Clarification please..

August 6th, 2016

I’ve downloaded I am legend from a HTTP which took 15 minutes, I’ve watched the film and now I’m using ConvertXtoDVD to burn it and convert it s my Dad can watch it.
It pops up every 30 minutes or so saying this which is scaring me.
This SECURE SCREENER is on loan for viewing by you. It is DIGITALLY WATERMARKED.
Should I be getting worried?
Should I not burn it?
Am I going to get told off or into trouble?

I do not intend to sell this, just watch it, I will not lend it or borrow either.

Answer #1
Yep, It’s a Screener..
SCREENER (SCR) -
A pre VHS tape, sent to rental stores, and various other places for promotional use. A screener is supplied on a VHS tape, and is usually in a 4:3 (full screen) a/r, although letterboxed screeners are sometimes found. The main draw back is a "ticker" (a message that scrolls past at the bottom of the screen, with the copyright and anti-copy telephone number). Also, if the tape contains any serial numbers, or any other markings that could lead to the source of the tape, these will have to be blocked, usually with a black mark over the section. This is sometimes only for a few seconds, but unfortunately on some copies this will last for the entire film, and some can be quite big. Depending on the equipment used, screener quality can range from excellent if done from a MASTER copy, to very poor if done on an old VHS recorder thru poor capture equipment on a copied tape. Most screeners are transferred to VCD, but a few attempts at SVCD have occurred, some looking better than others.
DVD-SCREENER (DVDscr) -
Same premise as a screener, but transferred off a DVD. Usually letterbox , but without the extras that a DVD retail would contain. The ticker is not usually in the black bars, and will disrupt the viewing. If the ripper has any skill, a DVDscr should be very good. Usually transferred to SVCD or DivX/XviD.

…and if Daddy doesn’t go mad at you for downloading Movez then you will probably survive

OK. Don’t worry Worry.
Screeners usually have that.
Some change form colored to black and white form time to time.
I’ve watched the exact same release.
