website, web-development, copyright, videoI have created a educational website in wordpress where I want to put videos for students. I have the following questions regarding this matter [I need help as I do not have technical background regarding this]:
1]. Which is the video format which will be accessible for students A]. without they having to install any software…B]. Which will be easy to play even on mobiles
2]. I want to prevent the students from copy pasting and downloading the videos. they should be able to read, see and hear…but not download / copy paste as I have copyrighted these material
Awaiting your response Thanks in advance Harsha
Most computers and browsers supports H.264 format (I.e. mp4). So if you use h.264 format, it should play nicely across majority of desktop, mobile devices.
In terms of content protection, there is no way you can prevent users from downloading it to their own device. By default, in order to play the video, the device must download the data into device’s memory. What you can do is make it harder by prevent user from right click and download. However, for someone with a bit of computer proficiency, they can still get pass it.
Hope this helped!
