Protecting members area video streams
 

We have a number of sensitive WMV movies we would like to display in the member's area but stream in such a way that the movies cannot be copied or stored on user's machine.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction for this script or if you can help in any way post a link or spam me at [email protected]

are they as sensitive as my gooch?

I don't know, let's see a 'drawring' :winkwink:

most of these days, it is hard to stop a user from downloading...unless you have a real file, i have a perfect setup for that...but it is still hard...ya know...
