Im currently designing a website that offers videos to paying users. So obviously i only want those users to be able to see those videos and make it as hard as possible for others to view/download my videos.
Since im rather new to this field i could use some help here.
At the moment my plan is as follows:
- of course users have to be signed in at my site to be able to view videos
- use botr for hosting my videos
- use RTMPe and signed URLs
Questions that i have:
- is RTMPe activated by default? I have set my account to secure video downloads and player embeds
- signed URLs is working, but i just tested it in IE9 with flash disabled. i assume it then uses html5 and i could just right click the video and save it on my computer, which obviously isnt secure at all.
- what else should i do to keep my videos as secure as possible?
RTMPe is enabled by default
If Flash us disabled it is very well possible that IE allows you to download the video file in the HTML5 fallback. We think the reduced security is less of a problem than video not playing for a lot of users, especially since when downloading gets hard, it is actually trivial to simply capture the screen anyhow.
