Disable Right Click on a web site using streamed video
Hi I am working on a site that streams videos. I need to disable right click to hide the URL of the file do you know of any way to do this?
Hi
I agree with Eternal Student, the client could have disabled JS before viewing the video
check this link and maybe you'll get a better idea

You can hide the URL of the video to prevent direct linking, here is an example in ASP but it is similar in PHP. This would prevent other people linking to the video and using your bandwidth, which is a useful thing.

However, when you stream the video to a browser to be viewed, the person can capture and save the stream.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2254/ is but one way.
Disabling the right mouse button will be useless as mentioned above. Also there are keyboard shortcuts to view source as well as developer plugins for both IE and FF which allow you to dissect and view the source of a page and not use right click inside the browser window.

using this solution hides the original mp3 file, but lets people use an equivalent url that can be linked to.
a better but more complicated solution is to add some verification code to the asp
file, that checks referer information, session cookies etc. then, if verification fails, you can send an equivalent of http 403 - a sound of a police siren instead.

I don't think you can do this for Mozilla .. besides .. you can never stop anyone from finding the source of your video if they really want to. Right click disabling certainly wont stop most people who are even remotely internet savvy.
