I got bored of reading this thread halfway through the second page, but did
anyone mention that the "protection" people are talking about only protects
your content from a few morons? Using an embed tag to stream your video
or using Flash only makes it take about 6 seconds longer to save - you aren't
protecting a damn thing. What it does do is make it a pain in ass for legit
customers. There still isn't a Flash player for 64 bit systems just yet, though
there is a beta which crashes your browser. 64 bit systems are now $500 at
Wal-Mart, so anyone with a recent system can't see your fucking Flash without
downloading it and using another program to convert it. Then same thing with
Microsoft DRM - one version, I think it was the latest, was hacked before it was
officially released, so it doesn't protect anything. It does, however, mean that
if I want to use any player other than Microsoft's I have to convert the video
before I can watch it. People who don't use Microsoft's player include all Mac
and Linux users, of course. So that's why you get bad reviews - because
your site is a hassle for a lot of people, for no gain - your not protecting
yourself against anyone who has done it before, only from clueless newbies.
