Embedding a watermark in content

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 or stream and cannot be removed. The watermark can be used to identify content even if it is copied or edited.

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.
