We are planning to author a DVD with 10 different video titles on the disc. The disc would autolaunch to a main menu screen showing the 10 titles. Each of the 10 video titles has it's own password. Our objective is that if the end user pre-pays a fee, a password would be issued, and then only that specific video title could be played.
We know how to author and password protect the disc and in fact have run an initial test, but the password protection is much too easily gotten around, making it too easy to get the other titles for free. Here is the problem we are encountering...
1. When on a DVD player feeding to a television, the code does block the program. However, if you hit the stop button on the DVD player and hit play immediately after it, the code entry is bypassed and the video will play. This happened on two separate DVD players.
2. When the DVD is played on a computer, the code works as well. However, if you go to File>Open and select on the second chapter listed on the D drive, the code can be bypassed as well.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve a better solution?
