Ok I know that there is no way to 100% to prohibit video download from web site.
But what is the best way to all that maximum complicate to potential thief give up. My site has
.WMV file tipe, I get the video path from ListView.
As per my knowledge there is no way to prevent user to download the videos. There are so many tools available over internet to save the steaming video/audio.

The only way to do this is with a trusted client, DRM and an encrypted source.
Your player opens up a connection, the user has a connection to the stream, you perform some magic authentication with their token and then transmite the encrypted data to them.
If you don't do this then anyone can download your video and save it out.
However with all that aside, someone can run screen capture, then save your video and do it again. This is again where the DRM comes in as one of the key features of the DRM in windows clients is that the buffer cannot be sniffed as it's on the protected
media pathway.
I guess its a question of how to protect your revenue but dealing with pirates is always going to be a problem for software devs no matter what their business is.
And 1 more thing
I dont think there is an easy way to stop people from getting your videos if they want them,
there are plenty of plugins for firefox that allow downloading from even youtube and many places. And i imagine those plugins would disable any attempt you made to hide your videos.
not too terribly different than taking an image from flicker, they put a clear gif image over the image that you want to view, so that when you right click and save you get "the shield" image, however can be defeated by the lowly print screen button.
if you want casual users from getting your file, use a flash control and buffer a minute or two of your videos and make that flash authenticate with the server to get those files. that seems reasonable to me

Ok I know that there is no way to 100% to prohibit video download from web site. But what is the best way to all that maximum complicate to potential thief give up. My site has .WMV file tipe, I get the video path from ListView.
Code is:
<div id='mediaspace' class="td" style="width: 625px; background-color: #6699FF;"></div> <script type='text/javascript'> var cnt = document.getElementById('mediaspace'); var src = 'player/wmvplayer.xaml'; var cfg = { height: '481', width: '625', file: '<%= Label1.Text %>', image: '<%= LabelSlika.Text %>', logo: 'img/logo.jpg', backcolor: "000000", frontcolor: "6699FF", lightcolor: "FF6600", start: "10", overstretch: "true" }; var ply = new jeroenwijering.Player(cnt, src, cfg); </script> </div>Curt_C
