There are various programs that can add very simple copy protection to a home made cd. This will only stop the most novice of users though.
You will not get a copy protection such as Safedisk or Securom.

Have a look here (http://www.technocdr.cjb.net) for a guide to some simple copy protections.

is there any way for that

The answer is more simple: impossible

Any encapsulation will not fit your need, as il will leave your content unprotected: it's useless to protect the viewer!

And if you look for something more serious, you will not find it, as Macromedia do not open Flash for internet security reasons (they have done it for Director).

so u say there is no way by which we can prevent a file from being copied from cd to harddisk.


i really need that kind of technique to prevent illegal coping

it doesnt matter if they crack it or not

is it possible

I didn't say that, I was answering to your first post. But anyway, I'm afraid the answer to your second question is almost the same: you need the file to be on your CD, for displaying it. The only thing you can do is modify the FAT of the CD, to make the file look bigger. But it's not a really serious protection...And you will need to be sure the player will stop at your end, not at the end of the file (ie the file must content the end pattern, like </HTML> for an HTML file)
