There is no way in which you can completely prevent website visitors from downloading a particular QuickTime movie. That’s only because the webpage must be displaying a link pointing to the location of the movie.

This video tutorial shows how to use Apple’s MakeRefMovie to create a reference movie relative to a self-contained QuickTime video. The purpose of this tutorial is absolutely not to imply in any way that self-contained QuickTime movies can be protected. We only intend to show that you can make it difficult for website visitors to download the self-contained movie by disguising its location. That’s basically the same way in which website administrators use a gate file in SWF to disguise the location of the source file (FLV).

Moreover, we use Adobe Dreamweaver in this video tutorial. And you can use any HTML editor you are used to using.
