Copy Protect Video Extension for Joomla

Joomla extension for copy protectionThis extension enables the insertion of CopySafe Video files into Joomla posts and pages from the Joomla page editor. Without this module adding HTML to activate a browser plugin would be an arduous task, even for experienced web developers. But that task has been greatly simplified.

Simply upload the protected video file that was created by the CopySafe Video Encoder, nominate the protection settings to use, then the editor will place the generated shortcode at the cursor position. Your protection settings can be modified at any time by simply editing the shortcode in HTML view.

  • Copy protect videos displayed online.
  • Safe from PrintScreen and all screen capture software.
  • Videos cannot be retrieved from browser cache.
  • Domain-locked videos cannot be displayed elsewhere.
  • Videos stored on the server are safe from webmasters.
  • Encrypted videos cannot be downloaded or scraped.
  • Watermark displays user's information.

How this Joomla Extension Works

When editing a page or post, you may insert the short code by clicking on the [Video] icon above the HTML editor toolbar where the cursor was last placed in the text area. After uploading or selecting an existing video class file (from a previous upload), you can then nominate the security settings to use for the page or post. Different pages can use different security and display settings:

 Width  Width in pixels of the video viewing area
 Height   Height in pixels of the video viewing area
 Allow Remote  Prevent computers using remote or virtual access
 Watermark  Overlay user's ID, name and date

Default Settings for this Joomla Extension

Default settings can be applied to all CopySafe Video pages and posts. You can also select from 3 modes, which can be changed at any time:

 Demo Mode  Allows use of the Module without requiring a CopySafe Video license
 Licensed  For users with the CopySafe Video software for encrypting images
 Debug Mode  Displays the HTML for object tag instead of displaying the image

Video Watermark

With this extension you can set font-size, font-color, position and opacity for the watermark which will be dynamically filled with the user's details. Non-logged in users will have their IP address and data overlaid, while logged in users will have ID, name and date overlaid.

CopySafe Video Licensing

The CopySafe Video Encoder enables the encryption of videos for desktop viewing and distribution by email, download and disk with copy protection options and the ability to assign DRM control. It can also encrypt protected video for display online, from a web page, using the web browser plugin included with the ArtisBrowser.

Every CopySafe Video Encoder license provides for unlimited use and includes free DRM hosting to manage subscribers. But it does not include licensing for online display using Domain Lock. If the Encoder is unlicensed videos may be limited to 2 minutes play time and can only be viewed from http://localhost. ArtistScope polices the use of domain lock in CopySafe Video by requiring registration for each web site.

CopySafe Video Plugin Detection

When CopySafe Video is used on a web page, if a visitor does not have the CopySafe Video browser DLL installed for ArtisBrowser, they are redirected for download and install instructions. This Joomla Module includes everything needed for this task including download and error pages.

CopySafe Video Extension Modes

There are 3 mode settings to choose from in the module's default settings:

  • Demo : This option will add a placeholder image at the designated location.
  • Licensed : To use encrypted video created by the CopySafe Video software.
  • Debug : Use this option to check the HTML code that is added.

To edit these settings, go to Components > CopySafe Video and change to licensed mode if you have the CopySafe Video software to create encrypted video for upload. ArtisBrowser is the only browser that should be allowed unless your users are using another browser that still supports NPAPI plugins.
