Question
Real Player 11 Security?
I do not have a Flash Media Server. But I may get one
depending on the answer to this question.
Real Player 11 Beta released this week and one feature it to "grab" videos off websites in order to save them to your personal computer harddrive and burn them to CD/DVD. That is fine for content that is for public consumption, but what about content that is behind subscriptions or copyrighted?
I Downloaded Real Player 11 yesterday to test if it worked with my site which has .flvs which progressively download on it. Unfortunatley, it worked like a charm. Easy to download and the video looks good.
Real said if you have Microsoft DRM then it won't let the video download. Great, except what about Mac users where microsoft DRM doesn't mean anything?
So, question is, does Flash media server provide security against Real Player 11's grab the video feature?
