How to best deliver video for bandwidth and copyright protection?

I'm thinking of producing some online technical video tutorials, and I am wondering how I should deliver them with the following in mind:
- I want to keep the download size as small as possible. I'm thinking of using captivate to create SWFs for each tutorial, so maybe this has nothing to do with Flex.
- I don't want anyone to be able to download the SWFs and distribute them, etc. (copyright protection).
My questions:
1) Should I simply use a VideoDisplay control, and stream the video?
2) Will users be able to right-click and save the SWF locally?
3) Will be videos be cached? That would be good to reduce data transfer on my side when users want to view multiple times, but does that mean a copy of the SWF is saved and thus accessible for misuse locally?
Any other hints on what to keep in mind when offering online video tutorials would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Greg 

I appreciate the suggestions, but I'm wondering about the default qualities of using video in Flex:
1) Should I simply use a VideoDisplay control, and stream the video?
2) Will users be able to right-click and save the SWF locally?
3) Will be videos be cached? That would be good to reduce data transfer on my side when users want to view multiple times, but does that mean a copy of the SWF is saved and thus accessible for misuse locally?

  • How to best prepare video for streaming

    I have several hundred of instructional video that are in the .rm format. They were previously served on a helix server. How do I best convert the files efficiently so they will stream on an xserve? Thanks in advance

    I would suggest visiting Telestream Website (www.telestream.net) and looking an Episode Pro. It can take multiple formats and convert them in batches. If you have hundreds of files the $500 bucks may be worth it. You can also download the demo and run it to make sure the it does what you want. Demo on makes 30 second clips but at least you will know it will do what you want to do. I know that it can encode files to realmedia .rm files so I'm pretty sure it will go the other way. It's really a work horse of a product.
    also check out Handbrake...I not at all sure if it does realmedia to .mov but it's free so downloading and giving it a test run doesn't cost anything.

  • How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

    How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
    After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

    There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
    Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
    I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

  • How to complete FCE video for upload to youtube

    Hi Apple Community,
    Does any one know how, exactly step by step
    how to finish FCE video for SUCCESFUL upload
    to youtube? I so appreciate your help.

    Check this out.
    Note the link to supported
    formats. You probably want to give them an h.264 .mov file. If you don't have Compressor, export using QT Conversion. Or download the free MPEG Streamclip and have it do the transcode (in which case you would export from FCE as a QT Movie Current Settings).
    Good luck.

  • How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

    Hi,
    How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
    I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
    DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
    After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving  the message that Incorrect logon and password.
    (Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
    Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
    -B S B

    Hi again:
    I forget to tell.
    You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
    Hope this wil help,

  • How to create custom infotype for training and event management

    hai freinds can any one tell me how to create custom infotype for training and event managment with following fields
    PS No – PA0000-> PERNR
    Name   - PA0001 -> ENAME
    IS PS.No. – PA0001-> PS no. of Immediate Superior
    IS name PA0001 -> ENAME
    thanx in advance
    afzal

    Hi,
    Your question is not clear for me. Since it is a TEM infotype, it could be a PD infotype.
    If you wish to create a PD infotype, use transaction PPCI to create the infotype.
    But before that you need to create a structure HRInnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
    If you wish to create a PA infotype, use transaction PM01 to create the infotype.
    But before that you may be required to create a strcuture PSnnnn  (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.

    how to create fxplug transition for xcode and quatrz composer?

    Hi Mohan,
    You have to create and configure your system in the system administration tab in the portal.
    Usually, it looks like the following:
    System from template: JDBC System
    Connector properties
       Connection URL: jdbc:sap:sqlserver://<serverlocation>;DatabaseName=<database name>
       Driver class name: com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
    User management properties
       User mapping type: admin, user
    Set the system with an alias.
    Go to user administration tab and map the user with VCRole to the configured system
    (the default for MSSQL is usauly user: sa and pw: admin)
    Save your changes and logon to VC with this user.
    The alias name should appear in your list of systems.
    Hope I helped,

  • What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive?

    What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive? I have a "somewhat" older version of iPhoto (5.0.4), and it doesn't seem to offer anything like that except during the importing phase of syncing my phone...

  • How many GB are recommended for downloading and watching movies on an ipad?

    how many GB are recommended for downloading and watching movies on an ipad?

    I agree. With a 16 gig you'll find that you only have room for a couple of movies once the operating system and any other apps take up their space.
    The other alternative would be to look into something like a wireless harddrive, where you can store your movies and stream them to your iPad via an app. However if you're purchasing content from iTunes that may/may not work. So if you consider that you may want to dig a little deeper and make sure it'll do what you want it to do.
