today with the editor doing what I hope is the final editing of the main tying portion. It really flows now, with great continuity and lots of photos inserted. I must say I did a great job photographing the flies in macro. LOL I decided I wanted to re-shoot one portion and do an additional portion that I want to show more variety in, but these should be easy. But when there's 24 tying sequences, that's not too bad. I'm going to have one of my fly-tying buddy view the DVD one time to get his impressions and critiques. I have not given him rope-dub lessons, so this will be his introduction and tutorial. He'll catch what I haven't caught, i.e. things beginners need to know and see. The program for editing videos is fascinating, but with more capabilities, I found myself wanting more things- "Can we do this? ...or this? ...and this?". It has been a learning experience, and if this video does well, I intend to do 7 more. But it's not cheap, and if I find it pirated and downloalable for free off the internet in two weeks...well, there won't even be a No.2 Rope-dub then. I'm spending quite a bit to have it done professionally, and I can't afford to not get my expenses recouped. I'm paying extra for anti-pirating software but I am told that the geeks can get past anything. I'll also have the DVD's pre-printed, signed, and serial-numbered, and portions of the DVD watermarked and stuff like that, but if someone wants to pirate it to save $39.95, I guess I can't stop them if they have the capability.
