Video Watermarking for Forensic Tracking
A specific application is the so-called user-specific forensic tracking, the goal of which is to help identify the source of unauthorized copies of media files and trace them back to the last authorized recipient or the legitimate content owner.
User-specific forensic watermarking is an application that embeds a timestamp and identifying data, e.g. the service operator, content, transaction and end-user ID.
This establishes a virtual ?chain of custody? for content that accurately identifies the source of unauthorized copies, and which hence provides a valuable tool in potential legal actions against the perpetrator. Moreover, the presence of an identifying watermark will no doubt serve to deter piracy if the user is made aware - beforehand - that the content is traceable to the last authorized recipient. Thus, forensic watermarking is a key component of a layered content and revenue protection strategy.ADGSession based, user specific, forensic, robust, invisible watermarking. Robust against analog-digital conversion, recompression and other filtering. Security reviewed by third-party and accepted by major studios. -

Not as fancy as that but I noticed that Studiohotline was starting to put the viewers username into the video stream for live chat. That should discourage the recorders! Or at least let the site quickly ban those people.Comment

all the pirate has to do is rerender it. We created our own solution months ago. The only way is to, have the camera record it into the data stream. But that wouldnt work either as you dont have said pirates data yet

I think most pirates are too lazy to render each video, especially if they don't know the code is there.Comment

you are mistaken. Pirates log into your members area from a remote desktop so there are 5-6 upload monkeys logged into their box which is logged into your members area. From there, each monkey does a task. Lastly, it gets rerendered, usually into h264, and then it gets auto submitted and hand submitted by the rest of the monkeys. This is a business for them. Online businesses are only viable if there is a large degree of automation. You'd be surprised how advanced some of these guys are.

It's not IP based, it can attach the Username. I use a password sharing script so 5-6 could never login at once. I offer H.264 mp4 which they are very excited to steal so I doubt they would re-render it but I'm not 100% sure on that one.you are mistaken.

5-6 lig into their own box so they all can see the same thing. From there they log into your members area. It's 1 ip. Trust me on me this.
