This is all moving to everything being pay per view. I wonder if the

that what a movie theater is about, anyway.
Few remember, I suspect, that even this one ticket one movie
approach is *not* how it was ca. 1950s-60s. You paid an admission
price to get in. At least where I lived, you could sit in the
theater all day long, and they ran multiple cartoons, newsreels,
movies, etc for the one admission price (ca. 75 cents).

And you could come in during the feature, and stay when it started
again until you saw the part you missed - if that's all you wanted
to do.
And in the 40's - very small town - my brother and I would go to
the Saturday afternoon matinee - always a doulbe feature with
one regular film and one western.
I'd give them 25 cents for the two of us and get 1 cent in change.
It was 10 cents each and 20% federal tax - that was put in place
for WWII and carried along until well into the 1950s. Like any tax
- it goes on forever.

Seven cents for a matinee in my day and 3 cents for an ice cream. A dime
took care of me for the afternoon. |

At least where I am, at $10.75 a pop, the "old days" do seem
wonderful...except gas was 27 cents a gallon on sale as well.//17 cents if
there was a gas war (I am a baby boomer so not able to comment on pre world
war 2). |

It was just as trivial to defeat then as it is now.

Hi Guys!
Thanks for the quick responses there.
So do you think MACROVISION is not worth it then? Or is that the
better way to go? I've seen ads for commercial duplicators who say
that they can macrovision-enable a disk.
Is this expensive or not worth the cost?

Hi,
I'm looking for software which will allow me to burn video material to
a DVD but enable at the same time some kind of reliable anti-copy
element.
Hard core pirates could probably copy anything so I'm really looking
for software which will prevent casual copying via a computer or a DVD
connected to a DVD or Videotape recorder.
Any recommendations?
Iain
