C|NET have produced a nice long news article on Macrovisions upcoming DVD copy protection scheme called 'RipGuard DVD'. Eventhough Macrovision is known for it's hardware copy protection solutions, this method works different.

"The company's new product takes a different approach to antipiracy than it has taken for analog or audio CDs. Gervin said Macrovision engineers have spent several years looking at how various DVD-copying software packages work, and have devised ways to tweak the encoding of a DVD to block most of them.

That means the audio and video content itself requires no new hardware and isn't scrambled anew, as is the case with most rights-management techniques. Someone using one of the ripping tools on a protected DVD might simply find their software crashing, or be presented with error messages instead of a copy."

For the full article please visit C|NET. The place to discuss this topic would be our copy protection discussion forum. Do you think this new 'RipGuard DVD' will stop the pirates? Will Macrovision succeed where CSS has failed?
