encrypting videos

[Rozis]

Is there any developer who can give me a hint on how to change a video such it can not be played anymore with Videolan - and if possible with almost any videao-player? The goal is to make private videos unaccessable to others - for example when someone stole your pc. This need not to be a strong encryption, just keep most people out. I tried to understand the mpeg-documentation but i can't find documentation what is the fileformat for a video-file. I'm not interested in how video-compression is done. I'm looking just for the container-format and how to change that in such a way video-players can't cope with that anymore.

Real hints are worth 100 euro's.

Please give me a hint....

thanks,

i expected that type of answer. Where can i find docs about ts muxer? And could you help me if i dont fully understand that? (just a hint what to read and what not would help me.)

Well, I am not sure there are some good docs about it. But encrypting using CSA in a TS muxer can make VLC protect your movies.
