Encrypt my own dvd movies

by dolphfan1964 Jul 15, 2007 9:40AM PDT

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for the replies. I make animated dvd slide shows for weddings, graduations etc. I scan photos and them add them to software I have to make them animated. Is there any software out there that I can encrypt the dvd so that the people can not copy them?

Thanks
