htaccess and mod_rewrite.

Other then that I can set u up with something custom using captcha probably, depending on exactly what you are doing and how much you are willing to spend.

No email from them,
Contacted them through icq day by day and no reply at all

Your best bet is doing a passthrough auth; the easiest to implement is a wildcard subdomain which uses a hash which is tested for auth.

Hey, that's kind of how StrongBox works.

If you don't want to require login, use mod_rewrite to test filetype, referrer, and link all movies through a passthrough script. It's trivial to use $_SESSION in PHP and fpassthru.

I just set a cookie on a page with video on it, and refuse access to the directory with videos by htaccess (unless it finds the cookie) - simple works

As mentioned above, a simple .htaccess which checks the referer won't
work reliably because some video players, most notably Windows Media Player,
won't send a referer header. Cookies also won't work reliably because many
surfers have cookies turned off. There go the really simple approaches.

If your videos are in a members' area, protected the members' area with
Strongbox will also take care of hotlinking. If the are in a public area where
people do not have to log in, a time dependent hash is probably the way to go.
We could set up soemthing liek that for you.
