Could you build this?

Partial While the marketplace catalog and web store are standard CRUD, building a secure video-on-demand platform requires scalable transcoding pipelines, adaptive bitrate streaming (HLS/DASH), and studio-grade DRM protection.

What it would actually take: A marketplace architecture using Next.js/Stripe for transactions paired with cloud video infrastructure (AWS MediaConvert, Cloudflare Stream, or Mux) for video ingest and adaptive streaming. The hard technical parts are implementing DRM licensing (Widevine/FairPlay) to prevent film piracy and legal escrow/contract mechanics for IP licensing.
