If the studios can't copy protect their DVDs, why do you think you can?

The answer is it can't be done.

But what percentage of video viewers are aware of such black arts? For a small business it might make the difference. Of course when I was running a video business back in the 90's I figured if someone hired me, then they owned the rights to the final product not me. I'd charge more up front. Part of that was because didn't want to be responsible for the safekeeping of original videos. Also back in the early days of DV, those damn little diamond-coated ME tapes were going for something like $20 apiece.

If people want to rip it (and share it with others), they will. And if they don't, then it doesn't matter if there's copy protection or not.

But if you still want to use the seriously flawed CSS copy protection system, you will soon be able to make your own CSS discs:

The above link talks about a movie download service, but when these new hardware are available, I'm sure companies like Nero will also add CSS burning for making general discs.

If you don't mind not using DVD-Video, then you can also invest in DRM for digital downloads, but these are so unpopular right now that people will turn against you for just mentioning it.
