CopySafe Video Protection : Copy Protect Video
CopySafe Video
provides the most secure video protection on the planet. Copy protected videos are safe from all copy and with DRM applied they
can be protected from sharing and unauthorized distribution.
CopySafe Video can be distributed by email, download and on disk for
desktop viewing with DRM. Or they can be displayed
on web pages for online viewing or local viewing from USB. However desktop
reading is the preferred option employed by most authors because our DRM
provides total control over all aspects with immediate effect on any
changes made, even on video already saved to a user's computer.

Desktop Viewing vs. Online Viewing
Both options are secure but there are some differences:
- Contrary to what some believe, in both cases the video is downloaded
to the user's computer and viewed locally. The only difference is where the file gets saved.
For desktop viewing it gets saved to the user's chosen location and with online viewing the
video is saved to the browser's cache folder. Or it may already be saved on USB or DVD. However that makes no difference to security, because being encryted,
they can only be viewed in the protected environment provided by either the CopySafe Video Player or ArtisBrowser.
- Videos for desktop viewing will always load faster because there is no delay for a download - they are already on the user's computer.
- DRM can be applied to video for desktop viewing by the CopySafe Video Player, but DRM applied to video for online viewing needs to be applied by the membership/subscription system provided by your website.
