ACTUALLY, there is a way to copy-protect your VCDS:
How to Copy-Protect Your VCDs/SVCDs v2.0
*************************************************************
Background Info:-
The following method of copy-protection uses a program called FreeLock v1.3.
Instead of adding dummy files, FreeLock 1.3 changes the order of the tracks prior to copying, this makes the resulting VCD/SVCD almost impossible to copy.
I have tried this method on my own DVD player and 3 of my friends DVD players and found that the copy-protected VCD/SVCD will play no problems.
If someone does copy the protected VCD/SVCD, they will be able to play the VCD/SVCD in their DVD players for about 5 seconds, with choppy picture and full of green lines, and then it will freeze completely.
*************************************************************
The followings tools are required for this guide:
CDRWin
FreeLock 1.3
Before you start:- Extract all files to a common folder as the program will create a "FreeLock Diskette" for you to run the program from.
1. You'll need to create an un-protected VCD/SVCD first, so do that in your favourite way.
2. Then, open up CDRWin and create a .cue file from your un-protected disc, save it to C:
3. Goto Command Prompt and type: A: (enter) FreeLock (enter).
4. The usage of FreeLock is pretty basic. At the command line type:
freelock c:image.cue
5. Finally you must burn your modified image.cue file onto CD.
Remember to keep the FreeLock diskette in your A: drive.
Note:- If CDRWin gives you an error at the end of burning your modified .cue file (99%-100%), ignore it the data will have already been written and the VCD/SVCD play perfectly
