VidSecure lets you sell or share videos without them being freely copied. You encrypt a video once, lock playback to a customer's specific device (or a password you control), and give them a player. Everything runs completely offline — no streaming server, no accounts, no monthly cloud fees.
It comes in two parts:
- VidSecure Protector (Windows) — the studio where you encrypt videos, set the rules (expiry, play-limit, watermark, anti-capture…), generate your own branded player, and create per-device keys.
- VidSecure Player (Windows & Android) — what your viewers use to play the protected files. The Android and Windows players are fully compatible with the same encrypted files.

No client-side DRM is truly unbreakable — a rooted device or a camera pointed at the screen can still capture content, and anyone claiming "100% unrippable" is not being honest. VidSecure raises the bar dramatically: it removes the easy copy, locks files to devices, blocks the common capture and analysis tools, and watermarks every play so leaks are traceable. That's strong, real-world protection for course creators and video sellers.
