  • Flagging for CSS in DVD Studio Pro

    Posted by Erin Bohn on January 13, 2011 at 9:53 pm

    We are attempting to flag a DVD for CSS in DVD Studio Pro.

    First attempt we simply turned on CSS and set it to no copies. Burned as usual and sent out as a DVD. The replicator said CSS was not detected.

    After some googling and the recommendation of others we created a .img and sent it to them on a DVD-R as a file. Again CSS not detected.

    They are using an Eclipse. Also apparently there are 2,000 bad sectors on our .img whatever that means.

    Am I missing a step? Is there more to it than just turning CSS on in DVD studio pro? I’ve been researching for the past few hours but can’t find anything.

    CSS is worthless if you ask me but if you really want to have it on the disc. When you format set it to ddp 2.0. This will be a single file that you cannot open. Burn this to a disc. The ddp file is what goes on a DLT tape. .IMG files are known to cause a lot of issues.

    hi eric,
    CSS and copy protection could only be used with DDP/CMF-images and not be burned on DVD-R as michael have told before.

    if you are creating a DDP-image you´ll get one or two folders depending if you´re creating a DVD-5 or DVD-9.

    these folders called layer0 and layer1.

    burn this folder on DVD-R (4.7GB) using toast under data-Disc (DVD ROM), this will burn a UDF-data-disc. don´t try to burn using finder, because it´ll create a HFS-DVD that have the wrong file-system.

    allways create a DUB and label the layers properly, so the replication will have no problem.

    cheers

    DUB means duplication of the discs, meaning always give a 2nd set of your disc(s) to the replication-facility, as there could occure read/write-errors on DVD+/-R media.
