I typically add an unobtrusive watermark (company logo) using Squeeze
to add branding and "discourage" distribution.

But this little fella...

http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-Users/2007/Dec/msg00075.html

will effectively disable *all* user modifiable file attributes
normally accessible via QT Pro. It's an Applescript drag n' droplet
which adds and enables the "nsav" attribute / flag. You then won't be
able to save / save as / export / change attributes (Properties) etc.
etc. etc.

WARNING:: MAKE A COPY Of YOUR ORIGINAL FIRST!!!!! Once the QT file is
made un-editable, there's no going back (or at least easy way back
that I've determined) so ALWAYS WORK ON A COPY!!!!!

As always, test and verify before deployment to make sure it works as
expected for you on your platform and in your environment (because we
all know how fscking stable Quicktime releases are, right?)

Oh, did I mention... MAKE A COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!
