As mentioned above, a simple .htaccess which checks the referer won't
work reliably because some video players, most notably Windows Media Player,
won't send a referer header. Cookies also won't work reliably because many
surfers have cookies turned off. There go the really simple approaches.
If your videos are in a members' area, protected the members' area with
Strongbox will also take care of hotlinking. If the are in a public area where
people do not have to log in, a time dependent hash is probably the way to go.
We could set up soemthing liek that for you.
