All modern manufacturers of discs with various contents are working on the problem of data protection: video and music, games and programs. If a license key request can be installed on the programs being launched, then the "passive" content of music and video discs must be protected from copying.
Necessary
- - the Internet;
- - CDRWin program.
Instructions
Step 1
Download and install CDRWin 3.6 or later. You can find it on the program website softodrom.ru or soft.ru. Run the program on a personal computer. Typically, after installation, a shortcut will appear on the desktop. First, you need to copy the data disc that you plan to burn with copy protection.
Step 2
Insert the data disc into the drive. Using the commands of the main menu, make a disk image, saving it to the hard drive. In the Record Disc menu item, select the Load Cuesheet option. Find the bottom parameter Total Disc Time (for example, 44:03:52) and remember it.
Step 3
Create a fake entry in the CUE description file using any text editor (regular Notepad will do as well). To do this, add the lines TRACK 01 MODE [….] INDEX 01 00: 00: 00 to the CUE file. Change the numbering of the tracks according to the contents of your file, setting the MODE parameter the same as in other records.
Step 4
Change the Total Disc Time by subtracting two seconds. The last entry now looks like: TRACK 02 MODE [….] INDEX 01 44:01:52
Step 5
Check that the start time of the new track is the same 44:03:52 so that there is no overlap with the data. To do this, click Record Disc, Disc Layout item. Burn data containing two tracks onto a blank optical disc.
Step 6
Unfortunately, there is (or will be) a hack for any protection. For example, this method will not work for the Nero Burning Rom program - that is, the user will copy the disc using this program if he uses the same drive. You can also store data using special programs that encrypt all content, regardless of the content, and at the same time put passwords to open the archive.
