“I need a video file protection software that requires a password to view videos, and once the video file is copied out of the disk, it becomes unviewable and remains protected.” This is a common pain point for many content creators and corporate training managers. Precious video content, if leaked, can lead to financial losses or even the loss of years of hard work. GiliSoft Video DRM Protection is a professional tool designed to solve such problems.​

Password Protection and Permission Control​

To meet the core need for “password-based viewing,” GiliSoft has built a strict permission management system. Videos require a “playback password” to be viewed, blocking unauthorized access from the first line of defense. More flexibly, through the Password Maker feature, it can generate unique passwords for different users. For example, companies can assign exclusive passwords to employees in different departments, and training institutions can customize access permissions for each student, enabling precise management.​

In case of potential password leakage, the “Password Blacklist” feature can be activated immediately. Simply adding the leaked password to the blacklist will render it invalid instantly, completely preventing abuse. This dynamic permission adjustment capability eliminates the worry of “a single password leak compromising the entire library.”​

Preventing Viewing After Copying (Binding Protection)​

To address the key requirement of “maintaining protection after copying,” GiliSoft has created a multi-layered protection network through diverse binding modes and anti-copy mechanisms.​

It supports multiple binding modes to cover various scenarios:​

• USB Drive Binding: Encrypted videos are deeply bound to a specified USB device. Even if copied to another disk or device, they cannot be opened due to the lack of the USB’s hardware identifier.​

• PC Binding: The password is tied to the user’s computer hardware information (such as motherboard or hard disk serial number). Even with the correct password, the video cannot be played on another computer.​

• CD/DVD Binding: If the encrypted video is burned to a CD/DVD, it will be uniquely bound to that disc and cannot be read in other optical drives.​

In addition, the software’s built-in anti-copy mechanism actively blocks unauthorized copying, prohibiting videos from being transferred to USB drives, cloud drives, mobile hard disks, and other storage media, thus cutting off the path of illegal distribution at the operational level.​

Enhanced Security Protection​

Beyond basic protection, GiliSoft strengthens security through multiple advanced features. To tackle the common loophole of “screen recording piracy,” the anti-screenshot/recording function automatically scans and blocks mainstream screen recording software such as OBS and Bandicam, making unauthorized recording nearly impossible.​

The watermark function enhances protection from the perspective of content identification: it supports adding floating or fixed watermarks with custom text, colors, and sizes. Among them, floating watermarks randomly change positions, significantly increasing the difficulty of removing them after piracy. Even if the video is leaked, the source can be traced through the watermark.​

Meanwhile, the software offers personalized security settings, such as restricting playback on virtual machines (to prevent bypassing hardware binding via virtual machines) and disabling online playback (to avoid being captured during online distribution), reducing cracking risks through refined control.​

Ease of Use and Compatibility: Efficient Protection Without Extra Burden​

Powerful protection capabilities do not come at the expense of usability. GiliSoft’s encryption process is fast and does not require video format conversion, perfectly preserving the original image quality and avoiding content loss due to format changes.​

Encrypted videos can be exported in two practical formats: GEM format, which works with the official GEM player (supporting macOS and Android systems) for multi-terminal scenarios; and EXE format, a portable option that can be played directly without installation, facilitating quick distribution.​

For users with batch processing needs, the software supports simultaneous encryption of multiple formats, including MP4, AVI, PDF, and Office documents. Whether handling hundreds of training courses or large volumes of corporate materials, encryption can be completed with one click, greatly improving work efficiency.​

Cost-Effectiveness and Application Scenarios: Safeguarding Core Content​

Priced at $99.95, this fully functional software offers a “Buy Now” purchase option. Compared to the potential losses caused by content leakage, it is a cost-effective investment in protection.​

Its application scenarios are wide-ranging: corporate internal training videos, R&D materials, paid courses from training institutions, exclusive content from creators, and even film and television materials that require strict distribution control can all achieve the core goal of “authorized-only viewing and prevention of copy distribution” through GiliSoft.​
