I want to protect my flash video from robot downloaders to save on bandwidth.
I created a captcha that must be entered on the page that contains the flash
.swf which loads and plays the .flv video. The captcha is done in a
PerlAccessHandler. Also in Apache, I tried to place a restriction on the
directory containing the .flv files by doing a RewriteCond on the
HTTP_REFERER. However, there is no referer passed and I've since read that
it can easily be spoofed. So I'm looking for a more cleaver way of
restricting access to the flash directory, while still allowing the .swf to
read the .flv files. So far every restriction I've put on the directory also
prevents the videos from loading in the .swf player.

Any ideas? Thanks.
