Add Copy Protection (shareware mode) to an Avi Splitter

Summary: Add a trial period (with appropriate "nag" screens) and a registration system to an existing avi splitter. Basically, convert a regular commercial application to shareware. I have a modified version of Gabest’s AviSplitter (source code for original: <[login to view URL]> ). Once installed, the modified Avi Splitter does the following: 1)? For regular avi files, it just does the usual splitting 2)? For encrypted avi files (these are files encrypted by me using another piece of software), it decrypts them on-the-fly and then does the usual. The encrypted avi files do not play on any other avi splitter, like QUARTZ.DLL. When an attempt is made to play an encrypted file using a regular splitter, a different video is displayed (the special avis are actually a combination of two avis: a public one and a private encrypted one; my splitter plays the encrypted part only). My avi splitter is designed to stop working on a hard coded MM/DD/YYYY. On this date, it starts acting like a regular avi splitter and plays only the public part of my avis, as well as all normal avis. From this point onward, my avi splitter is referred to as VMP. Everything above this line describes the functionality of the existing software. You do not have to design or implement any of that. **What you need to? add is described in the attached zip file.** IMPORTANT: Gabest’s AviSplitter is open source software under the GPL. What you are writing is closed source software for commercial use. We have a license from Gabest that allows us to do that. Once a bidder is a chosen, he/she will be provided with NDA documents. Once the NDA is signed, the bidder will be sent the source code to VMP. ## Deliverables Rent A Coder requirements notice: As originally posted, this bid request does not have complete details. Should a dispute arise and this project go into arbitration "as is", the contract's vagueness might cause it to be interpreted against you, even though you were acting in good-faith.
