So how do you conjecture this dada DVD is copy protected?
I notice that you removed the SIX most relevant paragraphs of my
reply when you quoted.
writable DVD products employ several safeguards to prevent valid CSS
decryption keys and CPPM album identifiers from ever being
written to
these discs. For example, blank writable DVD discs come from the
factory with the Control Data Zone of their Lead-in Areas already
prewritten (DVD-R General) or embossed (DVD-RW, DVD-RAM) with dummy
information. And, in the case of DVD-R (version 1.0), DVD-R
(Authoring), DVD+R and DVD+RW, recorders are designed to write only
dummy information in the same disc area (and sector headers). This
also inhibits CSS or CPPM protection being conferred on content
recorded on writable DVD discs for professional or other
applications.
