Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This checklist puts the paywall decision, the four enforcement layers, geo-gating with EU portability and concurrency limits on one sheet, a solid gate before launch. We wrote a seven-volume handbook on the full video stack; start with Volume 3 for DRM, players and delivery economics, then Volume 2 for HLS and DASH packaging, where signed URLs and tokens attach. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
