Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for watermarking of digital video are described herein. According to various embodiments, a request to transmit to a client machine video content based on a video content distribution item may be received. The video content distribution item may be divided into a plurality of video content segments. Designated ones of the video content segments may have a respective plurality of alternate video content segment encodings. Each of the alternate video content segment encodings may include a respective digital watermark. Different digital watermarks may encode different information within the alternate video content segment encodings. One of the respective alternate video content segment encodings may be selected for each of the designated video content segments to create a digital watermarking message to include in the video content. The video content including the selected video content segment encodings may be transmitted to the client machine.
