    Is there a way to protect a DVD when burning it so it can’t be copied? I’m using Avid Express DV with the “Sonic DVDIt” program. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Unfortunately you can’t put copy protection on a DVD-R. Copy protection is only possible if the disc is replicated, as the CSS and/or Macrovision copy protection is done by the replicator. When you author a disc with CSS or Macro, it doesn’t actually add the copy protection, it just adds flags to let the replicator know to add it.
