Screen capture video scrambeling software

Hello all.
I have a video that I would like to put on a web page and
I do not want someone to be able to take a program like
"Camtasia Video screen capture" and copy it.

Is there any software that I can use that will NOT allow this
video to be captured?

Thanks for any feedback.

I'll say this once for you, so listen up.

IF YOU DONT WANT SOMEBODY TO TAKE IT, DONT PUT IT ON THE INTERNET!

There is *NO* way you can control what will happen, and you already found a 'ghetto' workaround - simply catching the stream (hiccups and all) with a screen-capturing program.

Other ways would be downloading the file directly in it's perfect quality.

The way the internet works, is like this. There are files on another hard drive somewhere in the world. You use the internet to access these files - but before they can be diplayed, you have to transfer them.

So, every image you see 'online' isn't really online, it's just been transferred to your computer and then your computer shows it.

For any file (image, video, whatever) to show in your browser, it must first be downloaded.

Now, the place it downloads to might be encyrpted, or it might clear out every time the browser is closed, or it might be a small size and continually deleting old stuff - but the same minds that built the browsers can regain access to what they've hidden.

It's not hard in most browsers to get files.

The 'safest' way to show video *was* to have it stream within flash, and only link to the SWF player, which would use javascript to call the file. If they download the player they've only got the player that way.

But, now because that's gained popularity people have written software specifically for this purpose. Download youtube videos. ring a bell?

What do you have against people seeing from their hard drive or ipod (saving you bandwidth) but you totally don't care how many times they watch it on your site.

What it sounds like to me - is that you as a person, at your point in maturity about these thing should not put a video online until you are ready to let it go.

 

Thank You for your feedback
Well, I do see your point.
I may have to change some things around.

I have a secured membership site that allows its members to view hundreds of video tutorials online. (Not fully launched yet)

These are videos that I have certain rights to.
Produced by others that I've bought the rights from.
If the members want to buy rights to these video series packages
from me, they can pay a higher fee.

Since I do give VIP members the ability to view the streaming videos
in every series, I was concerned about bootleggers.

Looks like I may not have any other option than to take down the videos in
their current state.
Do you think This is my only option?
I don't want to devalue the videos by having thousands of bootleg copies flying around the internet.
That wouldn't be fair to the original producers of the videos.

Thank you for your feedback.

It's really hard to find ways to protect such videos streamed and captured using camtasia, why not put a watermark on every videos you have? At least it will show where it originally came from like a logo or something.

 

Thanks for the reply.
That sounds like a possibility.
How might one go about the process.
Would it be something like fading an image of my choosing
in photo shop and then attaching it to the video?

Are there video tutorials on this subject, that you know of?

Try creating a logo on photoshop with a transparent background preferably .PNG format and attach it to your video as a watermark whether you make a fading transition or all the way visible on your video.

 

Sounds great!
Thanks for the tip.

id recommend putting a water mark on it like aYiNg said but in the middle of the video page but don't make it so its the main focal point of the video

 

any don't take them down - put them up in all their glory, they were made to be seen.

Just expect that people will take them and download them, and not everybody who downloads them is going to do anything BAD with it - it's okay, you just have to realize that they can download it if they want to.

Some video-hosting sites like Vimeo have an option for you to allow them to download the original source video file anyway - forget trying to rip it they'll just give you the full-quality one. I like that a lot.
