We (PornGuardian.com) offer such a watermarking system. You can email me at [email protected] if you are interested in more information.

Out of curiousity here, what happens when the file gets transcoded? Are you encoding a frame into the video itself? I assume not as that would require that you transcode the video on the fly as the user downloads. Lets say I go on a site, download a wmv (watermarked by your system), and upload it to a tube site that transcodes it to flv? Is the watermark still detectable?
