Even if you used a video camera to tape a movie in the movie theater there is a digital fingerprint embedded. You cannot see this fingerprint which is hidden from the eye but it can be tracked. It matters not how you encode it because its embedded into the picture like a transparent watermark. The technology some big like George Lucas Films use is even more cutting edge then much bigger names like Warner Brothers.
" The clip — drained of color, with dialogue dubbed in Chinese — appeared to have been recorded with a camcorder in a dark movie theater before it was uploaded to the Web, so the image quality was poor.
Still, Mr. Ikezoye’s filtering software quickly identified it as the sword-training scene that begins 49 minutes and 37 seconds into the Miramax film “Kill Bill: Vol. 2.”"

" Fingerprints are used to enforce content copyright by enabling the copyright owner to trace back the source of a piracy act. An example would be that all users are given different copies of the content, such as now via a hard drive sent to the theater, where each copy contains a fingerprint—a user-specific watermark. If an unauthorized client redistributes the fingerprinted content, its uniqueness is used to trace back to the offending exhibitor."
