Video DRM Software for Downloadable and Offline Delivery

GiliSoft Video DRM Protection is Windows software for packaging downloadable videos as protected GEM or EXE files. Unlike ordinary video encryption, it keeps playback rules attached after delivery through passwords, PC or USB binding, dynamic watermarks, expiration limits, and online password revocation.

Use it for paid training videos, downloadable online-course lessons, coaching libraries, partner previews, confidential product demos, internal compliance recordings, and premium media that viewers need to play outside a closed website or LMS.

This is an offline video DRM workflow, not a hosted streaming DRM service. If viewers stream inside a browser or app using Widevine, FairPlay, or PlayReady, choose a streaming DRM provider. Choose GiliSoft when you distribute protected files and need control to remain with the downloaded package.

Edition and player note: Free, Pro, and Deluxe editions support different packaging and control levels. Cross-platform custom player delivery for Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS is a separate cooperation project because player development, signing, testing, publishing, and maintenance are not a simple standard switch.

Core Video DRM Features

Protect Video, PDF, Office, PPT, and Web Content

Use one DRM workflow for video-first delivery while also supporting PDF, Office, PowerPoint, web content, and mixed training packages when supporting materials need the same controlled handoff.

Add Files and Build a Protected Package

Add source videos or mixed content files, review the file list, then package them into a protected output that is opened through the authorized GiliSoft playback workflow.

Encryption and Playback Settings

Configure encryption behavior, playback prompts, access messages, output options, and basic playback rules before creating the protected delivery package.

Playback Password Maker

Create different playback passwords for viewers, customers, course batches, or delivery groups so protected content can be distributed without relying on one shared password.

Device and Storage Binding Modes

Choose PC binding, USB disk binding, CD/DVD binding, demo playback, or fixed password modes so playback stays aligned with your licensing and delivery model.

Dynamic Watermarks for Traceability

Add floating or fixed watermarks with customizable text, color, size, and viewer-specific information to discourage misuse and help identify leaked playback copies.

Anti-Copy and Anti-Screen-Recording Controls

Use anti-copy settings, screen-capture deterrence, virtual-machine blocking, and playback environment checks to reduce casual recording, copying, and unauthorized viewing.

Viewer Verification and Access Questions

Show playback questions, access prompts, contact messages, or authorization instructions before viewing so users know how to request or confirm access.

Blacklist Leaked or Revoked Passwords

Block leaked, expired, or revoked playback passwords with the online blacklist instead of rebuilding every protected video or training package after access changes.

Export Protected GEM or EXE Output

Export protected content as GEM or EXE packages after encryption, password rules, binding, watermarking, anti-copy settings, and output location are ready.

How-to Guides

Who Is This For?

Training providers and course creators

Protect paid lessons, recorded classes, coaching libraries, and certification materials shared with students or customers.

Businesses sharing confidential video content

Secure internal announcements, partner briefings, product demos, and compliance videos that should not be freely redistributed.

Teams distributing licensed media to external viewers

Use playback passwords, watermarking, and binding controls when premium media must be delivered outside your organization.

Publishers who need more than simple video encryption

Choose DRM-style playback controls when password-only video locking is not enough for your delivery model.

Coaches, consultants, and educators selling video libraries

Deliver downloadable lesson content while keeping playback tied to authorized customers, passwords, or devices.

Compliance and HR teams distributing sensitive recordings

Protect onboarding, policy, investigation, and internal training videos when they need controlled access beyond the company network.

Video DRM Protection vs Encryption, Watermarking, and Streaming DRM

Playback control goes beyond a file password

Video DRM workflows can combine playback passwords, binding rules, and access revocation rather than relying on one shared password alone.

Watermarks help, but they do not control access

Watermarking is useful for traceability, but DRM-style rules help control who can play the video and where playback is allowed.

Offline packages are different from streaming DRM

GiliSoft packages downloadable files for controlled offline playback. Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady are normally used by hosted streaming platforms, websites, and apps.

Use copy-protection tools for other workflows

If your real goal is basic video copy protection, USB delivery, or PDF-only controls, a more specialized product page may be the better fit.

Revocation matters after content is delivered

Blacklist controls are useful when a playback password leaks or a customer, employee, or partner should no longer have access.

Traceability supports responsible sharing

Dynamic watermarking helps connect playback copies to viewers, projects, or distribution batches when content must be shared externally.

Does your DRM work on all devices?

The encryption and protection workflow itself is available on Windows only. That means protected files must be created and packaged on a Windows system. For playback, GiliSoft DRM is designed for broader delivery across major Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS scenarios, but this does not mean every device or every third-party player is guaranteed. Protected content is intended to be accessed through the authorized GiliSoft playback workflow, and actual compatibility depends on the protection mode, operating system, and playback requirements of the protected file.
