ok thankhk,

its a question of balance, i'm keen to protect content that I have spent a lot of time developing but at the same time I don't want to have to spend just as must time worrying about theft etc, so with what I have learned so far I think I can find a balance :-)

Hi,

I'm impressed in the detail of the help provided. Thanks

The content is valuable hence the need to protect it form copying and distribution to a million membership sites!

I only want people who pay to see my videos. I have set up a membership site using wordpress and it works fine. Only members will see the pages with the video so that is one level of protection.

However what I would like to acheive is:
(i) not allow downloading of the video to the users PC,
(ii) not allow linking to the video directly
(iii) hide the location of the video files so direct linking will be hard as the address of the video will be hidden, and so forth...

At the moment I am tending towards the streaming route rahar than progressive download as I will have more control as per Liam's post above. Also simplecdn looks like a good option as the viewers will be international.

cheers

Hi,

I would like to provide swf "video" that

- cannot be cached on the viewers PC, and
- can only be played from my site.

Can I achieve this with Flowplayer?

cheers
