I'd like to be able to show videos using Windows Media Player but not allow them to download the video. But if they right-click on the WMV player, they can see the file location and go grab the file. Is there any way around showing them the file info? swabygw@hotmail.com

Sorry, one other thing: they can also see the videoURL in the source (Internet Explorer: View-Source). Is there a way to hide that, as well? swabygw@hotmail.com

ASPNetVideo does protect file URLS from casually being seen in source code. If this is not so please can you explain how to do it.... To fully protect movies from download - you need to host them on Windows Media Streaming Hosting... Try www.egihosting.com/ for example

It doesn't seem to protect URL's. For example, in the demonstrations area for WMV on this website (http://www.aspnet-video.com/aspnetvideo_Demonstration-Hello-World-ASP-NET-Windows-Media-Player.aspx), you can right-click on the screen, select Properties, and see on the File table the file location (http://www.aspnet-video.com/videos/dancedancerevolution.wmv).
How can this source file location be kept private?

If you want to serve a file - one MUST tell the browser its location. That is unavoidable. To protect your file. 1. Stream it through an ASPX page as you would an image from a database. Search teh forum for more help on buffering and mime types. You can then build custom protection. 2. Use Streaming Media hosting .. teh user will see the video but never download it....again - its in the forum many times.
