Adding protected video

[Bubble #5]

We are going to be making a tutorial website and we need to be able to add videos to threads and not have people steal them. I was thinking of somehow converting the videos to flash, and then adding that to the thread. Would this work, or is there a better way to do this? Thanks

There are ways to attempt to prevent users from downloading your embedded content. I can't provide you with code for that. Once you have the code then you can create a BB code. Here is an example:

It doesn't. You can use fancy code to obfuscate the source to try to prevent stealing. This requires custom code.

Is there someone that you know that you could recommend who would be able to write this code? Generally speaking, how much would you think something like this would cost (ballpark)?

Also, wouldn't something like this work?
