Technical question for any and all DRM providers ...
When the file is "packaged" with the licensing technology -- aka the WMV file modified -- does that in any way prevent other software or scripts from a) making a thumb from a screen cap via automated software or scripts or server modules or  in any other way alter the header or anything such that other programs/scripts can no longer recognize, read the file in terms of site publishing?
Just something I've wondered for a while now and which no one's FAQs address.

I actuallly ran into this very issue. All my video is already uploaded to my server, I use MAS and like it very much altho I have to admit I'm still learning it. One of the features that I'm using is automatic thumbnailing of any clip I upload, works well, a few bugs but FAR better than doing it by hand.
Anyway, PlayerDRM had talked about intergrating with MAS, I guess the files would be indexed, and thumbnialed then wrapped, but for this to happen the wrapping would have to happen on my local server, and could not be sent back and forth like the other solution, including playerDRMs that I have seen. Becuase of this, DRM came to a halt and we are still not using it. If they finially do get aroung to a full intergration with MAS I would surely take another look and would most likely use it.
