Question

Here is the code that I use to embed video from “YouTube” to my blog:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="460" height="390"
data="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hg8Fa_EUQqY&amp;feature&amp;rel=0"><param
name="movie"
value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hg8Fa_EUQqY&amp;feature&amp;rel=0"
/><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="quality"
value="high" /></object></p>

I wonder if it’s possible to embed videos into your blog, but hide the source? I mean I don’t want people to know that I have uploaded this video on “YouTube” or at least I don’t want them to know where exactly on the “YouTube” I have uploaded my videos.

Is it possible at all?

Embedding videos while hiding the source – is that possible at all?

Answer 1

If someone is sufficiently motivated, they will always be able to tell where their computer is loading the video from.

But to answer your question, no, the HTML source will always be available to the user. After all, if their browser is allowed to see the source, it will happily provide this to the user. And if the browser isn’t allowed to see the source, it can’t show the user their video (because it doesn’t know there is one, because it didn’t see the HTML source).
