2. MovieGuard Video Player

   - This is the software that you distribute and/or sell to your customers to allow them access to your Video. You must also distribute the data files that are generated in the output directory. The MovieGuard Player allows the user to change volume, change track position, test their sound card, display the album ID3 tags, send e-mail and visit a web site. V2.0 You can now allow your customers to save the Movie files in native format. This ALLOW SAVE option only works if you specify the option and the customer has registered with you (has paid for the songs). This allows for a shareware marketing approach to songs. They can try out your songs but cannot download them to another Movie player until the songs have been registered (purchased).

Different Uses

1. Movie Only - no advertising screens and no license verification is performed. This is accomplished by not entering any data into the ShareGuard Progam field, Ad Screen image and Ad Screen URL fields. This feature is useful for marketing when you want to give away free information but you do not want them to be able to copy, print or save your information.
2. Movie With Advertising - An advertising screen is displayed whenever the user starts the Movie Player to watch and listen to your video. This is accomplished by entering data into the Ad Screen image and Ad Screen URL fields. This feature is useful for marketing when you want to give away free Video but you want them to visit a particular web site in order to upsell them on another product.
3. Licensed Movie - license verification is performed. This is accomplished by entering a valid ShareGuard project filename into the ShareGuard Program field. This feature is useful for marketing when you want to ensure that all users have registered their Movie playlist with you. The registration process can be free if you just collect e-mail addresses or the registration can be to an e-commerce site if you wish to charge money for your e-book.
   
   NOTE: This method requires the ShareGuard module which is optional. You can download and try ShareGuard for free. See the Internet/Download ShareGuard on the main menu.
