Most people link to the videos.. thiw wouldn't work if you ran filecabi.net , but it would work on galleries

FYI the variation on this which I first came across is at
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/hotlinking and some of the comments might interest anyone who has security concerns about the php code involved.
For anyone who tries using that version for images, I had to alter one of the htaccess lines to get it to work, putting:
Code:
RewriteRule (.*) /showpic.php?pic=protected_directory/$1
in place of:
Code:
RewriteRule (.*) /showpic.php?pic=$1
ie the name of the protected directory had to go ahead of the variable.
