Producers with small DVD replication needs now may have
same copy production as features
By Warner Sills
For the first time and exclusively in Chicago, a local company
offers the same kind of copy protection to non-theatrical producers
with short order needs that big studios use to prevent DVD piracy.
(Chicago Digital) collaborated with Macrovision’s RipGuard
copy protection to create RipGuard-MOD (ManufacturingOnDemand) to
protect recordable DVDs. “The piracy of independent producer

RipGuard-MOD v2.4, Macrovision’s newest video content protection
technology, is the most widely adopted rip control technology in
the market today.
RipGuard-MOD defeats most copiers by neutralizing their tools of
