Watermarking Movies and Trailers

FireofWar · May 12, 2010

How do you guys get rid of those annyoing "blocked in some countries" message over at youtube.

I have literally tried every watermarking method that I know to to try and watermark 2 movies that I want to promote and I always have that annying message.

How does youtube check my video file?

I have even tried some advanced bluring at camtasia with flashing text messages everywhere, and youtube STILL blocks my content.

Help anyone?

you should slow down the vid (a part of the vid) a bit/make it faster and/or add a (black) frame to the beginning/ending
watermarking isn't much help in this case

Just how much do I have to slow it down, speed it up?

I tried several output files of over to 110% of speeding up or 90% of slowing down, and youtube still recognizes the vid...

I guess youtubue is tracking it with the audio track. You should either replace entire audio or add some voice over to it.

No, I'm testing all my videos without audio just to be sure the problem is with the video sequence.

Nah. The problem is with a lot of things including sounds sequences, visual keyframes, and others. So I recommend continuing to try different things until you resolve it, and then posting your results here.

That's kind of a joke, but you'll just have to keep trying, or try a different tact. Maybe create powerpoint presentations with purely original content, and images...stuff like that.

I have this problem too with some vids but still..it doesn't affect me to much since I always look in which countries my videos were blocked and most of the times it says "germany". So, if I am promoting an offer that is targeted for US than it's ok.
Maybe it affects the views count a little because people from germany can't see it .
