Ok I have the basic mod rewrite code on my server that stops hotlinkers from hotlinking my files in their html, but it does not stop theives from "right click, save target as" hotlinking. A lot of my movies from my galleries are being posted on bbs and forums and the "right click" method surpasses my .htaccess since it does not send a referrer and they are allowed to download my files. Even if I have a directory that is protected by authentication (members) this method still works! This is pissing me off, I'm tired of having to change the path of my movies too often and it's costing me a lot of $$ in stolen bandwidth. My question is, is there a way around the "right click, save target as" hotlinking problem? I'm sure many webmasters are faced with this problem, please let me know your solution to this thanks.

I used to have a code for disableing right clicking that is what your gonna need. I think i had gotten it from Hotscripts.com but not sure.

not much you can do since you can still get around the disabling feature.. not going to say how since there is probably surfers and kids who would love to know the secret - but it is possibleComment

The only way is if you have the server and viewer software co-operating.Originally posted by FlyingIguana

Anything else can be circumvented with only a little effort.
Put your url on the videos. If they are distributed, at least you get the advertising.

This is the way to go. If somebody wants it bad enough they will get it, Just make sure there is a chance that you will get a return in the long run...Originally posted by Paul Waters

The basic mod_rewrite solution is checking the Referring URL . Movie Player do NOT send the Referrer as they simple don't know it.
The only method to prevent movie hotlinking is by IP restrictions. All surfers that loaded your HTML page are allowed to load the Movie. All the other are not.
My company developed an Anti-Movie-Hotlinking Apache Module. It's written in C and loaded directly in Apache. Unlike other PHP/Perl Solutions it's performance is amazing.

Watermarking is definitely a good idea, regardless of the type of protection you employ. However, if you want to eliminate your movies from being downloaded, ultimately you should be using DMR (digital rights management), so your videos can only be streamed from your website.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.Comment

Any recommendations on software? (preferably freeware or cheap since I don't need a suite or to even use this software regularly)Originally posted by Paul Waters

I had a filter for VirtualDub but lost it when I upgraded to XP and the ones I've tried since haven't worked for me; and when I tried to append a clip with a separate clip advertising a URL there was always a minute fraction of difference the appending software would reject even though both clips were captured using the same settings..Comment

true, but Im taking responsibility by showing kids or surfers how to get free movies that the webmaster purposely disabled the right click feature. They are going to either have to suffer, or figure it out for themselves.Originally posted by 80smetal
