.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*.yourdomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(MPG|mpg)$ http://www.yourdomain.com [R]

your .htaccess file will handle this. If you're using apache (which you should be), have your admin make sure the mod_rewrite is installed and running. Then add the appropiate coding that will stop everyone from pulling that file or any file from your site unless it is requested from your site itself. Hope that made sense.

add this to the .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.mpg$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.mpeg$ - [L]

hope that helps

no... I'm busy today... but in a nutshell, forget about htaccess for vids.... not gonna work. You either use a rotator script to constantly rename them & the paths so no one can get a grip on them long enough to hotlink, or you bury them deep as you can in a subfolder somewhere & take your chances without protection.

This has been fully hashed out before here... do a search on the topic and you'll see some good stuff from Lane and some others who dissected the problem to it's bone.

If they've come up with a new solution since then, I haven't heard of it.

best of luck...

Not quite correct. What if the filename ends with .mPg ? BUMP!
You'd better make it look this way:
RewriteRule .*[Mm][Pp][Gg]$ http://www.domain/hotlink.jpg

You could create an image that would look like "This image is hosted by blablabla.com"

My :2 cents

Let us know when that script is done. I am curious.

Do what AMP said and use a rotator script or stick the files outside of your public HTML or in a directory with all the permissions removed/htaccess stopping all access and then use a script in php or something to stream (no I dont mean streaming video) up to the browser.

You can then check whatever you like in the script before picking it up with a file IO command and pushing it up to the browser.
