So I've been working a few Quicktime movies on my G4, just so I could add them to Cornica.org later. I've now come across an interesting phenomena with two movie trailers. The trailers can be watched fine. But even as a Quicktime Pro user I can neither save nor export them. They also come with a 20th Century Fox watermark. Here's an example. Does anyone know if there was some kind of early DRM possible with Quicktime? If so, do you know how? I've never read anything about it, so taken by surprise. But since this is the second trailer with this, I figure Hollywood didn't want somebody to touch their movie trailers? Anyone can confirm? |

QuickTime is a container format and with containers it is always possible to add DRM, but as far as I know QuickTime never officially supported DRM. Of course you know companies, if they think a buck can be made by locking something down, they will lock it down. Perhaps something like HandBrake could be used to convert to another format, and then of course use HandBrake to convert it back to QuickTime without the DRM.

Seems like Apple actually did provide DRM support for Qt back in the day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime One implementation of it was called FairPlay.

Aha, so my suspicion seems correct. Interesting, I need to read up on this. Thank you!
