Abstract

See full text

A method and system for implementing the pay-per-view DVD-ROM system, whereby the enabling data provided to the DVD-player allowing the playback of the DVD-ROM video data is provided to the DVD-player via the Internet or via the cable-TV system provider. The invention discriminates between DVD-ROM's requiring pay-per-view play, and those that are free and do not require pay-per-view play, by the use of a special code for the header of the DVD-ROM indicating a pay-per-view title. Also disclosed is use of a smart card or ATM card for receiving the enabling data for allowing playback of the Hyper-DVD disk.
