Macrovision SafeDisc

TransGaming next week is expected to announce an agreement with Macrovision designed to help protect high profile game titles as they are released for Intel-based Macs using the company's Cider game development engine. The engine allows publishers to extend their products to Mac users without having to recode or recompile Windows-based software. "With the expected increase in the number of top tier video game titles that are released for the Mac through TransGaming's Cider engine, publishers are looking for copy protection for their content. Through this agreement, TransGaming will be working with Macrovision's SafeDisc technology to make it easier for game publishers to protect their PC games on the Mac....By bringing Macrovision's SafeDisc to Mac, TransGaming's Cider product can not only deploy top titles on the Mac more quickly and cost-effectively than anyone else but we are also now able to offer protection from piracy of content, providing a strong incentive and confidence for publishers to target the Mac platform."
