LoveFilm gets DRM and video optimisation technology

Widevine's solution will allow video to be streamed across a broad range of devices

LoveFilm is now offering DRM-protected movies, such as Reservoir Dogs

Postal movie rental service LoveFilmhas signed an agreement with US-based digital media solutions Widevine to provide DRM across its catalogue.

Widevine will provide a solution that allows the company's digital content to be streamed on a broad cross-section of devices.

The agreement will see LoveFilm further develop its digital content to be playable on a number of new devices. Widevine's DRM, adaptive streaming and virtual-DVD-like trick play technologies will ensure the video remains secure with viewing quality unaffected, according to the company.
