Defend Your Digital Content With Primera's New PTProtect Software

Primera Technology, a leading developer and manufacturer of CD, DVD and Blu-ray disc duplication and printing equipment, has announced its new PTProtect Software.
PTProtect is seamlessly integrated into Primera's PTPublisher v1.30 (or greater) duplication software. It provides a reliable yet effective anti-rip solution for protecting DVD video without adding extra steps to existing workflow processes.
PTProtect software is applied to the DVD image just before burning. When content is burned to a disc it is encapsulated to prevent common ripping programmes from having access to it. The content on the DVD is not modified in any way and the copy control encapsulation resides in areas of the discs not read by DVD players, so the play-back quality remains unaffected.
PTProtect copy controlled discs have full playability designed to match the same playability levels in DVD players as unprotected DVDs. In essence, PTProtected discs are designed to provide effective "speed-bump" protection to combat unauthorised casual copying.
Mark D. Strobel, Primera's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said: "Primera is proud to offer PTProtect as an efficient and cost-effective solution for virtually anyone who produces original content DVDs. We feel Video production studios, wedding and event videographers and training video authors will all benefit from having reliable protection for their copyrighted materials - at a price they can afford."
PTProtect is an effortless way to produce protected DVDs since it does not need to load any new software onto the PC for the protection to work. Protection is applied on a "click-charge" basis for each disc burned. Blocks of protection keys can be conveniently purchased through Primera on pre-loaded USB dongles.
PTProtect software is available at Primera's website. It is provided at no extra charge to registered users and includes three free protected DVD video burns. Subsequent burns are priced in blocks as follows and can be purchased from Primera Europe:

• Dongle with 100 burn credits: €177 (£150)
• Dongle with 1,000 burn credits: €787 (£665)
• Dongle with 5,000 burn €2,953 (£2,495)
