A system, apparatus, and method are directed towards managing motion picture film print marking and tracking using a reel changeover marking (RCM) to encode a unique identifier. In one embodiment, an Encoded RCM (ERCM) is located within a print during a print duplication process. The ERCM is arranged to persist through a variety of transformations, including camming, compression, and so forth. In one embodiment, an identification extraction component is configured to analyze a digital copy print to extract the unique identifier from within an ERCM. A print tracking component may then search a data store to determine a corresponding source print to the digital copy print based on the extracted unique identifier. A source of piracy may be determined, at least in part, by identifying possible security weaknesses in a distribution chain that may be associated with unauthorized duplication of the film print, and so forth.
