Secure streaming video, or parsing it in a webservice?

Question

User-1103495211 posted

I've build a site that plays streaming video's. 
But users can download it by using  the URL.
I don't want that, it should be only played with the silverlight player, and not be downloaded at all.

How can i build in security for that? in IIS ? or should i build a kind of webservice witch returns the movie ?

What are the best options for this problem?

When the video is rendered in client side, nothing can stop downloading. Authenticate the user before redirecting to the video page. 

Best practice is implementing a WCF RIA Service. WCF RIA Services simplifies the development of n-tier solutions for Rich Internet Applications (RIA), such as Silverlight applications
