That is the second method I mentioned, and as long as you only re-encode a few keyframes frames of the stream, the hit to the server is minimal.
BUT, you don't see these approaches offered much in the open market for guys like us because they are covered by some patents owned by heavy-ass dudes that are big into litigation. This isn't a software patent either, so more countries recognize its viability. So, you either have to code this yourself and fly under the radar, or risk litigation by using or writing an open market on-the-fly watermark system, or pay a royalty that's anything but small.
