Abstract: A system and method for transmitting video over a network, e.g., the Internet, securely without the need of third-party video players or plugins. The system and method may be particularly useful for mobile web applications. The system and method may provide mechanisms that authenticate and authorize users of video, tracks usage and distribution, and enables high quality video to be delivered instantly in all popular browsers, making it a truly cross platform distribution system. By freeing video as an element from the restrictions of the <video> tag, video can be displayed and manipulated as images are currently while maintaining digital rights management (DRM) security. Website backgrounds and other major design elements may be rendered in video that can be marked up, written onto, and potentially deep-linked to links to the products by multiple techniques.
