codingmasterRS Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Any suggestions on how I could program my own DRM for video embeded in a webpage. I am aware I would not be able to use "common" embed methods (such as video tags etc), but just need to know where to get started with this, I know how it works but how do I go about programming it. It would need to be platform independant and use no plugins etc for the browser (dont know if this is possible) I am ultimately looking at building a system to make it VERY hard to download the video. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 If you search the forums you'll find that this question has been posted many times and every time they give the same answer: you can't protect such material as in order to view the video you need to download it!

Alex Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 This will make it very difficult to download the video: if(rand(0, PHP_INT_MAX) == 73) { // Display video } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codingmasterRS Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 @Daniel0 just want to make it very hard and thought DRM might help if they do manage to download it I can lock it up? how hard do we all believe ALexWD's code will make it to download the video? I presume the higher the value (73) the harder? Thanks for your help so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Alex's code was a joke, only you didn't see it that way. If you run his code you'll notice the page keeps loading.. and loading.. and loading... until by coincidence it hits 73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhbalaji Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 My suggestion is best to embed that in a flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
