Announcement: Protect Your Videos And Increase Conversions And Member Retention!
 
Hi Everybody,

We've got some exciting news for you. ITDSoft is proud to announce the release of its brand new Video Content Protection and Digital Rights Management system - the <i><b>S</i></b>player SecureVideo System (www.secureyourmedia.com)

The idea is simple - when using our product, your movie files can be viewed only by active members of your site. Once a member cancels their membership, they lose the ability to view the already downloaded videos. When they attempt to play the files, the sign-up page of your site (or any URL of your choice) is opened in their browser and they are prompted to renew their membership. The result is that your content will be protected from p2p file sharing and leeching members that cancel as soon as they have downloaded all your videos. Thus, you will enjoy a boost in conversions and member retention!

The product is specifically designed with the adult industry in mind and is very easy to use both on the server side and the client side. All files are encrypted on the server so you don't have to upload gigs of content. A powerful proprietary encryption algorithm is used to ensure the maximum security of your content. Batch encryption makes using the system a breeze - you can encrypt 1 or a 1000 files at a time (as well as entire folders with video files). You don't even need to set up a separate database with your members' usernames and passwords. The system can work with your existing database (or password file).

The product protects MPEG-1 and AVI (including DivX) files. It works on all versions of Windows (95, 98, NT, Me, 2000 and XP) and with all versions of Windows Media Player (6.4, 7, 8, 9). It even works with other popular Windows-based players like BSPlayer and MicroDVD. The server side of the system works on all types of servers - FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, etc.

We have prepared a live online demo which illustrates how the system works on the client (surfer) side. As part of the demo, you will be able to upload (and encrypt) your own video files, install the client side plug-in (a 482 KB download) and see for yourself how the product works, and what happens when the membership is canceled.

We would be glad to answer any questions that you might have regarding the product. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to protect your valuable video content and increase your revenues!

Regards,

Paul

Straight to the point, heh :)

The pricing is as follows: $10k initial (including set up) + $1k a month, or a $20k lump sum (one time payment).

You are reselling the M$ DRM, which works for WMV files only, and has its faults, both as a business model and security wise. At the same time, our system protects MPEG-1 and AVI (including DivX) files. It is a unique, in-house developed product that will appeal to people who don't want to get tied in a proprietary video format and possibly be gouged for much more money in the future by the format's owner.

Another interesting point is that our solution is specifically tailored to the paysite membership model and does not require additional hardware, server OS licences (which are very substantial by themselves), and has no hidden costs (or costs that can be imposed by MS both to you and to your clients in the future).

So please don't compare apples and oranges, it makes your comparrison irrelevant :)

Just Mike 03-31-2003 07:31 PM

Like most people in the industry I'd feel a bit safer with a company that has a strong reputation and solid people behind it like Playa, Tuck and Oy.

....NO DISRESPECT "THE MACHINE" I just don't know your company.

Besides...come on...Playasolutions ( www.instantdrm.com) has been kickin' ass with DRM forever....you guys are jumping on the bandwagon a little late aren't ya? :1orglaugh

Not to mention your outrageous prices...I think you forgot we are in an economic solwdown.

I am not trying to squash your thunder but I also dont want to see my friends get nailed. For the record, you need no additional anything with our system and MS does not and will not impose any additional anything especially not OS licenses and such.

I can appreciate your ability with Divx and other formats but our money is where the 95% of surfers are on Bill Gates.

As far as using DRM...I secure our files and send them out over P2P networks and also secure our members areas...when content is traded or stolen, we make money from the clicks and from the conversions. This month we are converting 1:521 from P2P traffic to programs.

Like I said, I dont want to take anything away from your system which you have taken time and effort to build but when I hear setup fee and this fee and that fee, I freak out.

The Machine 03-31-2003 07:43 PM

different strokes for different folks. the people who understand my proposition and why it is <i>unique</i> will see the value in it. good luck to everyone though :)

Rochard 03-31-2003 07:46 PM

I agree with Wiseman. Sounds to me like you are trying to charge $10K - $20k a pop for software that cost you next to nothing to write.

I know Tucker personally; I've known him for over a year and I spent the weekend with him in Burbank a few weeks ago. It's not often that someone impresses me in this business, but Tucker is one of the few who have.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get my popcorn.

I'm sorry but you missed the point. Our solution was developed from the ground up, specifically for MPEG-1 and AVI (DivX) files. It has NOTHING to do with the MS DRM, which other guys, like tucker here, pick up ready to go and resell.

Our product was developed in the course of 10 months and took a lot of time and money to finish, but anything unique is that way.

FiReC 03-31-2003 09:21 PM

can anyone setup MS DRM if they have a windows media server?

OY 03-31-2003 09:31 PM

DRM is the way to go if you want to re-capture lost revenue off the P2P networks out there. Let the P2P freebees burn and churn your content all day long now... At the end of the day you still make money.

InstantDRM.com is the only full end to end and plug and play solution that I have seen out there (as of yet)

GREAT program and totally the way to go...

and whose going to share movies they can't even play? why not just imbed a url popup into playable movies?

The Machine 03-31-2003 09:56 PM

For those that haven't noticed - this thread is about protecting MPEG-1 and AVI (DivX) videos, not wmv :)

Hi FiRec...imbeded url's can be stripped out of the headers if not protected.

What sort of encryption algorithm did you use, and how do we know its strong? Proprietary algorithms have a history of faliure.

X37375787 03-31-2003 11:45 PM

so are you telling me that if I grab an AVI movie from XYZ's member area, burn it on a CD and go to a friend's to use it as a warmup for an orgy, it will launch an IE window with the signup page instead of playing in my quicktime?


What about other OSs and vid players??


I don't get it.

X37375787 04-01-2003 12:02 AM

considering so many vid player proggies overwrite the default media associations, I think it's pretty dangerous for the decryption plugin to only support Windows Media Player and "BSPlayer and MicroDVD", which I haven't heard yet. What about Real Player?



Maybe I am just not bright enough to understand this.

X37375787 04-01-2003 12:04 AM

plus for that price I'd hire a few programmers to work out the same thing for me, and save probably a few grant on the run. :2 cents:

Obviously adult webmasters are interested in secure formats, but there are a couple of problems with your claims:

1) There are no major security problems with Windows DRM as of yet. That's not to say there won't be any problems in the future, but monitor any pirate board for any length of time and you'll see them bitching about Windows DRM --- constantly. They don't have much luck with it.

Yes, there was an early crack on audio, not video, but you still had to pay and that issue was addressed. And even that crack was a major pain in the ass for the most savy hackers.

2) Certainly you must know that bandwidth is a major concern for most adult webmasters? And that the WMV file format is preferable for this reason alone --- even without DRM?

Unless you have somehow reinvented the AVI and MPEG format, those files sizes are usually way too large, especially if you're salting P2P networks for sales and the like. Maybe Divx is better (and some major sites are using DRM versions of that), but the potential bandwidth bills are a concern. How do your file sizes compare to the WMV format?

Personally, I'll take my chances on Microsoft, as many major adult webmasters have. I also know some major sites are converting from Real to WMV so that they can take advantage of Windows DRM.

Tucker, I haven't heard of you until now, but I'll check it out.

The Machine 04-01-2003 11:25 AM

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

I think I clarified some major points. This is a great piece of software and people who seriously mean business will see the value in it.

If you have any further questions regarding the product, want to see the live demo and discuss the system's features and why it is a better option for the paysite membership model than other propositions, please contact me personally and I'll be glad to help.
