Newb - embedding a MOV in a web page and "locking" it?

I am aiming at producing online tutorials on my web site.
I've used iShowU to capture the screen and intend to edit the video in FCP.
My question is: when I embed the tutorial video (a MOV file) in my web page, I don't want the viewer to be able to download it to his machine or somehow extract it from my website.
Is there a way of "locking" MOV files so they can't be downloaded?
Thanks,,

I don't know whether this would work, or would suit you, but you could investigate hosting the movies on YouTube, which I believe does not allow downloading: you can embed these movies in a web page. However I don't know whether the method mentioned by the previous poster would be inhibited by this.

Embedding flash movie in a web page

I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?

If you are loading content ala using an xml file, that may be the source of the problem. When you load a Flash file into a web page, that web page becomes the frame of reference for any files that the swf loads. So if you tested this where the html file was in the same folder, but then moved things into different folders, then you need to adjust the Flash to load things as if it is in the html file's folder

Creating a movie for a web page and making it continuously loop

Hi all! I have a client who wants me to create a slide show with 7 images at a specific size for his web page. He wants it to continuously loop. I don't know much about this. Where can I go to learn how? I can make the movie... but I'm not sure what to export it as... and what the settings should be to enable me to make it the correct size and so that it loops. Thank you!
I'm using iMovie '08 on my iMac.
PS: When I looked up online for help, all I found was how to make a movie loop on one's computer. Not on web pages.

.gif files are supported in all browsers and do not need any special "player". They are very limited in their support of colors and most Web pages rarely use them anymore.
QuickTime .mov files can be set to "loop" (as explained above). Much more colors (millions).
iMovie is the wrong tool to make your file (and it doesn't create .swf format).
QuickTime Player Pro is the tool you need. It can import an "image sequence", set the frame rate (up to ten seconds per frame) and save the file in the .mov container.

Creating a Simple Slideshow w music as a movie for a web page.

Hi all,
I would like to create a simple slideshow with music saved as a mp4 movie for a web page. I'd like to use basic transitions like crossfades between the pictures and other fun stuff
A few questions:
1 - Would I be better of creating this in iPhoto or iMovie or Keynote?
2 - Any hints in getting started?
note: I guess I'll post this on iPhoto area also...

You are probably better off in iMovie. You will have a lot more control. With iPhoto, as far as I know, all slides would have to be the same length, and you would need to pick music from iPhoto. With iMovie, you can customize slide length, make them change on the beat, use your own music, etc.
I would use Keynote only if you want to include text and bullets where the photo is only part of the slide.

Some people are unable to view my movie on my web page

I published a short movie on my web page. Some people are able to view the movie; however, others cannot view the movie at all. I thought that everyone would be able to view the movie once I put it on my web page. I don't understand why some can see it and others cannot. One of the people that cannot view the movie is very "computer smart" and has a "good computer", so I am very confused about this. Can anyone help?

iWeb uses QuickTime and it is required to view your file.
Newer machines and Apple "iApps" create files that use H.264 Video codec which requires the viewing machine have version 7 installed.
Version 7 of QuickTime can't be installed on all machines as it requires 10.3.9, or higher, on a Mac and Windows XP, or higher on a PC.

Downloaded 5.1.1 to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Email seems to be ok. iphone running slow and sluggish. I have read several other users have experienced the same problem. Any solutions?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

How can I use Automator or AppleScript to get text from a web page and paste it in execl?

I don't know how to make scripts or complexed automator workflows... that's why I'm asking.
I'm trying to make a simple app or script to ask me what text to extract from a web page, like name, address and phone number of a web page and paste each one of these data in the righ cell of excel.
I was thinking to promt a request from automator or an applescript to ask me which text to extract from the page or to look throught the HTML of the page to search for specific html tags, from which extracting text and then importing it, or paste it to the specified execl cell. Name in the name cell, address in the address cell and so on.
Can somebody help me to make this script?
If you know an alternative, like a software that already do this or another language to use, please tell.

Try holding down the alt key as you mark the text to be copied. You can then copy columns to table text.

hello sofg777, when you're at a page you want to print try to press ctrl+P and select a different printer than the Microsoft XPS Document Writer which seems to be set as your default printer in firefox at the moment.

In putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I wnt to red

picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
That should do what you are loking for.

Want user to click on pic from my Web page and for it to enlarge in awindow

I've uploaded my pic from iPhoto and placed in on my page in iWeb. I want the user to be able to click on the pic on my web page and for the page to "enlarge" so the user can see it better. Possibly in a new window.
Is this possible in iWeb?

There are a couple of ways. See my demo pages Fancy Zoom and Opening Item in New Specially Sized Window. Both will do what you want. The code uses is also described.

IPad won't copy text from web page and paste in email

I'm trying to copy text from a web page, and when I paste it in Note or in a new email, it copied the web page link, not the text. Doing this in iPad. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I think it depends on what you are trying to copy.
To copy, put your finger on the text and hold until the copy thing shows up. Adjust the size to whatnyou want, then touch copy.( I know, you already knew that). To paste, touch the screen where you want it to go until the paste thing shows up.
I just did it
glass, metal and minimalist design. Two. ( pasted from a web page)
Some pages are set up so that you cannot copy words or images.
So try a different page to see if you are doing it right.
If you want, post the link to the page and we call all try it as well.

Dynamic web pages and Access

I am starting to work on some dynamic web pages to upload
information to an Access 2003 database using ASP. What I would like
to do is to give the user a chance to review their information
before it actually gets sent to the database. That is to say, after
they fill out the form on the dynamic web page, and click a submit
button, I would like to bring up a new page with their info
summarized and give them the chance to review it and/or go back and
make changes before it actually gets written to the database. Any
suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm not sure what the question is. It sounds like you already
know what you want.
Have the form post to an asp page that retrieves the form
values and displays them in the format you want. Give them the
choice to go back and make changes or submit. The second page can
also be a form that you dynamically populate from the first page
values.
I'm not really sure what the benefit of this is. Why do the
users need a different page to review what they input from the
original page? What added value will there be?

Difference between Web pages and journal

I cannot really pin down the difference between a web page and a web journal in Aperture 2. Any ideas? I'm sure it is obvious but I'm dumb today.

Here's a sample of a travelogue done with the Journal mode:
