Pretty straightforward and self-explanatory video encryption software. Provides DRM capability for certain video file types.

Not all file types are supported, which can be inconvenient when trying to encrypt a batch of various video file types. I've also had a couple of occurrences when the program crashed or did not correctly process the video.
