About the Macrovision Settings
If your SD project is to be coded for Macrovision Analog Protection System (APS) copy
protection, you must choose the Macrovision type before you build the project.
Important:
The Macrovision APS is not available for HD projects.
The Macrovision APS is an analog copy protection system that alters the video signal in
such a way as to discourage viewers from making copies of your DVD-Video disc onto a
videocassette recorder.
Macrovision Licensing
Use of analog copy protection for DVD applications is subject to the proprietary
intellectual property rights of Macrovision Corporation, of Sunnyvale, California, and
users must complete a usage agreement with Macrovision Corporation before the
analog protection system activation bits are set to “on.” For further information, see the
