Q: Facing performance issue in video upload - II
Hi team - I tested with DRM and non DRM upload on the same video. Without DRM it completes in 3 min but with DRM feature it completes in 30-40 min. It is using same internet speed at my end. What is the reason in delay ?

The difference in completion time is expected. When DRM is enabled, the video goes through additional processing steps that are not required for non-DRM uploads. These include encryption, packaging and generating protected keys. This extra processing adds to the overall transcoding time, even if your internet speed is the same. Non-DRM uploads skip these steps, which is why they finish much faster.
