goddi Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Present your sequence via YouTube, or use the protection measures in Project Options > Advanced (not really secure).Regards,Xaver===================Xaver,There are YouTube "downloader" programs that will allow anyone to download a YouTube show and convert it to another format. Not much you can do, I don't think you can avoid it.Gary Quote
Barry Beckham Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 SnapcamCan I ask what you are concerned about, with regard the public saving the show? Quote

snapcam Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Posted January 12, 2011 SnapcamCan I ask what you are concerned about, with regard the public saving the show?Sorry Barry I missed your post when I replied to the other answers.The reason is it may not be my sequence that is used and the author may not want their work copied willy/nilly. Secondly festival workers tend to use copyright music and their licence conditions may not allow for public distribution.You'll enjoy hearing that I know!Regards Quote
fh1805 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Snapcam,The UK Copyright Clearance Licences available from the IAC specifically permit sequences to be uploaded to Youtube. If copyright is your prime worry then that would be the way to go.regards,Peter Quote
Lin Evans Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Bottom line is: You can't. If it is available for viewing on the web, it can and will be downloaded and saved by someone. With an executable file, you can put in a password so only someone who has the password can "play" the executable. For a video which is available via the web either by embedding or link, there is presently no reliable way to protect it by preventing a "save." For a video file to be played it either must reside on the server (streaming) or must reside in a hidden temporary folder on the user's computer (pseudo streaming) such as with Flash FLV, or be downloaded in its entirety to the client such as with Flash SWF . When it is played either way on the client machine it can always be "captured" in numerous ways.I'm afraid you will be wasting your effort trying to prevent the viewer from saving the file.
