I am a beginner for streaming content over network:)… I have a problem with respect to multicasting. As multicasting is mainly used for efficient bandwidth utilization, helps to transmit same content to multiple users. To prevent users from illegally distributing the content we have to use watermark…

The problem is that to put a permanent watermark in a video like “Gurusoldierp’s Video”, you would have to re-encode the whole video. Doing something like that is too processor intensive for the typical router appliance which might have a 200mhz processor. Your only option is to find some transcode…

@Randall: Thanks a lot for the information :slight_smile:

Watermarking can be performed at the client device like set-top box but the security of the content is not guaranteed. I want to embed invisible watermark such as the customer unique id. Is it possible to embed with in a router or a switch?

@Randall: thanks a lot for the information…

It would have to be done in a 3rd party encoder or using flash on the client side. Do a search in the forums here for “watermarking” for more info. Here’s some informative threads:
