Question: I'm interested in a software that will allow others to view my videos from my a web site but NOT download them.

Just a side note.

Don't be deceived... If you can view a video on the Internet, it's already downloaded to the client. All streaming does [briefly] is allow you to play the video before it's fully downloaded.

If you don't want people to 'have your stuff', don't put it on the Internet.

I use Vimeo for my online video, and there is a security option that allows you to specify who if anybody can download it (as opposed to viewing it). But John is correct - if it is there at all, somebody will figure out how to get it. Nothing - repeat Nothing - is secure on the Internet unless perhaps you encrypt it, and that is a whole 'nother chapter.

Thanks for the information, Ron.

So even a Flash-based slideshow can be downloaded?

John and Bobby, thanks also for the enlightenment.

Yeah, if you can see it, then it's downloaded.
