You can embed a digital watermark into a stream. Watermarks are a way of adding information, such as a copyright or artist's name, to the audio and video stream, but watermarks are not audible or visible to the user. The watermark is preserved in the encoded file, for example, if the file is copied or encoded again, and is used to read the file to verify the file's source or authenticity.
You must obtain and register a third-party plug-in to work with watermarks. For information about obtaining a watermark plug-in, see the Microsoft Web site.
