The purpose of this tutorial is absolutely not to imply in any way that self-contained QuickTime movies can be protected.  <strong>We only intend to show that you can make it difficult for website visitors to download the self-contained movie<\/strong> by disguising its location.  That&#8217;s basically the same way in which website administrators use a gate file in SWF to disguise the location of the source file (FLV).<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, we use Adobe Dreamweaver in this video tutorial.
