Film distributor looking for a way to share screeners with cinemas in China securely.
Screeners are pre-release distributions intended for reviewers and cinema operators. Piracy via leaked screeners is a huge problem for the film industry. My employer, a startup film distribution company, is looking for a way to share films with cinemas in China without them being copied for unauthorized distribution.
This type of video sharing is often done with a password protected, download disabled Vimeo file. A step beyond Vimeo, there are a number of dynamic watermark capable websites specifically designed for secure video sharing within the film industry. Vimeo is blocked in China, and after trying a number of commercial services, none had acceptable streaming speeds when accessed from within China.
Are there any other solutions for our scenario? Either a viable streaming solution or a self destruct capable offline solution.
