fluxDVD Overview |
If you are interested to learn about the basic features of the fluxDVD format, read below.
fluxDVD is the downloadable DVD.

A fluxDVD contains all features of the original DVD such as anamorphic picture (16:9/4:3), multiple audio and subtitle tracks, different video angles, seamless branching and movie versions (theatrical and directors cut) and of course menus, navigation.
In short, with fluxDVD you get everything that you are used from your store bought DVDs. |
fluxDVD works everywhere
 |
Due to the small size of only 1.x GB a fluxDVD is quickly downloaded. A fluxDVD can be viewed on the PC in Windows Media Player or Media Center or burned to a DVD-R that plays in every standard DVD-Player.

fluxDVD is secure
 |
fluxDVDs use a Microsoft Windows Media compatible DRM scheme that allows easy integration into exiting server- and client side MS DRM environments. Burned DVD-Rs use an updateable, sophisticated DMCA copy protection such as Secureburn or Recordable CSS. The DVD-Rs created with SecureBurn are 100% compatible to standard hard- and software DVD-Players that can read recordable DVDs. |

fluxDVD for content owners |
Read the following if you are interested in creating and distributing our own fluxDVDs.
Creating a fluxDVD
 |
fluxDVDs are created from the original DVD and contain all the original features plus tagging information as well as cover and label artwork. The encoding process happens in a distributed encoding network in which the encoding processes are scheduled in parallel to multiple nodes. Batch operation modes enable the fully automated processing of large number of DVD in short period of time. More information about encoding is available after login. |

The process to apply DRM to fluxDVD files is identical to applying Windows Media DRM to WMV files and the license generation works the same way.
However, for fluxDVD files some additional rights such as the rights to convert it to (optionally copy protected) DVD-R media are available. More information and sample code for DRM and license generation is available after login.
