Home > Content Security > Transcoding & Packaging
Transcode, package, and protect video in a single pass.
DoveRunner Transcoding & Packaging (T&P) transcodes your content, applies Multi-DRM and forensic watermarking, and outputs streaming-ready DASH, HLS, and CMAF in one automated, no-code cloud workflow. Now with AV1.
Trusted by the world’s most-recognized companies.
The challenge and the solution.
Stitched-together pipelines slow you down and leave content exposed.
When encoding, packaging, DRM, and watermarking live in separate systems, every handoff adds cost, delay, and risk.
Problem
- Separate encoders, packagers, DRM services, and watermarking tools each need their own integration and upkeep.
- Every handoff is a place where jobs fail and formats drift.
- Protection applied after encoding leaves content exposed in between.
- In-house transcoding clusters tie up capital and engineering time.
DoveRunner T&P: One job from source video file to protected stream.
T&P combines transcoding, adaptive bitrate packaging, Multi-DRM encryption, and forensic watermarking in a single cloud workflow, so content is protected as it’s prepared.
Solution
- Runs transcoding, packaging, DRM, and watermarking in one pass.
- Applies protection during transcoding, not as a separate step afterward.
- Runs in DoveRunner's cloud, with no encoding hardware to buy or maintain.
- Gets teams from onboarding to production in days.
Choose the job type that fits your workflow.
Every T&P job transcodes and packages your content. Choose the protection that fits each title.
Transcoding + Forensic Watermarking + DRM
Full protection for premium VOD. Encrypt content and embed an invisible watermark that traces leaks back to their source.
Transcoding + DRM
Standard encrypted delivery for OTT services, including audio-only content like music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
Transcoding + Forensic Watermarking
Leak tracing without DRM enforcement, for content that needs traceability but not playback restrictions.
Everything you need to prepare secure streams.
AV1, H.264, and H.265 output
Encode AV1 alongside H.264 and H.265 to deliver 4K at roughly half the bitrate of H.264, with DRM and the first forensic watermarking for AV1.
Standards-based packaging
Output MPEG-DASH, HLS, and CMAF with adaptive bitrate ladders generated automatically from your selected resolutions and codecs.
Protection built into the workflow
Multi-DRM encryption and forensic watermarking run during transcoding, so content leaves the workflow already protected.
No infrastructure to manage
Processing runs in DoveRunner's cloud, and output lands in your own AWS S3 storage. No capital spend on hardware and no annual infrastructure commitment.
Console and API automation
Create, clone, pause, and restart jobs from the console or API, with AWS SNS notifications to your topics or Lambda functions.

It has helped us a lot in putting a check on threats from hacker gaming platforms.
Verified user on Gartner
Its ability to obfuscate code is very good, it can also hide and mess up the whole directory tree, you can’t find any hardcode in the old app on it, even in the small code, it almost always encrypts the source code. It’s almost impossible to do any static analysis on it.
