| Analog Copy Protection (ACP) |
 |
ACP on a DVD-Video: The DVD authoring house that creates your source media (DLT or DVD-R), must enable the Macrovision ACP method. You must notify your Cinram Customer Service Representative if ACP is present on your source media.
ACP on a VHS Tape: Cinram places the ACP method on duplicated VHS tapes. The source media does not contain the ACP method. You must notify your Cinram Customer Service Representative if you intended to have ACP on your VHS duplication order.
How do you pay for using Macrovision ACP?: You will be billed by either Macrovision directly or Cinram, dependent upon with whom you have a formal agreement. If you do not have an agreement with Macrovision, you will be charged by Cinram based upon the number of replicas in your order. Please note for our customer's benefit that better rates for ACP are offered in dealing with Macrovision directly. For contact information, consult your Cinram Sales or Customer Service Representative, or go to http://www.macrovision.com.

SafeDisc on CD-ROM: Macrovision or a Macrovision SafeDisc reseller must premaster a special SafeDisc CD-R source to be used for replication. Cinram is not a SafeDisc Reseller, but can replicate SafeDisc CD-ROMs. You must notify your Cinram Customer Service Representative if SafeDisc is present on your source media.
How do you pay for using Macrovision SafeDisc?: Cinram does not bill the customer directly for using SafeDisc, because Cinram is not a reseller. Cinram reports all SafeDisc usage to Macrovision. All rates and billing are handled by Macrovision or a SafeDisc reseller. For contact information, consult your Cinram Sales or Customer Service Representative, or go to http://www.macrovision.com
