I’m starting a new project that involves users paying to see educational videos. These videos (FLV) are hosted with Amazon S3 while the site itself is hosted on a regular web host.

I’ve tried to read up on securing the S3 files, and can’t find any good solution for this. I don’t want my users to download the videos directly.

I read something about setting up a HTTP streaming server, but I’m not quite sure how a service like this works, and how to set it up.

Anybody with any experiences on how to solve this?

    Get used to it.

    Even with an RTMP streaming server, it’s pretty easy to save the streams. You can add a load of obfuscation at the server and decoder to try to defeat the automated tools, but in the end what you have here is the unsolvable Copy Protection Problem.
