By encoding a file into DRM format, it doesn't automatically add the 2257 information.
You have to type that information into a field that can then be embeded.
DRM does provide for a nice easy way of identifying the 2257 info, it still requires work to do it. (DRM is a great solution for protection against piracy).

I don't think anyone here said that 2257 automatically encodes into a DRM'd video, please re-read if you got that impression.
And quite frankly, embedding the 2257 into the actual DRM wrap is not a really good idea. While you cannot go back and re-print a box cover and mail it to every person that bought a video, the nature of the internet means that up to date records can be required.
And no, DRM is not limited to a local lookup, I don't think you are really aware of how DRM works if you feel it has this limitation. I realize that you have some sort of product you are selling, so of course you want to make as strong a case for it as you can; however, since the beginning days of DRM Networks, I've been aware (after all it is a CCBill company and the project did start during my time there) of what DRM's potential is, and what it can and cannot do.
Now I don't own a DRM company, and the simple fact that I've also mentioned that DIVX, Real and Quicktime also have some inherent ability to satisfy the requirements if properly modified, means that I'm presenting my opinion on the situation, not trying to sell something
