Can you add support to video encryption? I think ffmpeg support it.

It seems playing video with alpha channel has big performance hit, click on the seek bar has obvious delay to show update frame. If playing a 1440p video with alpha channel and increase the playback speed, it drop to 5fps and a/v out of sync on my PC. It is no problem on the same video without alpha channel (can play with 5000fps).

Video encryption supports is something which hasn’t been asked for yet… Not certain if the need for that is high.

As for alpha channels, you’re adding a lot of extra bytes per frame so the performance drop is to be expected. I will take a look to see if somehing can be improved on that part. ;)

I am making a FMV game, so I want to use video encryption prevent player directly play it in media player. I have checked godot PCK do support encryption, I may use it instead of video encryption.

I think the extra bytes of alpha channels should not cause that big impact. I have try to make a video + alpha mask side by side (because I want to use av1 codec but it don't support alpha) and use a modified shader play the alpha channel video without any speed problem.
