Is there a way we can store the mpegs on the site and/or embed them in the pdf but protect them from being downloaded?

The more embedding, the better, e.g.,

Actually I'm not sure... You can change the Media Player's dimensions to make downloading non-intuitive, but I think if the source is available for play it can be downloaded... E.g.,

But I'm no HTML expert...

Hmmm, I was thinking about embedding a hyperlnk in the pdf to a webpage where the files are stored (but can't be downloaded). In which case, the question might change to:

Can you store mpegs on websites are prevent them from being downloaded??

ps thanks Nate!

there's the whole live streaming option - like the vids on youtube.com etc - you can watch but you can't download.

I was gonna suggest streaming - no really i was - because we used to do it to protect our music from downloading - Hengle knows alot about that kinda stuff.

BTW Copp - nice to see you back! how you been keepin?

Copper · **Superhero Extraordinaire**

Hm, streaming eh.... will look into it!

Been keeping well thanks!

So, we have manged to embed our streamed video files, but can't stop them from being downloaded.... gah!
Any further suggestions?

What are they able to download. If it's a 1 kb link-file, you have no worries.

There's a big difference between downloading the actual content and a link. Delete the content and the link doesn't work.

Thanks for all the advice boarders, we bought a flash converter thingy and now have the whole thing up and running. Hurrah!

Hah. I would have suggested flash as an option, being an expert in... er...flashing.

Let me know if you have any problems.
