Participantare you hosting videos on the web? You need to get a streaming service.

GuestHi, No, I’m building my own website with videos and a player embedded in it so I can stream from my own website. As I was progressing through, and testing some dummy pages, I saw the pop-up and so I posted this thread. It’s no big deal, I’ll put nag screens and watermarks on them but I would rather not that if someone could tell me about a disabler or something.

Participantyea. you need a streaming server…or something like that, i can’t remember exactly what it’s called because I don’t bother with it. But that’s what streaming truly is, and it’s what you need if you want to prevent people from downloading the content.
The way you’re doing it is technically a download. The video temporarily downloads to the viewer’s hard drive and the video plays from their hard drive, not the web…it’s a temporary folder though and it’s hard to find.

Guestthanks for the link Rob, I guess you are right about the file being downloaded to the viewer’s hard drive but it isn’t really a problem, just a bothersome fly. Like I said, I can deter it but I just wondered if there was a fix. I certainly can’t justify a server though.
Thanks again

Memberi don’t have or use RealPlayer, but does it download video off youtube and allow you to access it without being online (that is, without finding the file in the temp folder, that is)?

GuestNo it basically gives you the option to download any flv file you happen to come across and saves the file into its own folder on your Programs directory or one that you designate – “My videos” for example.

MemberWould “Bits on the Run” from http://www.longtailvideo.com provide any kind of solution? Or, http://www.youreeeka.com
