Concerning DVD's and players, is there a way to lock out certain scenes during DVD play? You would think with the ability to search by scene that there would be the ability to lock out scenes? Will any player do this, a specific player, or none?

Thanks,

Not seen this feature before.

What I've done is first rip it off with Handbrake (free app)
Then edit the scenes in quicktime then burn back to DVD etc

Bingo Clean.. but less digital quality.

news article wrote: In April 2005, Congress clarified aspects of the dispute by passing the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act. The law made it a federal offense to videotape a movie in a movie theater and increased the criminal penalties for pirating material from a film, especially pre-release material.

On the other hand, Congress amended the copyright law to make it lawful for ClearPlay and other companies to distribute filters to a “household for private home viewing from an authorized copy of (a) motion picture.”

It seems there are companies that edit dvd's for rent, and even software that skips or deletes selected scenes in movies. See http://clearplay.com/

NOPE. thats the short answer.

I do remember when DVD was being introduced on TV news etc. The kewlest piece of equipment.

They told us that with the DVD videos you would be able to purchase/rent a video and choose language you wante to hear it in. (Eng,Fr, SP etc) and also what version you wanted to watch G, PG R etc

Never has happened as far as I know.

Dissappointing.
