SITE OWNERS / PRODUCERS - Protecting your content *LOOK*

Figured this deserved its own thread to get some good input.

I am in the middle of creating something that will allow you to:

1. Watermark a video in REAL-TIME with a username, ip & timestamp (or any string - such as a database record #) in multiple locations at different, random intervals in a way that is practically unnoticeable to the naked eye.

* Every "major" codec / format is supported. H.264, WMV 9, etc

* Watermarking can be done on streaming as well as downloaded (right click, save as) video - IN REAL TIME.

* Watermarks are not lost if the video has been re-encoded.

* Watermarks are not lost if the quality is changed (to a certain point - horrible quality makes identifying the watermarks difficult but not always impossible).

* Watermarks are not lost if the video has been cropped or modified or copied with any kind of capture software.

* It is nearly impossible (but mainly, not worth it) for anyone to try to locate & obstruct the watermarks.

* No special video player is required at all, you won't have to change anything.


2. Detect watermarks & provide you with a report of the findings.


3. Allow multiple "layers" of watermarking to support the producer -> website owner / buyer -> member / subscriber model.



The solution is most likely going to end up hardware based, with very minimal integration requirements & NO VIDEO RE-ENCODING NEEDED! The process isn't as resource intensive as you would think.

What you do with violating members is up to you - I will just provide you with a way to find out who is doing what.



Yes, it works. Anyone interested in something like this?
