They'll steal it anyway, unless you watermark it.

Hey, this ought to be easy for you top-level guys.
We have new Owners, we just shot some stuff on Red Epic, 5D and EX-1.
We've transferred all the footage and catalogued it into groups.
We're feeling the Client might want to use footage in the future for
different purposes and we'd be keen to sell it to them - however, they
need a way to preview it and preview future shoots, simply and easily.
The Client is not a ProdCo or TV Station or Ad Agency, they are just a
manufacturer with no particular video (or computer) knowledge.
The people who will look at the material are middle-to-top Management
and all the ignorance that entails... (see footnote)
HERE'S THE BRIEF (IN MY WORDS):
"Produce a DVD with all the footage on it, in good enough quality so
they can see how good it is. And make this DVD with a menu so any one of
hundreds of clips can be accessed and played - not a video DVD because
that's too low quality - and this DVD has to play automatically in every
computer under every Operating System no matter how old the computer and
it has to do this - playing perfectly - with no human intervention
whatsoever."
Should be pretty easy for all you Tekko-Heads, yes?
So, just tell me and I'll make the DVD.

footnote: once an Agency Owner bragged to me he'd finally figured out
how to forward emails. "Well done" says I.
"Wanna see me do one?" he asks. "Sure"
Turning his head, he shouts "Michael!"
His twenty-something PA comes running.
"Michael, forward this email" "Sure thing, where's it going?"
