WARNING Don't pay for IRSC codes for videos 

We are getting an increasing number of clients calling about getting IRSC codes embedded in to their video copies that are getting played on programmes such as RAGE on ABC TV.

There are a number of suspect issues with this practice that we need to alert the Australian Music Industry about:

1/ If you have IRSC codes for your music tracks issued by ARIA in Australia then you will be automatically allocated a video code for those tracks (it will contain a "7" instead of "2").

2/ This will be allocated free by ARIA in Australia along with your normal CD IRSC codes and there will be no extra payment required.

3/ To our knowledge (Also verified by SONY DADC, AMCOS, MIPI, APRA & ARIA)  there is no software available to embed this IRSC Code in to video tracks such as DIGI-BETA copies for RAGE

4/ There are no video playback devices that can retrieve and display these IRSC codes that we are aware of, so the code cannot be verified in the video.

5/ You should request IRSC codes from ARIA in Australia as they administer them in this country. There is no need to pay an individual or organisation outside of Australia for this work.

6/ If you are convinced or requested by an overseas person or company to buy an IRSC code for a video clip, and pay by WESTERN UNION or other untraceable banking method ASSUME that is bogus and you will be paying money for something that has no value. 

7/ Further information on IRSC codes can be gained on our website or via www.aria.com.au 

8/ We have had confirmation (15-12-10) from RAGE programmers at ABC Tv that these IRSC codes are not required when you submit a video tape for airplay on the show. 

For high quality digibeta copies of your video clips suitable for playback on programmes such as Rage, contact ProCopy on 08 9375 3902 or 1300 4 PROCOPY, Further enquiries can be made to [email protected]
