No, not really, because the parser(s) that this application uses 
expects to see the input file that's in the proper format (a MPEG 
Program Stream), and expects to see the enclosed video in the proper 
format (MPEG Video Elementary Stream).  If you encrypt the file, it 
will no longer be in a form that the parser(s) understand.
