Protecting Video Files with .htaccess???
I am using real player formated video and other files..
with regular .htaccess it can not be played or downloaded..
Is there a special .htaccess for the directory or an embedded script that will allow playing or downloading of movie, etc files???
Thanks for your Help.

There are several ways to do adjust your .htaccess for videos,
all with their
disadvantages. You can allow the null referer (no referer),
but then people can (and will) hotlink and bookmark like crazy.
You can use a cookie based .htaccess, but with nearly
half of porn surfers having cookies turned off,
that'll lose you a lot of customers.
The best solution, probably is Strongbox.
Strongbox is the
next generation approach to security which solves
most, if not all, of the problems associated
with old fashioned approaches, including hotlinking, etc.
Strongbox works just fine with any type of video.

Ray,
Thanks for you help.
However, Strong Box would cost me WAY!!! more than I make a month.
Yes, It's True, after 2 years in the Business, and after the visa regulation change, and after the Google Reindexing, I am barely dragging in 300.00 every two weeks.
Thanks

WTF are you talking about, Strongbox is only $35?
Typically it saves enough bandwidth to pay for itself
within a month or two.

Strongbox AVS Pricing AVS Sites Discount Price each
1 site 0% $35 each
5 sites 20% $28 each
10 sites 40% $21 each
20 sites 60% $14 each
40 sites 75% $8.75 each
70 sites 80% $7 each
100+ sites 85% $5.25 each
I have well over 100 sites... close to 400..
andddddddddd
400 x 5.25 = 2100.00 if my calculations are correct.
Now unless I misunderstood what you charge. That is what I get from the pricing guide...
I MAY BE WRONG...???
