Preprocessing media to facilitate later insertion of a watermark

There are several watermarking applications that require the deployment of a very large number of watermark embedders. These consumer applications have severe budgetary constraints that limit the computation resources that are available. Under these circumstances, only simple embedding algorithms can be deployed, which have limited performance. In order to improve performance, we propose preprocessing the original media during content creation. A simple example of this procedure is described and experimental results confirm our assertions.
