Video File Protection

[Louis]

Does anybody know how i can protect my flv and avi files from being used by another website?

You should be able to do this via .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yourdomain.com [NC]

RewriteRule \.(flv|avi)$ - [NC,F,L]

If you want to display a custom message and what not, in the third line there replace the '-' with:

RewriteRule \. (flv|avi)$ http://yourdomain.com/customimage.jpg [NC,F,L]

Obviously replace http://yourdomain.com/customimage.jpg with the proper URL

You can also add any extension type in the third line there to modify / customize your needs.

Hope this helps (and works )
