quicktime movies

is it possible to exhibit a movie without letting users save it?

my client wants a quicktime demo video displayed that cannot be downloaded by visitors. any ideas? thanks in advance, mike c.

It's impossible. What can be seen - can be downloaded. After all, seeing IS downloading it, just it displays it automatically.

hmmm ... there's something that was introduced with QT5 in which the URL you must have somewhere in your code, points to a file that's actually just a prologue that contains the first part of the movie while the rest of it is at another url that's embedded in the prologue.

Also, it's possible to hide the QT url in a QT picture that then loads the movie without revealing the QT url. This is a technique available since at least QT4.

Get a good book on QT an read up on the techniques
