Anyone know about streaming .wmv ?I've asked before without success but:
How do you protect streaming video (.wmv) from being stored (saved as a file) I have to make hundreds of teaching aids via streaming video (from my pc) and i would obviously like to prevent end user from stealing them all I've been told previously that it can't be done, but many of the streaming videos on the web are protected this way so i know it is possible - just dont know how - i would imagine it's something in header that disables saving or buffering (like .ra file), or maybe something server end JethroUK© wrote on Sun, 11 Jun 2006 22:25:45 GMT:

Quicktime tries to get around it using 2 video files - 1 to load into the QT control itself, which then loads the actual video in the background - however even this is relatively simple to get around.

"...No, they just use techniques to make it HARDER for the casual computer
user..." on the assumption that nothing is impossible - is there anything i can do to make it 'harder' (disable save)?
