Preventing a video from being downloaded can be challenging but implementing streaming protocols like HLS/DASH with DRM encryption can significantly mitigate unauthorized downloads. These technologies help in restricting access and provide better control over content distribution.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is DRM encryption? DRM encryption is a technology that protects digital content from unauthorized access and distribution by applying restrictions.
  2. Can streaming protocols fully prevent video downloads? While streaming protocols like HLS and DASH provide security, they may not completely eliminate the risk of downloads.
  3. What are HLS and DASH? HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) are protocols that enable adaptive streaming while providing security features.
  4. How effective are video security technologies? Video security technologies, including DRM and secure streaming, significantly reduce unauthorized downloads but are not foolproof.
