This is called as DRM (digital rights management) aka content protection. Open Source is against this philosophy and it is discouraged. Technically it is possible to encrypt the content and write it to the DVD - but that will create a lot of problems. But don't do such things - content must be shared. If you prefer not to share just hide the disc from others getting access to it. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
