ARccOS

ARccOS (Advanced Regional Copy Control Operating Solution) developed by Sony DADC is a passive copy control technology with a dynamic copy protection system which is now available for replicated DVD-Video. This is perhaps the most effective copy control solution with a very high success rate at preventing 1:1 duplication, ripping, recompression and unauthorized mass replication.

The ARccOS copy protection technology applies a unique digital signature to every single DVD-Video title while not affecting video quality. These digital signatures while cause copying and ripping software to fail while being ignored by all DVD players.
