download the easy audio lock software which is hardly 800Kb and then try it.
there are more other then that software's but are paid!!

I had tried CCD Lock.but not succeeded in preventing nero from copying the disk.I got a little success with copy killer .It delays nero's copying time by showing errors.But finally it replicate the cd.I need an expert tutoral of one who got a result in protecting the cd from 1:1 copying and single file copying.I am not able to find any one who is interested in the field except few of you in my thread.Any way thank you for replying and pls do some research in matter.

Most of are pirates. So who would really care about content protection. Ring a bell.

@rohanmathew

hmmm......nice topic.........but i dont understand abt it because as long as you can access the cd .....it can be duplicated either by directly copying or by some indirect methods..!!

so actually wat you properly want to do mate ??

and moreover there are plenty of programs/ tutorials on net to remove Copy protection from a disk !!

like this :: *forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=10830

so i dont think we can exactly bypass this problem !

Thank you Paperheart for showing your interest in the forum.Normally most people are fedup with the topic saying its not possible.But I believe every thing is possible if we try.I dont want a complete protection.Three requirements needed given below

1.No 1:1 copying should be possible.
Solved by overburning of the data files to 800mb

2.Should not be ripped by windows media player ripping
Solved partially.Locking the skin of media player with registry editing.But cannot auto run a reg file from cd.

3.Should play in both cdplayer and computer.

not yet solved

Pls join with me in this effort.

i have tried the link you send earlier of passive protection.But audio cd will not support more than 16 files.I need a cd with 40 mp3 file.So we could not use audio cd mode.We should try to look in data cd mode.There is a problem in it that if we can stop 1:1 copy from nero also we cannot stop single file copy as data is visible.Think in this logic.

Thank You.

@rohanmatthew Audio CD's are ripped not Mp3 disks.

 

[rohanmathew]

@Tron You are right.I think the target wont get success if we look to protect an audio cd mode.We have to protect the mp3 in datamode.
Thank You.

Well sorry for the too late reply... i really forgot to get back to this topic..
Rohan i have seen the software well already said Secure Disc Creator v2.1
Have you tried that one???
and i read all the previous posts... i am unable to get ur 1:1 method. What exactly u want to say? just try to tell in simple words.

 

[arpanmukherjee1]

nothing stops cd cloning.

in my opinion you are probably looking towards audio Watermarking... is that right??

if yes you will have to develop an algo, generally by inserting hashes in the blank spaces of the header and then integrate to the shell...

this being done the OS will recog. any pirated cd and generate error msg.

nero will not copy a cd only if buffer overruns are encountered

'am not sure but look into hooking concept of the os. if the specific flag is encountered by our app (in VC++ and/or C#) and the process name matches nero then you can throw memory out of exception error. alternatively load multiple files simultaniously. this i have done and the RAM usage shoots to 98% even on C2D proccy

same with me. what is 1:1 ??

 

[hjpotter92]

Rohan ji.. have you ever seen such a CD or a DVD? I have never encountered such a thing, so have never heard of it, or tried it.

Rohan...rohan...rohan...

You are taking a step like many others towards DRM (Digital Rights Management)

So You Want To Make Your Own DRM Protected CD?

How do I add DRM protection to a audio file?

But I'll tell you that ANY copy protection CAN & WILL be broken. The simplest way, is to listen to it and record the output audio thro audacity or something.

I'll leave you with this quote:
"You CANNOT protect a cd from being copied, but you CAN try fool yourselves into thinking that you can protect a cd from being copied"

Which is what ALL DRM-enabled media companies are thinking including Sony...UbiSoft...EA...
