What ever people tell you, WU is not secure and offert no way to track the receiving end.
At best the guy will send a pirate copy, at worst, nothing...

Of course, it would be possible to cut the first few second but still, it would be an adition burden for the pirates.
I dont know (and think) if its possibe with WMA or divX file format, but I know its doable with quicktime...
I dont think the problem lies in the hand of the pirates who copy the files but in the hands of the first person who publish it on the P2P network. If the person knew that he could be tracked back, he would think twice before sharing his file in the first place.
Another way to discourage piracy is to offert good services and use the pirates as a mean of free promotions. After downloading the video, the pirate will come to the site and meet the authors, see the DVDs for sales, etc... And will understand that if he wants to get more tutorials, he will have to contribute too. So he will probably get the files he cant get on the network like the DVDs, etc... Of course, this is a risky move because unlike artists, you dont do concert, live class, etc... The videos are the sole source of income, so I dont think its such a great strategy...
Anyways, the point is that there are solutions to piracy and I strongly encourage you to use them for your new tutorials.

How complicated would this be? I know here at work we have scripts that do slate burn-ins etc on the fly but then we dont mind how long it would take. I guess the processing overhead wouldnt make this feasible would it?

I dont think it would require a big server upgrade (maybe a small dedicated server) because only bought files have to be encoded and I doupt that you sell more than a few files at any given second (I hope for you that I am wrong ;-) ).
The idea is basicaly to divide the video in a parts and add the image between the parts and then stitch everything together and upload the file. So there wouldnt be any encoding to be done. Totaly file size might be a little bit bigger tho.
But I dont think that puting the infos right in the middle of the files in random spot is such a good idea because it might bother the user. So placement would have to be carefully selected.

But we dont use quicktimes here, but I dont think it's a problem. Once the main encoding is done it would simply be a case of overlaying a watermark.If you give me a few days I will check this out because I am kinda out of the quicktime programing loop since a few months.
