It's pretty hard to prevent anyone being able to download your videos.

It depends on how much trouble as in time and expense you want to go to and how determined the surfer is.

I'm a bit rusty in online video stuff but that first site uses mms which I believe is a windows media server protocol. That would be able to be captured quite easily with a number of programs out there. But they also go one step further and redirect anyone pulling up the mms stream directly by redirecting them back to the video page.

Other people use flash to embed the video but again there are programs to save flash video files.

Doing anything except linking directly to the video file (like at least putting it in a popup and disabling right click etc) should be enough to put off most people from downloading.

Try those basic steps first and see how much that helps and whether you have to do anything more.
