QuickTime: Protecting Your Movies
You can help prevent people from saving your movies by
disabling the "Save As QuickTime Movie.." feature. It should be
noted, however, that this won't guarantee someone who's
motivated enough won't get his or her grimy hands on your
movies, but it will foil the newbie.
You can accomplish this one way by disabling the "kioskmode"
feature in QuickTime By default this is set to "false" meaning
the movie will allow saving. It's also not displayed in the
embed code because it's "false" by default. This is the normal
code for your movies in an HTML page:
<embed src="mymovie.mov" width="640"
height="496">
Here you can see how to add the code: kiosk="true" to disable
the saving feature:
<embed src="mymovie.mov" width="640"
height="496" kioskmode="true">
You can see in the example above that the "Save As QuickTime
Movie..." has been removed from the movie options.
Just by adding that little bit of code to your movies you can
stop the average Joe from saving your movies:) |
