edit: so each time a file is downloaded from a members section that customer code wud be added to the file
Errr because the it would be stripped out at the same time as the DRM. If the DRM actually worked then you wouldn't need to embed the data.

There are options although not very viable. Embed codes in frames of the movie/clip, this is very processor intensive and requires a shit load of disk space.
