  Hello,
  Looking for a way to throw some footage online that can be viewed only, not downloaded to the cache etc. I do not want this footage to download to the viewer’s temp files etc.
  Using a PC – and I prefer to compress to quicktime.
  Thanks

  It’s possible. Basically you make a dummy movie that replaces itself with the actual movie, so users can’t sniff it out. You change the embed tag so that it loads only in the browser, etcetera. But all that said, I’ve yet to find a “protected” .mov I wasn’t able to extract myself in a few minutes with curl.
