Macrovision uses DVD to DVD and DVD to VHS protection



WebitPR used our newssubmit to tell us that the animated feature film 'Jonah" '“A VeggieTales Movie will be protected with a DVD protection developed by Macrovision. The company mainly known for its game protection Safedisc has made sure that the protection should prohibit people to make DVD to DVD and DVD to VHS copies.



'Over half of all U.S. households own two or more VCRs and/or DVD devices, and there is a growing population of DVD recorders. The potential to make unauthorized digital or analog copies of quality programs is significant," said Carol Flaherty, senior vice president of Video Technology at Macrovision. 'We are pleased to offer a solution for Big Idea that safeguards their programs from being copied to both analog and digital media."

Macrovision's technology was originally designed to prevent unauthorized copying of VHS, DVD and PPV programming to VCRs without impacting the original playback. An added feature of Macrovision's DVD copy protection technology is that it helps to prevent DVD-to-DVD copying, as well as DVD-to-VHS copying. The majority of the recently introduced personal video recorders (PVRs), DVD/VCR combo units, DVD recorders (DVDRs) and PVR/DVDR combo units comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and, as a result, they recognize Macrovision's proprietary copy protection process and disable digital recording to removable media. Macrovision's technology is used by motion picture studios, as well as religious, corporate and educational rights owners.
